From the Manufacturer
The Nektar SE25 is a great solution for any mobile production setup. Our most 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. So the SE25 is way more powerful than it might seem at first glance.
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 KEYBOARDThese 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" FEATUREPlay 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 CONTROLSAll 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. |
- 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 INTEGRATIONControl 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! |
DAW'S SUPPORTEDNektar 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.) |

With Nektar DAW Integration you can control track selection and transport controls directly from the SE25.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
For starters:
-You can change octaves with the click of a button.
-It has a transposition feature where you can change the tuning/key with the click of a button.
+ its super easy to use/set-up.
If you're okay with a bare-bones board that you can throw in your backpack to save song ideas on the go, then this is perfect
There's a slight learning curve to master some of the customizations, but in my opinion, it's pretty manageable. The only thing I wish I'd known before purchasing: modulation control is all-or-nothing. Not a huge surprise, but if you like to live around mid-range modulation, you shouldn't be looking in this price range. The rest of the customizations are outstanding. You won't forget you're on a budget board, but I haven't seen better for the price.
10/10 would buy another if this one got lost
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2021
The keys are small and not full size as it is clearly stated in the Amazon discrimination. I'm using this for composing electronic music which does not require too many chords. I did, however, purchase the 61 key model to widen my choices and for full size keys. But I still use this little guy for straight sound and single key action. I have not used it for controling DAW yet.
Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2021
I would say that it's hard using features other than it's most basic ones octive jump and my midi program sometimes won't recognize it so I'll have to restart it several times before it picks it up.
I have a small desk and I did drop it once behind my desk and one of the keys broke immediately without being able to be fixed so it wis cheaply made and is fragile so BE CAREFUL.

Just get it and have fun.
Functions missing on more expensive models.
You get your own 8-Track Studio so you can start making music right out of the box.
This is ideal for beginners its very compact so easy to use
worth the price for the DAW alone.
