Melbourne Instruments
Innovative Synthesizer & Controller from Australia
Melbourne Instruments was founded in 2019 in Melbourne, Australia, making it one of the younger manufacturers in the world of electronic musical instruments. The company combines modern technologies with a consistent hands-on approach. Its goal is to make complex functions as direct and intuitive as possible — with hardware that feels like a real instrument when producing and designing sounds.
Known for motorised knobs
A distinctive hallmark of Melbourne Instruments are the motorised rotary knobs. They can automatically move to stored parameter positions, combining the advantages of digital recall with the immediate feel of classic hardware. Contactless optical sensors and configurable haptic feedback enable precise and immediate control.
Melbourne Instruments attracted attention with the NINA, a twelve-voice analogue polyphonic synthesizer with a motorised control concept.
With DELIA another synthesizer followed, while the ROTO-CONTROL transfers the manufacturer's technology into the world of DAWs, plugins and MIDI setups.
Melbourne Instruments is therefore aimed at musicians, producers and sound designers who want to use modern possibilities without having to give up direct control with physical knobs.
