The Nektar SE61 offers the perfect introduction to the world of producing thanks to its fantastic Nektar DAW integration and clearly structured layout. The five-octave velocity-sensitive synth action keyboard allows for expressive playing and can also be adjusted in its velocity curve using three pre-installed and four user presets. The performance features are rounded off by the easy-to-grip pitch bend and modulation wheel, along with a connection for sustain pedals.

With the help of the octave and transpose buttons, the played octave can be changed by -3/+4 octaves, and the pitch can be adjusted by -12/+12 semitone steps. In addition, clever shift assignments and Nektar's deep DAW integration for all popular DAWs allow various functions of the software used to be operated via four buttons and a 30 mm fader, including track/patch selection and level.
