Hey I just bought the Presonus Atom and im not sure how i feel about it. I’ve added a video where i highlight the problem im having.
A lot of the time im getting double triggered on the high hat (As seen in the beginning) Meanwhile i also have a lot of issue of getting the kick drum reliably activated with my thumb. Is it just because i am a newb or is this a reocurring issue with the Atom? I’m thinking of just sending it back and getting a pad that is a lot lighter sensitivity wise since i feel like i really have to smack the damn thing for reliable hits.
Any recommendations for a pad that is a bit more sensitive?
BTW: Im a lefty so i’ve changed the layout according to what matthijs said.

The pads of the atom should respond the same way, but it is true that the pads respond better when you hit them in a certain spot on the pads themselves (so middle or sides or top or bottom). Is that the case with you as well?
EDIT: I made some comment about pressure treshold, but that’s incorrect…
That said, the Atom is the best controller for $150, but it’s a lot less good than the Maschine mikro mk3 ($250) or the Nektar Aura (which i literally tested two days ago and costs $350).
So if all of the above does not help, spending some more will give you more responsiveness for sure!
Oops, ignore that comment about pressure treshold… thats incorrect.
do you have a review of the Aura somewhere. I know this one will work with iPad Pro, but would like to know if it can be remapped to suite QFG mapping.
