Melbourne Instruments ROTO-CONTROL DAW and MIDI Controller

The Melbourne Instruments ROTO-CONTROL is a unique motorized MIDI controller, unlike anything seen before. Rethink software and hardware interactions via fully assignable motorized touch-sensitive knobs, user definable haptics for detailed control, high-res screens providing easy-to-read labels for every control, and internal memory with storage for over 16,000 possible assignments. Powerful, compact, and portable, ROTO-CONTROL features three main modes of operation: MIX, PLUGIN and MIDI with Motion Recorder.

LOGIC PRO INTEGRATION FOR ROTO-CONTROL

Advanced Logic Pro integration for ROTO-CONTROL has arrived, expanding on the recent implementation of Ableton Live and Bitwig Studio support. ROTO-CONTROL introduces a fully tactile, motorized controller for Logic Pro users, delivering fast, hands-on control of tracks, plugins, smart controls and automation. MIX Mode mirrors Logic Pro's session track names, colors and order, while providing high-resolution control of volume, pan, sends, and instant access to mute, solo, record-arm and track focus. PLUGIN Mode allows users to browse and select Logic Pro instruments and effects directly from ROTO-CONTROL. Parameters can be mapped instantly using touch-and-learn, with up to eight pages of controls stored on the device ready for any project. Smart Controls are automatically mapped, offering up to 16 parameters available in both PLUGIN Mode and the dedicated SMART Mode.

MIX MODE

Plug and play digital audio workstation (DAW) mix environment. Automatically sync Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio and Logic Pro sessions with all track names and colors instantly appearing on ROTO-CONTROL displays. ROTO-CONTROL will automatically update track names and colors when connected to an active DAW session. No need to save or edit labels – all data is taken directly from the active session. Unlimited number of tracks can be controlled in Mix Mode, with support for group tracks which can be opened and closed via ROTO-CONTROL.

PLUGIN MODE

Plugin parameters and labels are taken directly from Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio and Logic Pro with one touch, one-time, intuitive easy set-up. Learn plug-in parameters once and ROTO-CONTROL will remember mapped parameters anytime you use Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio or Logic Pro. All learnt plugin parameters are stored locally on ROTO-CONTROL, making it quick and easy to use ROTO-CONTROL with any computer setup.

MIX and PLUGIN Modes complement each other with fast intuitive switching between modes. Both modes include full suite of Ableton Live, Bitwig Studio and Logic Pro transport controls.
