MELBOURNE INSTRUMENTS Roto-Control Motorized MIDI Controller
Redefine hands-on control with the Melbourne Instruments Roto-Control, a uniquely powerful motorized MIDI controller that seamlessly bridges software and hardware workflows. Featuring 8 touch-sensitive motorized knobs, 9 high-resolution LCD screens, and 16 RGB backlit buttons, Roto-Control delivers an intuitive, dynamic workflow with real-time visual feedback. Its fully assignable controls, user-definable haptics, and internal storage for thousands of assignments make it one of the most versatile controllers available.

Roto-Control now offers native integration with Ableton Live, Logic Pro and Bitwig Studio—as well as native integration with Cycling '74 Max, providing tactile workflows across these popular DAWs and programming environments.

Modes of Operation
Mix Mode: Hands-On Mixing for Live, Logic, and Bitwig
In Mix Mode, Roto-Control becomes a plug-and-play mixer for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, and Bitwig Studio. Track names, colors, and levels automatically sync to the controller's displays, updating as you navigate your session—no manual labeling required.

Touch-sensitive motorized knobs precisely mirror track parameters including volume, pan, sends, and automation, offering a tactile mixing experience that feels like a full-featured surface controller. Mix Mode also features a 0 dB center indent on volume controls, providing precise tactile reference when balancing levels. Dedicated transport controls keep workflow smooth across all three DAWs.

Plug-In Mode: Intelligent Parameter Mapping
Get immediate control over plug-in parameters in Ableton Live, Logic Pro, or Bitwig Studio with Roto-Control's intuitive one-touch learn system. Simply touch a parameter once, and Roto-Control stores the assignment internally—ready for use on any computer without reconfiguration.

The high-resolution LCDs update in real time, reflecting parameter names and values for fast, confident tweaking.

Smart Mode: Native Logic Pro Smart Controls
Exclusive to Logic Pro, Smart Mode builds on basic plug-in control by mirroring Logic's Smart Controls, allowing unified access to instrument and effect macros. This provides up to 16 mapped parameters per device, instantly shown on Roto-Control's displays.
MIDI Mode with Motion Recorder: Ultimate Standalone Control
Go beyond DAWs and control hardware synths, drum machines, lighting rigs, media applications, and any MIDI-compatible gear. With standalone MIDI In, Out, and Thru functionality, Roto-Control doesn't need a computer to function. Store up to 64 MIDI Setups, each with up to 64 control assignments (32 knobs, 32 buttons), and customize them via the Roto-Setup app.
Motion Recorder: Automate External Gear
Roto-Control brings motorized automation to hardware with its unique Motion Recorder feature. Record and loop up to 8 MIDI parameters per setup, applying automation to synth filters, effect parameters, or even lighting controls. With step-based sequencing (16, 32, 48, or 64 steps) and multiple playback modes (forward, backward, random, ping-pong), Motion Recorder unlocks new creative possibilities for performance and production.
