I did some testing with the Atom SQ and Version 4.6 and it does not work at all. You can't even set it up as generic MIDI as far as I can see. Not even the MIDI learn option works. Wish I had better news.

The System Requirements for ATOM SQ do say Studio One V5 or higher.

Thanks for your replies.

I have to say I think it stinks.
Of course I fully intend updating to five at some point but I dont like being pressured to do so, especially when my studio is getting ever fuller of Presonus products. I doubt there is any reason Atom SQ couldnt have been made play well with S1 4 pro.

I think Presonus should offer a larger upgrade discount to Studio One 4 pro users who buy Atom sq

Presonus is not pressuring anyone to do anything.

The ATOM SQ absolutely works as a standard MIDI controller in Studio One 4 (or even earlier versions). Set it up as a "New Keyboard" and make sure that the send and receive ports are set to ATOM SQ. You won't get all the cool, direct integration that you get in Studio One 5+, but you can map out the device to key commands and plugin parameters. Plus, the ATOM SQ has built in Scale modes that you can use in Studio One (or any application) as well. If you wanted to get fancy, you could also put ATOM SQ into MCU control mode, set up a Mackie>"Control" in Studio One and set the ports to ATOM SQ Control or MIDI2 on Windows. This way, the transport is automapped (for the most part) and you also get commands like Solo, Mute, etc., from ATOM SQ. You will also still need to have the "New Keyboard" setup as described above in addition to MCU.

I tried this several times and it did not work here. I'm not sure what you did differently but I can say so far no go on Studio One 4. I will look into the other modes on the Atom and see what works. I appreciate your info

I've also tested here on v4.6 and have had others verify as well. I am curious as to what the issue is with your system. I'll get with you to try and troubleshoot. ATOM SQ is just a regular MIDI controller outside of Studio One 5.
