video upload by Cycling '74

"We are excited to announce that Melbourne Instruments’ Roto-Control now integrates natively with Max, giving you a powerful tactile interface for building and performing with your Max patches.

With Max supported directly in PLUGIN Mode, Roto-Control can control custom instruments, audio effects, MIDI processors, and performance tools created in Max. Motorized knobs, touch-and-learn mapping, and haptic feedback make it easy to map parameters, recall states, and interact physically with your patches.

This setup guide walks through how to install the Roto-Control package in the Max Package Manager and connect the hardware so you can start controlling your patches right away.

Melbourne Instruments announces advanced Logic Pro integration for ROTO-CONTROL

video upload by Melbourne Instruments

Roto-Control (Review): A Logic Pro Controller I Actually Want to Use

video upload by Why Logic Pro Rules

"I was skeptical when ‪@melbourneinstruments‬ sent me Roto-Control for Logic Pro. I've owned plenty of MIDI controllers that ended up collecting dust. But after using this for the past month, I actually reach for it.

What makes it different? Eight fully motorized control knobs with haptic feedback that adapt to whatever you're focused on in Logic Pro. You don't just see parameters change on screen - you FEEL them. End stops on a filter cutoff, notches on discrete values, center indents for faders, pans, and more.

In this review, I walk through the Logic Pro integration, the haptic feedback system, and what it's actually like to use day-to-day. I also cover the real limitations - manual plugin mapping and limited storage - that you need to know before buying."

Press release follows:

Melbourne Instruments announces advanced Logic Pro integration for ROTO-CONTROL motorised software and hardware MIDI controller

MELBOURNE, VIC, AUSTRALIA: Melbourne Instruments is proud to announce availability of advanced Logic Pro integration for its ROTO-CONTROL motorised software and hardware MIDI controller — creatively expanding upon its successful integration with Ableton Live and Bitwig Studio, demand for integration with Apple’s popular professional DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) for Mac having been strong since said controller launched to widespread critical acclaim a year ago — as of January 15, 2026…

ROTO-CONTROL readily packs eight touch-sensitive motorised knobs — brushless drone motors with Melbourne Instruments’ patented ultra-high-resolution contactless optical sensors offering a lifetime rating in excess of 50 million cycles that equates to 500 times more than conventional pots, precisely — alongside nine high-resolution IPS (In-Plane Switching) LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays) and 16 backlit RGB (Red, Green, Blue) LED (Light-Emitting Diode) buttons into its classy, compact — 341mm/13.4” (W) x 112mm/4.4” (D) x 44mm/1.7” (H) — form factor to duly deliver haptic feedback and instant parameter recall, communicating with the outside world via MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) over USB (Universal Serial Bus) and 5-pin MIDI DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) IN/OUT/THRU connections. Constructed out of ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) and metal, it robustly weighs in at only 715g/1.58lb, making it the perfect portable production partner for encouraging artists to use sound and music in new and exciting ways — wherever their journey might end up taking them, both creatively and geographically. Get this, though: ROTO-CONTROL now introduces a fully-tactile, motorised workflow to Logic Pro, delivering fast, hands-on control of tracks, plug-ins, Smart Controls, and automation — all thanks to a new firmware update.

MIX mode mirrors Logic Pro’s session track names, colours, and order automatically, while providing high-resolution control of volume, pan, sends, and automation alongside instant access to track selection, paging, mute/solo/arm switching, and dedicated TRACK FOCUS.

Fast, powerful plug-in control comes courtesy of PLUGIN mode, allowing users to browse and select Logic Pro instrument and effect plug-ins instantly from ROTO-CONTROL using simple touch-and-learn mapping for any parameter, with up to eight pages of controls per plug-in stored directly on the device ready for any projects, plus bypass/select controls — all mappings being saved on ROTO-CONTROL and usable across all Logic Pro projects on any computer.

Cutting-edge control continues with Logic Pro’s Smart Controls being automatically mapped to ROTO-CONTROL, controlling up to 16 Smart Control parameters instantly — perfect for working with instruments, macros, and MIDI effects, available in both PLUGIN mode and the dedicated SMART mode itself.

And as if all that was not enough to be getting on with, ROTO-CONTROL can be used to customise labels, colours, haptics, and steps for each control, while integrated transport — play, stop, record, cycle, auto-punch, and playhead — controls are all accessible from any mode.

It is fair to say, then, that Logic Pro users owe it to themselves — and, ultimately, their sound and music — to consider making some space in their creative and physical world for ROTO-CONTROL. After all, motorised and morphing controls, instant recall, and intuitive hardware are only the beginning of their journeying.

ROTO-CONTROL is available to buy at its new North American price of $399.00 USD (excluding tax) in the USA and Canada, while its RRP (Recommended Retail Price) in Australia of $619.00 AU (including GST) and MSRP (Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price) in the EU of €372.35 EUR (excluding VAT), MSRP in Japan/Asia of $469.00 USD, and MSRP in the UK of £389.00 GBP remains unchanged — all via Melbourne Instruments’ growing global network of dealers here: https://www.melbourneinstruments.com/dealers [check with dealers on the right here on MATRIXSYNTH]

DELIA Macro Oscillator Mode Update Melbourne Instruments Hybrid Analog Polysynth

video upload by Melbourne Instruments

"Introducing the powerful new Macro Oscillator Mode firmware update for DELIA, Melbourne Instruments' motorized hybrid polysynth. This major enhancement adds 45 synthesis waveform models using open-source code from Émilie Gillet’s Mutable Instruments Braids, one of the most celebrated Eurorack synth modules.

This new mode dramatically expands Delia’s sonic capabilities, unlocking a new world of synthesis, from classic analog textures to cutting-edge digital experimentation. Powered by Delia’s innovative architecture, the new Macro Oscillator Mode delivers an incredibly versatile hands-on sound design experience unlike any other.

This video demonstrates just some of the 50 new presets, exploring the sonic possibilities of the new Macro Oscillator.

Each waveform model is shaped by two expressive parameters, Timbre and Color, adapted from the original Braids module. These controls affect multiple tonal dimensions simultaneously, producing evolving, complex, and musically responsive sounds.

Macro Oscillator Mode introduces a diverse palette of waveform types, including:
• classic analog VCO emulation
• additive and digital synthesis
• vowel/formant synthesis
• 2-operator FM
• simulation of string and wind instruments
• wavetable synthesis with smooth XY interpolation
• filtered/colored/pitched noise
• granular synthesis
• electronic drum sound simulation

Crawling Toward The Sun by Mike Wallace Featuring the Melbourne Instruments Delia Synthesizer

"Recorded, mixed and mastered by Mike Wallace in 2025, made solely on the Melbourne Instruments Delia synthesizer.

Rooted from a seed, destined to withstand the climb
What started as photosynthetic dreams began the ticking of time.
Slowly sprouting before ones eyes, the journey seemed too far.
The heat of the day caused blooming at night, coloring the sky with stars.

The joy of life was short-lived, as the sky began to mud
In a flash of light, the day went dim and soiled the ground with flood.
Time slows down when rain from heaven finds the plant off guard
The aftermath of lessons in life grows petals back twice as hard
Forced to remain resilient and calm. the plant now moves with ease.
The rain from summer turns frozen for winter-like icicles melting through trees.
With droplets of water penetrating the soil, the ticking of time has begun.
The day is fresh, a now journey awaits, as the plant crawl's back toward the sun.
