Motorized MIDI controller for DAW, plug-ins and hardware
The Melbourne Instruments Roto-Control is a compact motorized MIDI controller that makes software and hardware controllable in an unusually direct way. Instead of static knobs, you get motorized knobs that automatically move into position when loading sessions, plug-ins and mappings. This creates a workflow that is not only faster, but also much more tangible. You don't just see the sound on the screen, you can feel it directly under your fingers.
The combination of haptic control, instant recall and deep DAW integration is particularly exciting. Roto-Control retrieves track names, colors and plug-in parameters directly from supported sessions, creating a way of working that feels much more immediate than classic mouse clicking.
Roto-Control bridges the gap between digital workflow and physical interaction. The eight touch-sensitive motorized controls immediately jump to the right position when switching from track to track or
This is a great advantage, especially for mixes, complex plug-in setups and hybrid rigs, because settings do not have to be blindly recreated. The controller immediately shows you where you stand.
Roto-Control works in three modes that adapt to different production situations.
In
In plug-in mode, plug-in names and parameters are adopted directly. Once assignments have been learned, the device saves them locally so that they are immediately available again later. This makes the workflow on different computers or in changing setups particularly convenient.

With the latest update, the Roto-Control now supports Cycling '74 Max directly in plug-in mode. This is particularly exciting for anyone who builds their own instruments, audio effects, MIDI tools or performance setups in Max. The motorized controllers, the Learn function and the haptic
This makes Roto-Control not only a controller for ready-made software, but also a creative interface for completely individual Max projects.
Logic Pro is now also supported in much greater depth. In Mix Mode, Roto-Control takes track names, colors and track order directly from the session and offers quick access to volume, pan, sends, mute, solo, record arm and track focus.
In plug-in mode, Logic instruments and effects can be browsed directly on the device and assigned via touch-and-learn. In addition, Smart Controls are automatically mapped and are available both in Plugin Mode and in their own Smart Mode. This makes Roto Control particularly attractive for Logic users, as many work steps can be carried out directly from the session at
A key feature of the controller is the simple Learn function. Plug-in or MIDI parameters can be adopted in just a few seconds and saved permanently on the device. The mapping can then be further refined in the Roto-Setup app.
Names, colors, haptics, min and max values, steps, MIDI notes, program changes and other parameters can be adjusted there. Setups can also be imported and exported and firmware updates can be managed directly.
In MIDI mode, Roto-Control also comes with a motion recorder. This allows movements of the motorized controllers to be recorded, looped and transferred to external
This makes the controller interesting not only for classic control tasks, but also for performative automation and lively sequence movements.
Despite its extensive possibilities, Roto-Control remains pleasantly compact and portable. With two USB-C ports,
As an added bonus, new devices now also come with a Bitwig Studio 8-track license. This makes it particularly easy to get started and provides a suitable production environment straight away.
