The Nektar SE25 is a compact, rugged USB MIDI keyboard controller featuring 25 velocity-sensitive mini keys with three velocity curve options. Designed for mobile music creation, it offers dedicated performance buttons for layering and sustain, plus seamless integration with popular DAWs via Nektar’s proprietary software control. Compatible across PC, Mac, Linux, and iOS platforms, this lightweight controller empowers musicians and producers to compose, record, and perform with professional-level control in a highly portable form factor.

## Description

From the manufacturer SE25: MINI MIDI CONTROLLER WITH NEKTAR DAW INTEGRATION The Nektar SE25 is designed to be ultimately mobile: Our most compact MIDI keyboard controller is about as wide as a laptop, fits in almost any backpack and gives you all you need to create music on the move. With 25 mini keys (that actually play well), six control buttons and Nektar DAW Integration the SE25 is way more powerful than it might seem at first glance. And we haven’t even mentioned our unique Part 2 feature yet… THE KEYBOARD These keys are ready for action: The SE25 features our newly developed velocity-sensitive mini-keybed. Despite these keys’ miniscule dimensions, you can play them expressively with a defined and firm feel. What’s more, a choice of three different velocity curves allows you to adjust the keyboard response to your playing style. UNIQUE "PART TWO" FEATURE Play in ways not even possible on much larger keyboards: Simply press the dedicated Part “2” button to momentarily shift the octave, add a harmony layer while you play or switch to a different MIDI channel altogether: A fun performance feature! Part Two allows you to 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. PERFORMANCE CONTROLS All you need for dynamic performances: We found a way to shrink the controls for Pitch Bend, Modulation and Sustain to size and put them right at your fingertips. Six buttons to the left of the keyboard are pre-assigned to octave shift, transpose and sustain. Don’t need transpose? Then assign the transpose buttons to Pitch Bend, MIDI Volume, Pan, Track* or even Patch change (requires Nektar DAW integration). And the “S” Sustain button can alternatively be used to control modulation. SE25: ULTIMATE MOBILITY Works with any MIDI software Ultra-compact Rugged enclosure Nektar DAW Integration Supports Windows, Mac OS, Linux (Ubuntu) and Apple iOS (requires camera connection kit) NEKTAR DAW INTEGRATION Control your DAW: Of course, the SE25 is compatible with any MIDI software right out of the box. But Nektar controllers can do more if you install our custom NEKTAR DAW Integration software. Control DAW transport functions and track selection directly from the SE25 and give your trackpad or mouse a break: Simply press the Play and Rewind buttons simultaneously to enter transport mode and control the DAW from your SE25! SUPPORTED DAWs Nektar DAW Integration for SE25 currently 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 Nektar user account.) BITWIG 8-TRACK DAW INCLUDED Produce and perform like a pro from day one with the included Bitwig 8-Track DAW. It comes with 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. What's more, the included ‘Bitwig Essentials Package’ features a highly versatile handpicked selection of loops, clips and samples, to make it even easier to get you started. With Nektar DAW Integration you can control track selection and transport controls directly from the SE25. If you are just starting out, you will find it’s the perfect way to take your first steps in the world of digital music creation. And if you’re already familiar with using computer software, you’ll be amazed at what this combination has to offer!

Review: Incredible - Incredible value! I’ve seen people say they had problems setting it up, I can confirm after testing in both a free DAW (Tracktion waveform) and a paid one (Ableton) and its plug and play, both DAWs recognised it as a midi instantly and I could start using it, so I’d imagine it’s compatible with every mainstream DAW. It’s light weight making it easy for travel, although not the reason I bought it, I bought it because its size is ideal for my desk. All round it’s great fun and an incredible product, nothing else at this price point can compare.
Review: Good little compact keyboard - I wanted a small keyboard for basic note entry in Cubase and was quite surprised at what a good job it does for under £40. The key action is not brilliant but it's very useable and you have a choice of 3 velocity curves. Push 2 buttons and the transport feature is enabled (and works well with Cubase 10 - an exe file is supplied which automatically configures the midi ports and control options). It will play / record / stop and fast forward / rewind. Push 2 other buttons together and I can then select tracks in Cubase - other functions are available and the parameter controlled is easily configurable. If you take 10 minutes to read the short manual and learn how the buttons work then it is quite intuitive and unlocks a surprising amount of functionality considering that the device has a tiny footprint. I'd recommend this for note entry and control in a cheap, useable package.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you use headphones with the nektar se25 usb midi keyboard controller?**
A: The Nektar SE25 doesen‘t have an incorporated audio interface. Therefore you can not use headphones on this MIDI Controller. TRIKON Customer Service

**Q: Does this work with fl studio?**
A: I do not have FL Studio however the speclist  confirms that it works / integrates with FL Studio. It`s a great keyboard

**Q: Does this work from Ableton live?**
A: Yes, it is plug and play.

**Q: Does it work with Simply Piano?**
A: Probably, but if you are using simply piano to learn then this isn't the product for you I think. It's only got 2 octaves and is not suitable for 2 hand playing. I use it with my sequencer for inputting notes, editing and playing chords and single lines, not as a piano keyboard.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good for the price
*by A***R on 9 February 2021*

Very light portable midi keyboard with 2 octaves of small keys, (doesn’t do sound). Not bad quality in the build either. A bit plasticky(is that a word) but doesn’t affect performance. Buttons are small but good rubber quality. If you need something portable that you can use anywhere with your Ipad or laptop then this is great kit for the price. Keyboard is fine for laying down a midi track but don’t plan on reciting “Moonlight Sonata” on a live recording. Has some really good functionality such as pitch bend, sustain, octave control, layering notes and midi functions such as volume control panning and latching. I consider myself pretty tech comfortable but I did find this kit a bit difficult to program and it took me some time to follow the instructions which could have been easier to follow. All considering, if you want some basic midi keyboard input that doesn’t require all ten digits(both hands) and you have a restricted budget or just starting with midi then this kit is just the ticket. Worth more than its price tag, so very god value.
