Nektar SE49 USB MIDI Keyboard Controller 49-Key

The Nektar SE49 USB MIDI Keyboard Controller is a professional-grade instrument designed to seamlessly integrate with your computer-based music setup. It features a 49-note, velocity-sensitive, full-size keyboard with a responsive synth-action keybed, providing a defined and firm feel ideal for dynamic playing, from expressive piano solos to intricate electronic modulation.

Equipped with comprehensive performance controls, the SE49 includes four programmable buttons for octave and transpose functions, a 30mm volume fader, and transport controls accessible via secondary button functions. For expanded expression, a ¼” TS jack footswitch input on the rear panel allows connection of a sustain pedal or switch for piano-style effects.

A standout feature is the included Bitwig 8-Track DAW software licence, enabling you to start producing, performing, and designing sounds professionally from day one. The controller also boasts Nektar DAW Integration, offering deep compatibility 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 SE49 is USB-class compliant and USB-powered, requiring no additional drivers for most operating systems. It is compatible with Apple iOS (using a camera connection kit), macOS, Windows from XP onwards, and Linux (Ubuntu), making it a versatile hub for any studio. With multiple velocity curves (four adjustable and three fixed), it can be tailored to match your exact playing style and sensitivity preferences.
