Small is Beatuiful : Ultimate Mobility

The Nektar SE25 is a great solution for any mobile production setup. This compact MIDI keyboard controller is about as wide as a laptop and gives you all you need to create music on the move: 25 mini keys (that actually play well), six control buttons and Nektar DAW Integration.

MOBILE ACTION – THE KEYBOARD

The keys are the most important feature for a MIDI controller keyboard: They transport your playing and musical ideas into the computer. The SE25 is designed to be ultimately mobile and fit in any backpack, the result is a new velocity-sensitive mini-keybed. Despite these keys’ miniscule dimensions, you can play them expressively with a defined and firm feel.

 DOUBLE UP – PART TWO

Simply press the dedicated “2” button to momentarily shift the octave, add an octave or harmony layer while you play – or switch to a different channel: The unique Part Two feature will enable you to play in ways not even possible on keyboards with many more keys! The moment you let go of the Part Two button, the SE25 reverts back to its original settings. So you can toggle back-and-forth between two different keyboard configurations in realtime.

The “2” button is assignable to Octave, MIDI Channel, Transpose, Layer and Latch or a combination of these features.

MODULATE – PERFORMANCE CONTROLS

Pitch Bend, Modulation and Sustain are key ingredients for dynamic keyboard performances. Six buttons to the left of the keyboard are pre-assigned to octave shift, transpose and sustain. If you fon’t need transpose, then assign the transpose buttons to Pitch Bend, MIDI Volume, Pan, Track* or Patch* change instead (*= requires Nektar DAW Integration). And the “S” Sustain button can alternatively be used to control modulation.

NEKTAR DAW INTEGRATION

Give your trackpad or mouse a break and control DAW transport functions and track selection directly from the SE25: Simply press the Play and Rewind buttons simultaneously to enter transport mode and our custom NEKTAR DAW Integration software lets you control your DAW!

Nektar DAW Integration for SE25 surrently supports Bitwig, Cubase, Garageband, Logic, Nuendo, Digital Performer, FL Studio, Mixcraft, Reason, Reaper, Sonar and Studio One. (In order to take advantage of Nektar DAW Integration, you need to register your SE25 and download the integration files from your user account.)
