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

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.

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

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

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 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 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 needed a small, lightweight no-frills 61 full sized velocity sensitive controller to use with Ableton ‘on the move’ and this works perfectly out the box. Caveat - I don’t know if the basic play/stop functions work but Ableton immediately recognised it as a velocity sensitive keyboard without any setup required - and that’s all I need it for. The keys are pretty good - not quite the high standard that Yamaha set with the DX7 keybed in the 80’s, but I’d say it’s on par with current Behringer keybeds (like my Deepmind 12) or 00’s Roland keybeds on things like the Juno D. Hopefully it’ll last and won’t start getting dead keys like my previous two M-Audio controllers suffered with.

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!

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.
