NAMM 2025: Australian manufacturer Melbourne Instruments had the synth world in a spin back in 2022 when it announced the release of Nina, a 12-voice analogue poly equipped with specially-developed motorized knobs that respond to parameter changes in real time.
This means that you're able to select a patch and Nina's knobs will instantly spin themselves into the relevant positions, or hook up an LFO to a parameter and watch the associated knob rotate all by itself as that parameter is modulated. Pretty neat, right?
