Hi Bitwig team,
I was glad to discover that version 3.1 supports PreSonus ATOM natively. However, at the same time I found a problem - "keyboard" mode is not available - a mode where pads 1-13 are notes and pads 15-16 work as octave up/down switch. This mode is usually activate via the round setup button + lowest row pad 2. When BItwig integration takes over, this lowest row is deactivated in setup. Lack of this prevents using ATOM with virtual instruments - only drum machine is ok w/o it, everythings else - plays C2-C3 (or C1-C2?) only which is very restrictive. Let me know if I'm missing something.

Hi, sorry to bump. Anyone know if Keyboard mode is now supported in BWS 4?
Also, when using the Atom in Drum Pad mode in Bitwig, is there a way to move between different sets in the Drum Chain Scroller with the Atom (or not even using the Atom), if I click different ones, it's still only using the same base (up to) 16 pads on the Atom controller?
I'm sorry, this is probably a combination of me not knowing Bitwig particularly well, and not knowing the Atom particularly well. Feel free to tell me to go and RTFM.

Did you manage to configure it more or less? Are still using it? I was not able to extract any sound
