Revolutionary
Motorized Knobs
Analog Touch,
Digital Precision
Ultra-precise Control
Our custom-designed brushless and contactless drone-grade motors use optical sensors for 15-bit precision control. Far more accurate than traditional pots or LED rings. Experience control like never before.
Instant Recall
Recall sounds or change parameters and the knobs will snap to the exact settings and position. Connect with your sound instantly, feel confident to take control without the guesswork.
You Decide the Feel
With customizable haptic feedback, you decide how the knobs feel and behave. Shift between smooth, stepped, or multi-position switch for ultimate control.
Extreme Durability
Our motorized controls have a lifespan in excess of 50 million cycles, 500 hundred times more than the average pot. They’ll literally last a lifetime.
Why Motorized knobs?
Our motorized control unlocks a modern creative workflow — merging the flexibility of software with the feel of classic hardware. Our adaptive technology puts real-time, tactile control and instant recall with digital precision at your fingertips. No screens. No guesswork. Just instant visual feedback in a sleek, compact form. See it, touch it, feel your sound.
Motorized knobs and controls bridge the gap between creator and machine — making music faster, sharper, and a far more interactive experience.
Morphing, Modulation and more
Both NINA and DELIA feature a ‘MORPH’ knob that acts as a real-time macro control, moving every knob and parameter as you sweep between different timbres. This means the front panel is always in the correct position and you’re always in total control.
In Modulation Mode all source-to-destination settings are recallable, meaning you’ll never lose track of even the most complex modulations. You can even reverse engineer sound design by viewing exactly how the presets have been crafted and combined across both the front panel and the modulation matrix.
Motorization also aids multi-timbral operation, meaning that as you move across tracks or layers every control snaps to the correct position, making it possible to manipulate sounds with complete confidence that you’ll never experience unexpected results when adjusting the cutoff or any other control.
The benefits of motorized controls extend far beyond instant recall
Motorized Technology: FAQs
-
Our knobs use contactless, drone-grade motors rated for over 50 million turns—that’s 500× more than traditional pots. They are literally built to last a lifetime
-
Our 15-bit motorized knobs deliver ultra-precise, 16,000-step resolution you can feel. LEDs and light rings only show an approximate position — they can’t match our ultra precision and recall ability.
-
Definitely not. Motorized knobs solve the age-old problem of instant, accurate patch recall — no screens needed. Plus, with haptic feedback and automatable control, you can literally see and feel your sound for an unprecedented level of control.
-
Motorized tech is not new, but recent advancements in technology have made it far more useful and flexible. High-speed drone motors and ultra-precise optical sensors allow for faster, smaller, and far more reliable and affordable control than ever before.
We’ve re-engineered it specifically for modern music makers and audio professionals.
