• Shift + Stop. Undo the last command or action.
This is not available in all software.
• Play. Starts the transport from the point of the playhead.
• Shift + Play. Enables or disables Loop.
• Record. Begins recording from the point of the
playhead. This is not available in all software.
• Shift + Record. Saves the current song. This is not available in all software.
• Metronome. Enables or disables the Metronome.
This is not available in all software.
ATOM SQ's screen functions use a paging system to accommodate many different
commands and controls. The Page Left and Page Right buttons below the
Screen Encoder will page through multiple screen commands, if available.
Power User Tip: To quickly jump back to the first page, press the mode button a
second time.
Press a screen button to select a function or enable/disable it. Use the
Screen Encoder to change the selected screen parameter value.
Instrument mode will change the screen to display functions used to control a virtual
instrument and to access the Arpeggiator Mode built into the ATOM SQ firmware.
