On the first day at NAMM 2025, we saw the newly released Roto-Control from Melbourne Instruments, a totally unique MIDI controller perfect for live performance. With motorised touch-sensitive knobs, customisable haptics, and hi-res labelling screens, the Roto-Control is capable of saving 8,000 assignments for total control of your rig.

We love the physical feedback in the knobs and the haptics in the buttons – it makes using the Roto-Control to control something like Ableton Live much more like playing a real hardware synth. Honeysmack (Dr David Haberfeld) is a veteran of live performance with synths, and his enthusiasm for Roto-Control is obvious and contagious!
