SonicLAB: Roto-Control From Melbourne Instruments

We take a look at the Roto-control from Melbourne Instruments, a new 8 knob MIDI controller with unique rotary encoder technology using drone motors. 
Introduced at NAMM, the controller's encoders provide a tactile haptic feedback, making them configurable in multiple ways. Traditional end stop knobs, rotary encoders, centre-dent, positive, multi-position switches.

Connectivity options include USB-C ports for power management and standard MIDI in, out and through connections. Roto-control supports Ableton Live exclusively for now, but additional DAW support is expected in future updates. Melbourne Instruments hinted at imminent updates to enhance functionalities, including Bitwig support and MIDI merge.
