Introducing the Roto-Control Bitwig Edition
We’re excited to announce the Roto-Control Bitwig Edition, a collaboration between Melbourne Instruments and Bitwig. This special version of the revolutionary motorized controller features a custom Bitwig-inspired design and includes a Bitwig software license. It’s the best way to explore Roto-Control’s integration with Bitwig Studio – its deepest with any DAW.
The Roto-Control Bitwig Edition comes with a Bitwig Studio Producer license or a 12-Month Upgrade Plan (for existing Bitwig users).
Roto-Control is a powerful, compact controller for hands-on mixing, plug-in control, and performance. Its touch-sensitive motorized knobs bring a rich tactile experience to your projects. MIDI mode allows you to send MIDI notes and program changes to Bitwig Studio (or other hardware or software), while two further modes offer deeper integration with your Bitwig projects.
In MIX mode, Roto-Control becomes a plug-and-play Bitwig Studio mixing interface. Your project’s track names, colors, and levels will be automatically displayed and updated in real time – there's no need to save or edit labels in the device. Adjustments made on the controller are reflected instantly in your project, while the motorized knobs provide physical feedback for parameters such as volume. The integration extends to group tracks, letting you navigate complex mixes without manual setup.
PLUGIN mode gives you hands-on control of Bitwig’s devices and third-party plug-ins. The Roto-Control automatically maps to a device’s Remote Controls, so you can start tweaking without mapping anything at all, and can jump between pages directly from the interface. When you want to map parameters, it takes a single touch, and the Roto-Control will pull names and values directly from Bitwig Studio. You can even select parameters to map directly from a plug-in’s GUI.
The Roto-Control’s motorized knobs give haptic feedback that changes depending on the parameter they are controlling. A knob might twist smoothly up to its maximum value, or offer discrete steps with resistance in between (for a button, for example). The result is an uncanny hardware-like experience with every device you control in PLUGIN mode. Once mapped, parameters are stored locally on the device, so Roto-Control will remember the mappings the next time you open Bitwig, even if you're in a different project file.
The Roto-Control Bitwig Edition features custom Bitwig-colored keycaps and includes a Bitwig software license of your choice (Bitwig Studio Producer or a 12-month Upgrade Plan). Each unit also includes a power supply and USB-C cable, a protective carry bag and cable tie, and a Quick Start Guide.
The Roto-Control Bitwig Edition is available in limited quantities through our webshop for customers in the US, EU, and UK.
