This strikingly sleek keyboard controller is as feature-packed as it is portable. Featuring 61 velocity-sensitive full-size keys, four velocity curves, and a fader with a full complement of assignable buttons, the SE61 gives you customizable control over your virtual instruments and DAW. A 1\/4-inch TS jack footswitch input lets you connect a pedal for even more MIDI control options.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKeys Designed for Great Response\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nNektar knows that the keys on a keyboard are one of its most important features, which is why countless hours of research and design went into the velocity-sensitive, full-size keys on the SE61. These keys respond beautifully with a firm feel and great rebound. Four different velocity curves allow you to tailor the keyboard response to your unique playing style, resulting in a comfortable and expressive playing experience as you explore virtual instruments.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eEasy-to-Use Controls\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nPitch bend and modulation wheels, four buttons, and a MIDI-assignable fader to the left of the keys provide extensive customizable control. You can adjust octaves up or down by -3\/+4 with multicolored LED indicators that clearly show octave status, or transpose the keys by ±12 semitones. These buttons can also be reassigned to switch MIDI channels, change MIDI programs, select tracks, or browse patches when DAW integration is active. You can even assign the fader, modulation wheel, or footswitch pedal to control any MIDI CC message, with assignments stored after power-off for seamless workflow continuity.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eHands-on DAW Control and Software\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nDownload Nektar’s DAW integration software to control DAW transport functions and track selection directly from the SE61, reducing reliance on your mouse or trackpad. The SE61 also includes Bitwig Studio 8-Track, featuring over 50 software instruments and effects. Whether you are just getting started with MIDI and DAW integration or are a seasoned producer, the SE61 offers powerful tools to enhance your creative workflow.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat Nektar Says...\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePlug In and Play\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nektar SE49 and SE61 USB MIDI controller keyboards give you everything you need to start making music with your computer right away. Compatible with any MIDI music software, the SE Series features a full-size, velocity-sensitive keyboard, essential performance controls, and Nektar DAW integration. Simply plug in the included USB cable and start capturing your ideas the moment inspiration strikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePlay\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe keys are the most important part of any keyboard controller, and the SE Series delivers a fun and expressive playing experience. The synth-action keybeds feature 49 or 61 velocity-sensitive full-size keys with a defined, firm feel. To suit different playing styles, the SE models offer four adjustable velocity curves plus three fixed options, allowing you to fine-tune the response to your personal preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eControl\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour buttons and a MIDI-assignable fader located to the left of the keys make the SE MIDI controllers highly flexible. Octave shifting from -3 to +4 is clearly displayed via multi-colored LED indicators, while transpose buttons allow key changes of up to ±12 semitones. When DAW integration is active, these buttons can be reassigned to switch MIDI channels, change programs, select tracks, or browse patches. With a simple key combination, the octave and transpose buttons can even trigger MMC transport functions such as play, stop, and record directly from the keyboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCustom MIDI Assignments\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake control even further with custom MIDI CC assignments. Many software and hardware instruments use MIDI CC messages to control parameters such as filter cutoff, panning, and effects. You can assign the MIDI fader, modulation wheel, or footswitch pedal to any MIDI CC message you choose. All assignments are stored internally, so your setup is instantly recalled when you power the keyboard back on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eControl Your DAW\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNektar DAW Integration software provides hands-on control of your DAW’s most important functions, including transport control, level mixing, and track selection. While the SE controllers work with any MIDI software, DAW integration unlocks deeper functionality such as automatic fader assignment to the selected track and transport control using the octave and transpose buttons. Supported DAWs include Bitwig, Cubase, GarageBand, Logic, Nuendo, Digital Performer, Mixcraft, Reason, Reaper, Sonar, and Studio One.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSimple Setup \u0026amp; iOS Compatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SE MIDI controller keyboards are USB class compliant and require no drivers. Setup is as easy as plugging the keyboard into a USB port on your computer. The SE49 and SE61 can also be connected to Apple iOS devices using an optional camera connection kit. A 1\/4\" input jack allows connection of a footswitch pedal for sustain or MIDI message control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eCapture Your Ideas – Bitwig 8-Track Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded with the SE controllers is Bitwig 8-Track DAW, featuring over 50 software instruments and effects and support for up to 8 audio or MIDI tracks.
