49-Note Velocity-Sensitive Keyboard
The 49-note velocity-sensitive keybed reacts to the velocity of your touch, playing at higher volumes when struck hard and lower volumes when gently hit. This feature provides added expression for music production, allowing you to record melodies and drum patterns with varying volume levels for a professional sound.
DAW & iPad Integration
The Nektar SE49 provides instant integration with a wide range of popular DAWs including Cubase, FL Studio, Logic, Nuendo, Reason, Sonar, Studio One, Bitwig Studio & More.
