## Description

From the manufacturer PLUG IN AND PLAY! The Nektar SE49 USB MIDI controller keyboard has all the features you need to start making music with your computer. It is compatible with any MIDI music software, sports a full-size keyboard with velocity, includes all the performance controls you’d expect and even has Nektar DAW control features. Simply plug the supplied USB-cable in and go: Capture your ideas while they are fresh! KEYBOARD & PERFORMANCE CONTROLS Fun and expressive to play: The SE49's synth-action keybed has 49 velocity-sensitive full-size keys with a defined and firm feel. What's more, a choice of 4 different velocity curves (plus 3 fixed ones) allows you to adjust the keyboard response to your needs. The large Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels have a tight grip and offer just the right resistance for adding modulation to your playing. CONTROLS & BUTTONS Four buttons and one MIDI-assignable fader to the left of the keys make the SE49 even more flexible. Apart from shifting the octave and transpose, these buttons can easily be assigned to switching MIDI channel, MIDI programs or even selecting tracks and browsing patches when Nektar DAW Integration is active. Better still, you can set the MIDI Fader, Modulation Wheel or Foot Switch Pedal to control any MIDI CC message on most MIDI soft- and hardware products. 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. Your assignments are stored over power cycling. GET CONNECTED - SETUP & iOS SE49 keyboards are USB class compliant and don’t require a driver to operate. So you are up and running on Mac OS or Windows in seconds; 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 an 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.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ perfect beginner midi keyboard
*by P***. on 27 March 2023*

Good: It works, just works. Bad: Bitwig DAW (which I like as a software) is severely limited and is pricey to unlock. I tried to get into this pre internet, bought a few books and got nowhere. Twenty plus years later and off work for a bit, I decided to dust off the old midi keyboard to find time and more specifically Windows had left it far far behind, so bought myself the SE49. One month later and I have gone straight down the Software Synth Rabbit hole. Trying to recreate all the classic songs and sounds, from the 70s and early 80s. The keyboard is all I need for my limited skill set, everything you wish is out there for free, I was hoping for a synthesiser and now have more than I can wave a stick at! With Youtube as a guide, you will soon be up and running. It will even give you keyboard lessons and teach you how to play songs of your choice correctly. Wan't to get into making and playing music on the cheap then just go for it, plug it into your computer and off you go! One of the best buying decisions I have made ever, now excuse me while I vanish back down that music production wormhole, trying to recreate that bass synth sound from bedsitter.
