Melbourne Instruments Announces Advanced Logic Pro Integration for ROTO-CONTROL Motorized MIDI Controller
Melbourne Instruments is pleased to announce the availability of advanced Logic Pro integration for its ROTO-CONTROL motorized software and hardware MIDI controller. Building on the success of its existing integrations with Ableton Live and Bitwig Studio, this new support answers strong demand from Logic Pro users since ROTO-CONTROL launched to widespread critical acclaim one year ago.
ROTO-CONTROL features eight touch-sensitive motorized knobs driven by brushless drone motors and Melbourne Instruments' patented ultra-high-resolution, contactless optical sensors. Rated for more than 50 million cycles—approximately 500 times the lifespan of conventional potentiometers—these controls deliver precise, reliable performance and detailed haptic feedback. The controller also includes nine high-resolution IPS LCD displays and 16 backlit RGB buttons, all housed in a sleek, compact enclosure measuring 341 mm / 13.4" (W) × 112 mm / 4.4" (D) × 44 mm / 1.7" (H).
Communication is handled via MIDI over USB as well as traditional 5-pin MIDI DIN IN/OUT/THRU connections. Constructed from ABS and metal, ROTO-CONTROL weighs just 715 g / 1.58 lb, making it a robust yet highly portable production companion. Designed to encourage new and expressive ways of working with sound, ROTO-CONTROL now brings its fully tactile, motorized workflow to Logic Pro through a new firmware update—offering fast, hands-on control of tracks, plug-ins, Smart Controls, and automation.
PLUGIN mode delivers fast and powerful plug-in control, allowing users to browse and select Logic Pro instrument and effect plug-ins directly from ROTO-CONTROL. Touch-and-learn mapping makes it easy to assign any parameter, with up to eight pages of controls per plug-in stored directly on the device. Bypass and plug-in selection controls are also included, and all mappings are saved on ROTO-CONTROL itself, making them instantly available across all Logic Pro projects on any computer.
Logic Pro's Smart Controls are automatically mapped as well, providing immediate access to up to 16 Smart Control parameters. This makes ROTO-CONTROL ideal for working with instruments, macros, and MIDI effects, whether in PLUGIN mode or the dedicated SMART mode.
Beyond core control, ROTO-CONTROL allows extensive customization of labels, colors, haptics, and step behavior for each control. Integrated transport controls—including play, stop, record, cycle, auto punch, and playhead navigation—are accessible from any mode, ensuring a seamless workflow at all times.
For Logic Pro users seeking deeper interaction with their music, ROTO-CONTROL represents a compelling addition to both their creative and physical workspace. Motorized, morphing controls, instant recall, and intuitive hardware are not the end goal—but rather the starting point for a more expressive and immersive production journey.
