Roto-Control revolutionises music production with its motorised MIDI controller that combines touch-sensitive knobs, high-resolution displays, and intuitive haptic feedback for unprecedented precision. This innovative device offers three distinct operational modes—MIX, PLUGIN, and MIDI—each specifically designed for different aspects of music production and live performance. MIX mode provides seamless plug-and-play integration with Ableton Live, automatically syncing track names and colours for streamlined workflow management.
The standout Motion Recorder feature brings motorised automation to external hardware and software, allowing users to record and loop parameter movements for expressive modulation and dynamic variation during performances. PLUGIN mode enables intuitive control over plugin parameters with automatic recall functionality, removing the need for manual mapping, while MIDI mode opens creative possibilities for controlling DAWs, synthesisers, lighting setups, and other MIDI-compatible equipment.
Built with premium components including ultra-responsive knobs powered by brushless drone motors, Roto-Control offers lifetime durability that surpasses traditional controllers. The compact design features robust metal construction and interchangeable MX-compatible buttons, making it ideal for both touring musicians and studio professionals. Comprehensive connectivity options include MIDI over USB, 5-pin DIN, and dual USB-C ports for effortless integration into any production setup.
