Roto-Control now has a library.

The Melbourne Exchange is where the community shares their setups for the plugins and hardware they use, and new software built on our public API.

Universal Audio’s 1176s and LA-2As, SSL, Brainworx and Logic Pro. Chase Bliss, Meris and Hologram pedals. Elektron, Moog and Waldorf synths. And RotoSeq, a Max for Live sequencer made for Roto-Control.

Download a setup, import it in ROTO-SETUP, and it’s mapped.

NINA and Roto-Control are going to Knobcon

Our friends at Voltage & Company are running Booth B6 at the Hyatt Regency Schaumburg, just outside Chicago, this Friday to Sunday. Come and see NINA and Roto-Control in action and ask them the hard questions!

They are also giving a Roto-Control away - speak to them for details.

A motorized k**b is difficult to describe and instant to understand. It takes one turn. Booth B6, listed under Melbourne Instruments. Exhibits open Saturday 10 to 6 and Sunday 10 to 4.

Why we can offer 10 years.

A conventional k**b uses a potentiometer: a wiper physically dragging across a resistive track. That contact is what wears, what gets scratchy with dust, and what eventually fails.

Our k**bs measure rotation optically, with nothing touching. No friction, no wear surface, no scratchiness. We've tested them beyond 50 million cycles, which is 500 times the life of a conventional pot.

That's the whole reason we can promise they'll last 10 years.

Guaranteed to feel the same in 10 years as it does on day one.

Every motorized rotary control we've ever built is now covered for 10 years, and it's backdated to the day you bought it rather than to today. If there's a NINA, DELIA or ROTO-CONTROL in your studio right now, it already qualifies.

Our motorized rotary controls use custom contactless motors. They have less to wear out than anything else in your studio.

Registering is what activates the cover, and it takes about a minute. If you bought before 17 August 2026, you have until 17 February 2027 to do it.
