Roto-Control brings their revolutionary motorized technology into a controller that allows you to control your DAW, plugin instruments and MIDI hardware like never before. Rethink all of your software and hardware interactions via fully assignable, motorized, touch-sensitive knobs, user definable haptics for detailed control, high-res screens providing easy-to-read labels for every control, and internal memory with storage for over 16,000 possible assignments.

You may have seen a motorized controller before but you have never seen one like this! Imagine each motorized knob automatically adapting to the parameter you are controlling. Whether you're adjusting a value with specific steps (like a 0-10 range), or a simple on/off setting, each knob changes its behaviour to match. For stepped parameters, the knobs 'click' through each value, while for continuous settings, they smoothly rotate. For parameters with a fixed range, the knobs provide a tactile 'end stop' at both extremes, giving you total precision!

Roto-Control redefines what a control surface should be capable of!
