About this item

• PLAY – THE ACTION: 61 velocity-sensitive full-size keys with a synth action keybed that is has firm feel. And as everyone has their own playing style and preferences, we have included a choice of 4 different velocity curves (plus 3 fixed ones) so you can adjust the keyboard response to your needs.
• PERFORM – THE 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.
• BUTTON UP – THE CONTROLS: Four buttons and one MIDI-assignable fader to the left of the keys make the SE61 even more flexible: Shift the keyboard up or down -3/+4 octaves with multi-colored LED indicators showing the exact status. Or transpose the keys +/- 12 semitones with the transpose buttons right below.
• NEKTAR DAW INTEGRATION: Give your trackpad or mouse a break and control DAW transport functions and track selection directly from the SE61: Use the Transpose buttons for track or patch change, always have the currently selected track’s volume assigned to the fader and turn the Octave and Transpose buttons into Play, Stop, Record and Rewind buttons.
• BITWIG 8-TRACK INCLUDED: Bitwig 8-Track DAW includes over 50 software instruments and effects for use on up to 8 audio or MIDI project tracks, and you can use any 3rd party VST plug-ins you might own, too. The ‘Bitwig Essentials Package’ comes as part of this package as well, featuring a highly versatile handpicked selection of loops, clips and samples, to make it even easier to get you started.

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.
