## Description

Product Description See below From the Manufacturer 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!

Review: This MIDI keyboard does it all for a great price - OK, I’m not a professional or even an amateur musician, but this keyboard is a great way to get into learning to play (using GarageBand on my 2019 MacBook Pro or iPad Pro 11"—see photo for the latter setup). You need nothing more than a simple USB to USB-C adapter, and you are off and running. The keyboard is close enough to a standard piano keyboard to allow your fingers to play freely and well, and the velocity sensor does a good job of interpreting the strength of my key strikes. I added a Donner pedal for sustain, and that works flawlessly. So now I have a great practice keyboard and pedal for well under $100, and I can use this set-up for much more as I get better experienced with GarageBand and Skoove (the latter has good lessons for beginners like me). Pretty amazing what is available and what quality is available, when you start to look around! Nektar deserves an award for bringing economical instruments (backed by a great website and software) to market. The keyboard fits nicely on my existing pull-out keyboard tray. It’s not too tall, yet substantial enough to feel real! In the photo, you will note that I connected the SE49 to an old SONOS Play 5 or headphones, using an old USB splitter that I connected to the USB-C (Apple Thunderbolt compatible)-to-USB converter. I then plug the headphones into a USB-to-Audio jack converter for private practice or I plug the SONOS (using the SONOS 1 app) into the headphone line for out-loud proactice. Lots of options work, if you just tinker around a little bit!
Review: Good MIDI Controller with Just The Right Features - The Nektar SE49 is a solid MIDI controller. It has 49 full size keys that have a good feel and non-weighted playing action. The SE49 keys have excellent touch sensitivity and velocity response. The Nektar SE49 has just enough MIDI controls to perform music using your favorite Digital Audio Workstation without getting too deep into the controller setup process. Although you can setup the Nektar SE49 to send midi channel and control change messages by configuring the onboard buttons and slider, and using the upper octave keys as numbers 0 through 9 and and the highest key on the right as the “Enter” key. All programming options are clearly labeled above the keys. The keyboard is light weight and looks great with a two tone black and red finish. Check out my Review / Tutorial video to see how the Nektar SE49 works. Five Star product. Please see Video Index to search for key features of the Nektar SE49 easier.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Semiweighted keys?**

**Q: Does it work with Windows 10**
A: Works with win 7 and 10...

**Q: Cual es la diferencia con la GX49?**
A: GX has more DAW functionality , hardware buttons and LEDs. If DAW control is important to you, the GX is worth the extra money to be able to set and go to left/right locators, open windows, engage cycle and control track volume without parameter jumping and more. SE49 is more basic in that it mainly offers play/stop, record, forward, rewind and track change.

**Q: How long is the cable that's included?**
A: The cable is about 3feet long.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for th price, for producing and composing
*by M***A on October 15, 2025*

Very good midi controller for the price, I bought it to have a bigger keyboard and with more piano feel, I'm not a professional pianist but it's perfect if you're looking for a keyboard to practice and produce with your daw, the keys feel a bit hard but don't impede playing, it works great with logic and GarageBand
