49-note keybed
With compact controllers, the feel/action of the keybed is often one of the first components to take a hit With the SE49, Nektar set out to prevent this from happening They developed a brand-new velocity-sensitive keybed The aim was to provide a familiar, firm playability without adding to the bulk of the unit Add three velocity curves to the mix, and you ve got a truly expressive piece of kit!
Intuitive DAW integration
The small control panel to the left of the keyboard provides you with a number of performance controls, including octave shift, sustain, pitch bend and more You can easily tweak your performance in real-time with minimal hassle

Custom MIDI assignments
Take control a notch further: Most soft- and hardware products with MIDI have their parameters assigned to so-called MIDI CC messages 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 from a hardware control on your SE49
Simply set the MIDI Fader, Modulation Wheel or foot switch pedal to control the MIDI CC message you want Your assignments are stored over power cycling, so next time you can continue where you left off right away

49 Keys
This synthesiser features a compact 49-key keyboard, striking a balance between portability and functionality. It’s an excellent choice for musicians who need a versatile instrument for both studio and live performances. The reduced key count makes it easier to transport, while still offering enough range for melodies, chords, and expressive playing. Perfect for producers, keyboardists, and performers alike, this instrument is designed for creativity on the go.
Compact
A compact synthesizer is a smaller, more streamlined synth designed to be portable and space-efficient without sacrificing essential features and sound quality. These synthesizers are typically built to have a reduced footprint, making them easier to carry around or fit into limited studio or stage setups. Despite their size, compact synths often include a versatile range of sounds and functions, such as multiple oscillators, filters, effects, and sometimes even sequencers or arpeggiators. They are ideal for musicians or producers looking for a capable instrument that can be easily transported or fit onto a crowded desk or stage rig.
Compact synths might feature mini keys, knob-based controls, or even touch interfaces to maximize usability within a small form factor. Popular examples include the Korg microKORG, Roland Boutique series, and Arturia MicroFreak. They are designed to balance functionality with convenience, offering musicians a way to explore creative ideas without requiring a full-sized, heavyweight synthesizer. These compact designs are often well-suited for live performers, travelling musicians, and home studio producers who want a versatile instrument without taking up too much space.
Controller
This product functions as a MIDI controller, designed to give you hands-on control over your digital audio workstation (DAW) and virtual instruments. With features like velocity-sensitive keys, customisable pads, knobs, and sliders, this controller allows for expressive performance and precise control, making it a versatile tool for studio production or live performances.
Midi
MIDI, which stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, is a technical standard that enables electronic musical instruments, computers, and other devices to communicate with each other. It allows for the transmission of musical data such as note messages, control signals, and synchronization commands between compatible devices. MIDI data does not contain actual audio; instead, it contains instructions for generating sound, controlling parameters, and sequencing musical events. This versatile protocol has revolutionized music production by facilitating seamless integration between different hardware and software components, enabling musicians, producers, and composers to create, manipulate, and perform music with unprecedented flexibility and precision
New
This product is brand new, unused, and in its original packaging. It has never been opened or used, ensuring you receive it in pristine, factory-sealed condition, just as originally manufactured.
It is ideal for those who want the assurance of a fresh start with their gear.
USB
Having a USB connection provides crucial benefits for modern musicians and producers, primarily related to connectivity and workflow. USB enables a direct link between the synthesizer and a computer, making it possible to transmit MIDI data seamlessly without relying on traditional 5-pin MIDI cables. This connection allows the synth to function as a MIDI controller, sending and receiving MIDI signals to and from a DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). As a result, musicians can easily sequence and record their synth performances, automate parameters, or even use the synth to control virtual instruments within the DAW. This streamlined setup saves time and reduces the amount of cabling and interfaces required, creating a more efficient studio or performance environment.
In addition to MIDI capabilities, USB ports on synthesizers often support data transfer and software updates. This means users can back up and restore patches, download new firmware updates to add features or improvements and manage their sounds with dedicated software. For some portable or compact synths, USB connections also offer a convenient power source, allowing the synth to draw power directly from a computer or USB battery pack. This combination of data management, connectivity, and power makes USB-equipped synthesizers a versatile and practical choice for musicians seeking flexibility and ease of use in their setups.
