Owner’s Manual
To change the sound that is being triggered, press the Select button and then press
the desired pad.
To exit Note Repeat, press the Note Repeat button again. The button
will remain illuminated as long as Note Repeat is active.
2.2 Quick Setup Mode
Your ATOM controller provides customization options via Quick Setup Mode.
To launch Quick Setup Mode, press and hold the Setup button on the right side of
your ATOM controller.
While Quick Setup Mode is active, the 16 pads on your ATOM controller will not send
MIDI messages, rather they will act as toggle buttons for Quick Setup functions.
Releasing the Setup button exits Quick Setup Mode.
For advanced customization features, please see Section 5.4
2.2.1 Pad Modes
While Setup is enabled, Pads 1-3 allow you to select
the behavior of the pads on your ATOM.
• MIDI Drum Mode. This is the default setting for your ATOM. While
in this mode, the pads of your controller will illuminate with the
same color for each bank. Pressing a pad will switch the color to
white, indicating that the MIDI message has been sent.
• MIDI Keyboard Mode. While in this mode, the pads on your
ATOM will illuminate following the pattern of a piano keyboard,
where white keys are indicated by yellow and black keys are
indicated by blue. See Section 2.1.1.1 for more information.
• Mardi Gras Mode. This is a test mode for your ATOM. While
active, the RGB LEDs will cycle through the available colors.
Note: At the time of publication, Pad Modes are not available while Studio One Native
control is active.
