Bitwig and Melbourne Instruments have teamed up to create something special: the Roto-Control Bitwig Edition.

This limited collaboration pairs the innovative motorized Roto-Control surface with a Bitwig Studio license, making it the ultimate way to experience hands-on integration between hardware and software.

Designed for seamless communication with Bitwig Studio, the Roto-Control Bitwig Edition combines expressive tactile control with the creative flexibility of modern DAW workflows. It features custom Bitwig-themed keycaps and includes a Bitwig Studio Producer license or a 12-month Upgrade Plan for existing users.

Bitwig Studio

A New Way to Mix and Create

Roto-Control is a compact yet powerful controller built for producers, mixers, and performers who value touch and precision. Its motorized, touch-sensitive knobs respond dynamically to your movements, delivering a smooth, physical connection to your mix.

The controller offers three primary modes for integration and flexibility:

  • MIX Mode: Roto-Control instantly becomes a plug-and-play mixing surface for Bitwig Studio. Track names, colors, and levels appear in real time, and motorized knobs move to match the project’s state. Group tracks are fully supported, allowing easy navigation through complex sessions.
  • PLUGIN Mode: Gain direct control of Bitwig devices and third-party plug-ins. The controller automatically maps to a device’s Remote Controls, with no setup required. Users can switch between pages, remap parameters with a single touch, or even assign controls directly from a plug-in’s interface.
  • MIDI Mode: Send MIDI notes and program changes to Bitwig or other connected gear for creative flexibility across your studio setup.

A Feel Like No Other

The Roto-Control’s motorized knobs deliver authentic haptic feedback that adapts to each parameter. Turn one knob and feel a smooth sweep for a volume control, then switch to another and experience stepped resistance for precise adjustments. This tactile design bridges the gap between hardware and software, offering a uniquely realistic feel.

Once mappings are set, they are stored locally on the device, so Roto-Control remembers your settings every time Bitwig Studio is opened, even in different projects. It’s a thoughtful touch that keeps your workflow uninterrupted.
