MELBOURNE INSTRUMENTS Roto-Control Motorized MIDI Controller

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 over 8000 possible assignments make it one of the most powerful and versatile controllers available.

Roto-Control functions as a plug-and-play Ableton Live mixer, automatically syncing with your Live Set. Track names and colors appear instantly on Roto-Control's high-res displays, dynamically updating as you navigate your session�no manual label editing required. The touch-sensitive motorized knobs adjust to match track levels in real time, offering a true tactile mixing experience that mirrors your DAW.

Gain immediate, hands-on control over Ableton Live plug-ins with Roto-Control's one-time learning system. Simply touch a parameter, and Roto-Control remembers it forever, storing all assignments internally. This means your plug-in mappings stay with the controller, ready for use on any computer without the need for reconfiguration. Switch between Mix and Plug-In Mode effortlessly, with dedicated Ableton Live transport controls for smooth workflow integration.

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.
