Bitwig Studio integration for Roto-Control
Melbourne Instruments is thrilled to announce Bitwig Studio integration for Roto-Control is now available as a part of the new 2.0 Roto-Setup Update. This adds to Roto-Control's acclaimed Ableton Live integration, and now Bitwig Studio users can take full advantage of Roto-Control features with their Bitwig projects.

The latest version adds new features including the ability to fold/unfold group tracks, navigate remote pages, automatic mapping/learning of strings & haptics and support for touch automation.

Three modes of operation

Mix Mode - Plug & play dedicated Ableton Live audio mix environment.
Automatically sync Ableton Live and Bitwig Studio Sets with all track names and colors instantly appearing on Roto-Control displays. Roto-Control will automatically update track names and colors when connected to an active DAW Set. No need to save or edit labels - all data is taken directly from the active Ableton Live or Bitwig Studio Set.

Plugin Mode
Plugin parameters and labels are taken directly from Ableton Live with one touch, one-time, intuitive easy set-up.
