SE61 - USB MIDI Controller Keyboard with Nektar DAW Integration, Black

I had previously purchased an extremely cheap smaller keyboard thinking it would be good to teach myself to play. Turns out I was so very wrong, the small and awkwardly stiff keys and the simple lack of more keys wound up being extremely demotivating. Now I bought this Nektar 49 key and I immediately could tell this was the one. The build quality is pretty cheap feeling but not in a way that you'll notice while actually using it because the keys themselves feel great and theres no flexing or creeking! For being a fraction of the price for any other decent midi keyboard I cannot praise it enough, I liked it so much I bought the 61 key version which I found was the perfect size for most songs I want to play. Works great in Synthesia too as shown in the pictures!

Great keyboard . Easy set up

I use this keyboard just for Speedy Entry with the music notation software Finale. I appreciate the effectiveness of the keyboard and the lightness of it, and the price was good, but the lowest key has never worked, and for about the first thirty seconds of use every time, it is not very responsive. Otherwise, I would give it a five-star rating.

Great Keyboard, bought this for practicing so far still holds up, I use it with my iPhone, my tablet and Mac computer and works great, integrates with any software literally!. works great with MainStage and keyscape. which it could bring a pedal, but you would have to buy one additional to your purchase, but it does what it says it does and is not heavy at all, you can bring it with you anywhere.

This things great so far, especially for the price. It doesn't weigh much either.

One of the best MIDI when it comes to touch sensitivity! I have several piano sample plug-ins and having the touch sensitivity works beautifully when I have to play an actual classical piano piece. Good quality and Sweetwater was definitely the place to buy it from. Thank you for your service.

The Nextar SE61 MIDI controller ticked all the boxes for me. I was looking for an inexpensive but well playing MIDI controller to take on trips and use with my iPad for composing. The Nektar SE61 is simple but functional, easy to use, lightweight, USB powered, has a small footprint. Everything works as it should, all the keys, buttons and wheels. I find its keybed very playable - much better than I was expecting for this price point actually. I was torn between getting this controller or the Nextar GX61. I choose the SE61 because it was a little cheaper in price and delivery was expected sooner, and I don't regret the choice at all. I'm satisfied with this controller and recommend it. I'm looking for a carrying case for it now - may just make one.

The plastic feels a little cheap, but for a ~$100 usd midi keyboad it's pretty great. Full sized keys are a huge plus for my fingers, and it works easily and didn't require anything other than a DAW (no software or firmware for the keyboard itself - just plug and play) If you're just thinking about dabbling in music with a computer and you're not sure which direction you want to go or what even you are doing, this is an invaluable piece of affordable equipment that will be used even as you grow and acquire more gear. You'll always have a need for a good keyboard.

Excelente midi control. Entrega super rápida!

De lujo y a muy buen precio, excelente controlador 100% recomendado.

it just works. easy install. watch out for the transpose keys. example if accidently pressed, then when you press a key eg mid C the note thats activated is D. just keep an eye out for it and check with vst synths that have a keyboard. apart from that. its perfect for the price. 61 keys is the way to go

The product is excellent. Exactly the size I wanted, control features are all simple & user friendly, the keys are all fine and compatible in all the devices. Grateful to Nektar company. For those who are planning to buy highly recommended. You'll never regret and it's afforadble.
