I keep seeing the term "ATOMS", what do these refer to?

you could describe the atoms as higher level of programming....

while a classic developer has to start at the level of programming code (codelines).... the creamware atoms replace that level and let you plug together many different modules in a way you would do it with electrical elements...

This has many adavantages... it is more intuitive and a CW sdk developer can quickly try out different layouts for a plug-in whithout having to code low level stuff, which obviously would need much time to try out many different approaches for an audio plug-in.

In terms of developing audio tools the CW approach is really a very good one IMO.
