Nektar SE49 49 Key USB Midi Keyboard

Perfect for musicians on the go or for a home studio set up.

The Nektar SE49 Keyboard is perfect for beginning producers and experienced producers alike.

With a synth action keybed and velocity sensitive full sized keys, no matter your playing style, the SE49 is perfect for performing artists.

With seamless DAW integration, you can input your ideas quickly and easily with the SE49 simply plug in the keyboard and away you go!

The SE49's large Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels will enhance your control over your tracks. They have a tight grip and offer just the right resistance. For piano-style sustain effects, you can connect a switch or pedal to the foot switch socket on the back of the SE49.

Four buttons and one MIDI-assignable fader to the left of the keys make the SE49 even more flexible: Shift the keyboard up or down -3/+4 octaves with multi-coloured 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 change the Octave and Transpose buttons function to send out MMC transport functions so you can activate start, stop and record directly from your keyboard.

Parameters assigned to so-called MIDI CC messages. This 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.

Simply set the MIDI Fader, Modulation Wheel or footswitch pedal to control the MIDI CC message you want. Your assignments are stored overpower cycling, so next time you can continue where you left off right away.

Nektar DAW Integration for SE49 currently supports Bitwig, Cubase, Garageband, Logic, Nuendo, Digital Performer, Mixcraft, Reason, Reaper, Sonar and Studio One. 

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