Nektar SE61 USB MIDI Controller Keyboard with Nektar DAW Integration

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

Solid build with decent size keys, works well with standalone apps or with a Daw

Feels a bit flimsy, but otherwise smooth. Mostly what I expected. Doesn't have a port for expression pedal.

I bought this keyboard as the last one I bought didn't work properly in Cubase. I was grateful and relieved that this one did.

I bought this to replace a midi keyboard which had not passed compatibility testing with the latest OS update, and had stopped working. This Nektar keyboard is great, and works faultlessly. As a heads up, the keys are not weighted and you will need to purchase a sustain pedal separately (my old MAudio sustain works without issue) but considering the low cost it has surpassed my expectations.

I've had this now for almost 3 years. Unfortunately, some of the keys have stopped working (4). I use the keyboard to compose orchestral and choral music attached to my DAW but I don't play it every day. I'm not sure if I'm expecting too much from it and 3 years is an acceptable wearing out time? In any case I'm now looking for a different make and probably going to pay a little more for better quality.

I wanted a minimalist keyboard for messing around with Garageband, and this is perfect for that - connected instantly with the app. Although not weighted, the keys have a fair amount of resistance and don’t feel flimsy. The default level of touch sensitivity is slightly overkill for me, but it can be adjusted. Overall build quality is good, and it doesn’t look too techy with loads of buttons, sliders and pads like some MIDI keyboards (and I didn’t want those functions). Considering that it’s one of the cheapest - maybe *the* cheapest - 61 full size key models on the market, it really is excellent value.

I use this for composing stuff and coming up with melodies on a 2015 imac I’m primarily a guitarist but like some synth on songs (80s stuff & DX7 /oberheim/D50 etc) This is ideal for coming up with creative ideas. I have a small Arthurian but it did not have enough keys and I ran out of space so this is ideal at the price . I don’t really need all the fancy midi control , will probably use the play & stop buttons ,that’s about it

Excelente midi control. Entrega super rápida!

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

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!

As expected it was nice and the 61 keys are a must if you're a musician
