This project provides basic support for using the Atom SQ as a MIDI controller in Bitwig. The aim is not to provide the same user interface or experience as when running Atom SQ with the natively supported DAWs, but rather to make the Atom SQ useful in Bitwig.
Download the latest version here:

The archive contains a bwextension file. Put that file in your Bitwig extensions directory. For more information, read here:
https://www.bitwig.com/support/technical_support/how-do-i-add-a-controller-extension-or-script-17/.
- Configure your Atom SQ to run in MIDI mode. The procedure is described in the section "Standard Controller Mode" in the Atom SQ manual.
- Check your settings for "Controllers" in Bitwig. If auto-detection has worked the Atom SQ should exist as a configured controller device named "PreSonus Atom SQ (MIDI mode)". Auto-detection may currently fail on Linux and Mac (please send me the correct port names!). If so, you may still add the controller manually.
- The Atom SQ controller exposes some configuration options for the arrow buttons, either with specific behaviour or as MIDI CC buttons.
No beer required (I brew my own), and the extension is free. But do consider subscribing to my channel on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4cKvJ4hia7zULxeCc-7OcQ) if you feel like making me happy.
I have a video on youtube where I show the Atom SQ running with the extension. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tkbS1fb4LE
You can reach me (the developer and first user of the extension) at alt.key.project@gmail.com.
