NEKTAR SE25 USB MIDI Keyboard Controller

The NEKTAR SE25 USB MIDI Keyboard Controller is the ultimate portable solution for musicians, producers, and hobbyists. Designed to be as compact as a laptop, it fits easily into any backpack, making it perfect for creating music on the move. This 25-note controller features a velocity-sensitive mini-keybed that provides a defined, firm feel despite its small size, allowing for expressive playing. You can tailor the keyboard's response to your personal style with a choice of three velocity curves: default, soft, and hard.

Essential performance controls are shrunk and positioned right at your fingertips. These include dedicated buttons for Octave Up/Down, Pitch Bend (PB1/PB2), Sustain, and a versatile Part2 button. The PB1 and PB2 buttons are fully assignable to functions like Pitch Bend, Transpose, Volume, Pan, Track, or Patch change. Meanwhile, the Part Two button can be assigned to Octave, MIDI Channel, Transpose, Layer, and Latch (momentary). The 'S' button is assignable to Sustain or Modulation, and transport control is accessible via a secondary button function.

A standout feature is the Nektar DAW Integration, which offers seamless control and enhanced workflow with popular Digital Audio Workstations including Bitwig, Cubase, GarageBand, Logic Pro, Nuendo, Digital Performer, FL Studio, Mixcraft, Reason, Reaper, Sonar, and Studio One. The controller is universally compatible, working with any DAW or MIDI music software on OS X, Windows, and Apple iOS (with a camera connection kit). It is USB-class compliant, requiring no drivers for Apple iOS, OS X, Windows XP or higher, and Linux, making setup instant and hassle-free.

Powered entirely via its Micro USB port, the SE25 keeps your mobile setup clean and simple. With its robust construction and thoughtful design, it is an indispensable tool for audio production, education, and professional music creation.
