PreSonusATOM SQ Hybrid MIDI Keyboard/Pad Performance and Production Controller with Studio One Artist and Ableton Live Lite DAW Recording Software

Q: I already own studio one 4 pro, is there a way to buy this for less without the software?

Buy from Amazon warehouse... It most likely won't have software(already registered software).

Q: Is there like a cross fade between pads? I wnt to try to use this for my worship team at my church.

No. I am not sure how you are trying to use this. But if you are triggering songs, you will still need a way of controlling the volume. I assume you would be running this through a mixer. So my recommendation is to use your outboard mixer to fade in and out. If you are determined to use this that way, you could also just edit your songs for a fade out.

Q: Can you program the pads to work without a computer?

This is a computer peripheral. Not a standalone unit.

Q: Does this product come with a downloadable link to Studio One artist or is it the box like the picture shows?

The ATOM just comes with the unit, a cable, and a basic instruction manual. What you should do is register with PreSonus after purchase. When you create your account, you'll get a downloadable link to Studio One Artist and additional content. Head's up - in total, there is around 7GB worth of software & content to download. IF you plan to use the Studio One Artist software, I think you'll find everything that you need to get started there (though I have not tried it personally. I downloaded all of the software, but haven't really used it much at all, as I'm a Cubase 10 Pro owner). From videos I've watched, and the little bit I've read, the promoted software looks interesting, but if you're already using something more serious, like Cakewalk, Cubase, ProTools or whatever, I'd say don't even waste your time with the downloads, other than the ATOM driver (I think that was one of the downloads...). In my setup, I'm just using the ATOM as a straight pad controller, and the only buttons that matter to me are the 4x4 big ones in the center of the unit. I may find more use later, but for now, this is just a perfect hardware extension for me to play my Groove Agent drum sounds from, as it perfectly matches the Groove Agent on screen GUI.
