Nektar SE49 USB MIDI Controller Keyboard, 49-Key

The Nektar SE49 USB MIDI controller keyboard has all the features you need to start making music with your computer. It is compatible with any MIDI music software, sports a full-size keyboard with velocity, includes all the performance controls you'd expect and even has Nektar DAW control features. Simply plug the supplied USB-cable in and go. Capture your ideas while they are fresh!

Take control of your DAW's most important functions with Nektar DAW Integration software! Of course, the SE49 works with any MIDI software, but with custom Nektar DAW Integration you can do even more: Use the Transpose buttons for track or patch change, always have the currently selected track's volume assigned to the fader, and turn the Octave and Transpose buttons into Play.

SE49 has keys that are fun and expressive to play. Its synth-action keybed has 49 velocity-sensitive full-size keys, and SE49's large Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels have a tight grip and offer just the right resistance.

SE49 is even more flexible: shift the keyboard up or down -3/+4 octaves with multi-colored LED indicators showing the exact status. Or transpose the keys +/- 12 semitones with the transpose buttons right below. These buttons can easily be reassigned to switch MIDI channel, change MIDI programs or select tracks and browse patches when DAW integration is active. Better still, pressing a key combination changes the Octave and Transpose buttons to send out MMC transport functions so you can activate start,… read more stop and record directly from your keyboard.

Take control a notch further: The SE49 lets you do cool things such as changing filter cutoff, panning, effects bypass or any other parameter that has a MIDI CC assigned to it from a hardware control on your SE49.

SE49 keyboards are USB class compliant and don't require a driver to operate. Installation and connection are easy; just plug the keyboard in to a USB port on your computer. You can also connect your keyboard to an iOS device using the optional Apple USB camera connection kit. A 1/4" input jack allows you to add a footswitch pedal for sustain or sending MIDI messages.
