Description
The Bitwig Roto-Control Motorized MIDI Controller Bitwig Edition is built for producers performers and creators who want tight hands-on control of their software and hardware setups. This controller offers deep integration with Bitwig Studio across three dedicated modes that streamline mixing plug-in control and MIDI mapping. Roto-Control features motorised knobs with touch sensitivity and haptic feedback helping you recall settings instantly and adjust parameters with a clear tactile response. You also get high-resolution displays and backlit buttons that keep your session information front and centre. This Bitwig edition includes your choice of Bitwig Studio Producer for new users or a 12-month Upgrade Plan for existing users. Alongside studio use Roto-Control excels in standalone MIDI mode which supports up to 64 custom setups. You can store 128 assignable controls per setup and run the unit without a computer. The Motion Recorder adds a creative layer letting you automate and loop MIDI changes with step-based options. Direct control with Bitwig Studio integration This controller is designed to offer full control of Bitwig Studio projects through three focused modes. In MIX mode you can control track volumes and see names and colours update in real time. PLUGIN mode maps each knob and button to devices or third-party plug-ins and settings are automatically recalled when switching between sessions. MIDI mode sends standard MIDI and control change data to Bitwig or other gear expanding its use beyond the software. Each mode is clearly defined and helps you stay locked into your workflow without needing to manually remap or reconfigure your controller. Precision feedback with motorised knobs The eight motorised knobs are built with high-end brushless motors and optical sensors that provide smooth accurate movement. They are touch-sensitive so they instantly recall parameter positions as you switch between presets or software instruments. This makes them ideal for fine adjustments in both performance and production contexts. Haptic feedback adds another layer by providing a physical response to each movement giving you a clear sense of what changes you have made. Each knob is rated for over 50 million movements which adds long-term reliability to daily use in the studio or on stage. Standalone MIDI mode for full setup flexibility Outside of Bitwig Studio Roto-Control offers complete control of external gear and software through MIDI mode. You can store up to 64 custom setups with 128 assignable controls available across the knobs and buttons. The unit works without a connected computer which is useful for standalone live rigs or controlling synths and other MIDI equipment. MIDI in out and thru connections along with USB-C allow the controller to fit into a variety of gear chains. The Roto-Setup app makes it easy to back up or share your custom control layouts across multiple devices or sessions. Motion Recorder adds creative automation options The Motion Recorder feature gives you an additional tool for live modulation and parameter movement. You can record changes to up to eight parameters per setup and loop them using different playback modes such as forward backward random and ping-pong. Step lengths can be set to 16 32 48 or 64 steps allowing for both short rhythmic loops and longer evolving modulations. You can sync Motion Recorder to an internal clock or to external gear for tight integration with your full setup. This feature gives you more room to experiment with automation in real time without needing to manually draw envelopes in your software.
