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
