Melbourne Instruments Roto-Control MIDI Controller Bitwig Edition

The Melbourne Instruments Roto-Control MIDI Controller Bitwig Edition is a compact, premium motorised controller designed to put Bitwig Studio right under your fingertips. With eight touch-sensitive motor-driven knobs, high-resolution displays and deep, bespoke Bitwig integration, it gives you immediate, tactile control of your mixes, devices and plug-ins. This special Bitwig edition also includes a Bitwig software licence of your choice, making it a powerful centrepiece for both new and existing Bitwig users.

At the heart of Roto-Control are its brushless motorised knobs with adaptive haptic feedback, letting you feel every parameter move as you tweak your projects. Track names, colours and levels are mirrored on the crisp LCD screens, while the backlit buttons in Bitwig orange keep your most important functions clearly visible in any environment. Whether you are sculpting sounds, riding faders or automating performance moves, Roto-Control keeps you focused on the music rather than the mouse.

Three dedicated modes unlock tight integration with Bitwig Studio. MIX mode turns Roto-Control into a hands-on mixer, PLUGIN mode gives you instant control over Bitwig devices and third-party plug-ins, and MIDI mode lets you send MIDI and CC data to software and hardware, complete with a Motion Recorder for capturing expressive parameter moves. Wherever you are in your workflow, there is a mode that keeps you connected to your sound.

Built to excel in the studio, on stage or on the move, Roto-Control combines a sturdy, compact chassis with flexible connectivity, including dual USB-C ports and traditional 5-pin MIDI in, out and thru. The included Bitwig licence (Bitwig Studio Producer or a 12-month Upgrade Plan) means you can dive straight into a modern, modular DAW environment that is ready to take full advantage of everything this controller can do.

Deep Bitwig Studio Integration

Roto-Control Bitwig Edition has been designed from the ground up to work hand in hand with Bitwig Studio. With three specialised modes that automatically map to your projects, you get instant access to tracks, devices and plug-ins without manual setup. This tight integration keeps your workflow fast and musical, so you can stay in the creative zone.

Motorised Knobs with Haptic Feedback

The eight touch-sensitive motorised knobs provide a premium tactile experience, snapping to the correct values as you switch parameters and projects. Adaptive haptic feedback lets you feel resistance, notches and movements under your fingers, giving you a more intuitive sense of each control and making detailed automation and sound design feel natural.

Compact, Performance-Ready Design

With its small footprint, robust build and clear visual feedback from nine high-resolution LCD displays and 16 RGB backlit buttons, Roto-Control is equally at home on a studio desk or in a live rig. The layout keeps essential controls within easy reach, helping you react quickly during performances and sessions.

Includes Bitwig Software Licence

This special Bitwig edition includes a Bitwig software licence of your choice, so you can either step into the Bitwig ecosystem with Bitwig Studio Producer or keep your existing setup current with a 12-month Upgrade Plan. It is a complete package that pairs cutting-edge hardware control with powerful, modern music production software.
