Melbourne Instruments

Melbourne Instruments builds hybrid synthesizers and state of the art midi controllers that bring analogue warmth and tactile playability together with modern digital recall and automation. Their core innovation is a motorised control system that combines brushless motors and high-resolution sensing to deliver precise, hands-on parameter control, instant patch recall and long-lived reliability.

The company’s flagship polysynth, NINA, is a 12-voice, multi-timbral analogue/digital instrument designed as a next-generation groovebox. NINA pairs discrete analogue oscillators and ladder filtering with digital wavetables, an extensive modulation matrix, and a 4-part polyphonic sequencer — all accessible from a motorised front panel that snaps to saved parameter states for fast sound design and live performance.

DELIA extends the same motorised-morphing philosophy into a bi-timbral format, combining modelled virtual-analog oscillators with true analogue filters, phrase looping and an expansive modulation architecture. DELIA emphasises timbral morphing (A/B patch morphing), deep sequencing/phrase overdubbing and unlimited modulation routing to offer a wide sonic variety from a compact unit.

For users who want motorised control without an integrated synth engine, the ROTO-CONTROL is a compact motorised MIDI/DAW controller with MIX, PLUGIN and MIDI modes plus a Motion Recorder for capturing automation. It integrates tightly with popular DAWs, offers one-touch learn and on-device memory for setups, and ships with an accompanying ROTO-SETUP app for deep customisation.
