EVERY KNOB MOVES TO YOUR MUSIC.
Our knobs are motors. They follow your modulation and play back your automation. And you can set them to be anything: smooth, switched, ratcheted
ANALOG TOUCH. DIGITAL PRECISION.
Exact control
15-bit precision control using optical sensors.
Instant recall
Knobs snap to the exact settings of any preset.
You decide the feel
End stops, detents and switch positions, set in software.
Built to last
Motors tested 50 million times.
INSIDE THE TECH.
Every knob has its own brushless motor. Load a preset and the knobs move to meet it. Nothing in the sensing path touches anything else, so nothing wears out.
Precision-ground stainless steel shaft
Ground from solid stainless steel and carried in a die-cast alloy body. No bend, no flex, no wobble, nothing to work loose.
Three-phase direct drive
Neodymium magnets, and no gears between the motor and your fingers. Torque passes through a magnetic field rather than through contact, so nothing rubs and the knob moves the instant the sound does.
Contactless optical encoder
No disc, no wiper, nothing touching. 15-bit resolution, finer than any mechanical encoder, and nothing in the sensing path that can wear out.
HOW OUR TECH COMPARES.
Our motorized encoder against the alternatives.
| Property | Standard potentiometer | Endless encoder | MI motorized encoder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where the knob sits | Wherever you last left it, whatever the preset says | Meaningless on its own. You read the screen or the LED ring | On the value. It moves to the preset when the preset loads |
| Feel and travel | One fixed 300° sweep, whatever the parameter needs | Spins forever. Detents are mechanical, and they soften | End stops, detents and switch positions, set in software |
| How it senses | A metal wiper dragging on a carbon track | Wipers on a code disc, or a coarse optical disc | Contactless optical, at 15-bit resolution |
| How it ages | Crackle, then dead spots, because the track wears | Wipers wear and detents flatten, so the feel drifts | Nothing touches, so there is nothing to wear. Tested 50 million times |

FAQs
-
Our knobs use contactless, drone-grade motors tested over 50 million times and rated that’s 500 times more than conventional 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.
-
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.
GUARANTEED
FOR 10 YEARS.
We tested our motorized knobs over 50 million times, so we know they will feel the same in a decade as it does on day one. All motorized rotary knobs are covered by a 10-year warranty. Register your instrument and activate the cover.
