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! THE KEYBOARD Fun and expressive to play: The SE61's synth-action keybed has 61 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. PERFORMANCE CONTROLS No matter if you want to play a complex solo in the style of Herbie Hancock or are just trying to make an EDM wobble bass more lively by adding modulation: the SE61’s large Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels will get you there. They have a tight grip and offer just the right resistance. For piano-style sustain effects, you can connect a switch or pedal to the foot switch socket on the back of the SE61. CONTROLS & BUTTONS Four buttons and one MIDI-assignable fader to the left of the keys make the SE61 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. Easy Connectivity SE61 is USB class compliant and don’t require a driver to operate. Just plug the keyboard in to a USB port on your computer. You can also connect SE61 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. NEKTAR DAW INTEGRATION Control your DAW: Of course, the SE61 is compatible with any MIDI software right out of the box. But Nektar controllers can do more if you install our custom NEKTAR DAW Integration software. Control DAW transport functions and track selection directly from the SE61 and give your trackpad or mouse a break: Simply press the Play and Rewind buttons simultaneously to enter transport mode and control the DAW from your SE61!

Could someone who owns one of these measure the exact total width of the 61 keys (from lowest to highest)?** A: 32 13/16 **Q: Does this work with Ableton?** A: Not really **Q: can you plug in headphones to this?** A: It's a MIDI controller only- it doesn't generate sound on it's own, so no, it doesn't have a headphone jack. It needs to be plugged into a synthesizer module or a PC running a synthesizer application via USB (either of which would require it's own headphone jack) . ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For musicians *by A***X on 27 April 2026* As expected it was nice and the 61 keys are a must if you're a musician ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by R***R on 20 April 2026* Guddi and best playing midi keyboard and where it compact very good keyboard ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good for price but keys are hard *by J***N on 13 November 2025* Its actually very good for the price range but the keys are very hard.
