[@premkumarnair1101]

thanks for reviewing it Reuben had this bad boy last year still making good stuff on it... all the best on review :)

[@buraksevilmis5059]

i've been using this midi keyboard 1 years and i didn't know the transport and setup features :D thank you this video man. i sub :D

[@MT-on4hn]

How is it going is this midi keyboard durable?! Is it still working fine?!

[@buraksevilmis5059]

@@MT-on4hn im still using that MIDI keyboard and i didn't see any problems on it :D you can use it for long times.

[@MT-on4hn]

@@buraksevilmis5059 thx for replying I'm still deciding between this and worlde blue whale 49 which has semi weight keys which one would you recommend based on this information

[@dagomusic3533]

is it compatible with fl studio?

[@lydiaanna3037]

Is it compatible with FL studio? May I ask hm

[@Patrick-mm7fz]

Can I use the keyboard with an iPad as well? (That runs GarageBand)

[@reubenchng]

Yes!

[@salahibozkurt]

I tried the se61 version and keys are not SENSITIVE very much. You cant press 32th or 64th notes easily key structure isnt allow to play fast solo. If you are playing slow things or you need something to press chords prefer this. Material quality is nice and its design is good. controls are very simple. You can use this for a chord-pressing keyboard while playing solo at another midi keyboard... this is my review for Nektar se61 . I tried with logic pro and all well known midi vsts like kontakt, omnisphere, ample sound, toontrack, u-jam etc....

[@lavatr8322]

i dont understand .. is there a delay in keypress? We can't play them Fast? Im a beginner , I want to learn Piano(I already have a DAW)

[@salahibozkurt]

@@lavatr8322 Hi, i tried this keyboard for 2 months as my main keyboard controller at DAW and i saw that keys are hard keys not enough soft for playing fast solos and sometimes while playing fast delays are happening between notes. I dont like this hard material keyboards. Maybe Nektar Impakt is much better at key quality but SE61 is a very amateur controller i dont advice if you are looking for a longtime instrument to play

[@pheonixm2926]

Will this run with FL studio?

[@MaxFury_Official]

Great demo! I'm waiting for mine. Used to have a M-Audio Keystation 49 but the pitch wheel started changing random pitch values inside of the daw, seems common with midi controllers after usage. Not gonna abuse the pitch wheel because of that this time!

[@reubenchng]

Sounds like dust or corrosion happening at the contact points. Hope you're enjoying your new controller

[@RamavtarMarwadi]

Thankyu

[@bisaular5333]

How's the velocity? Is it good for piano play?

[@yunusemreaslan3016]

It is midi keyboard only works with computer ,you can change velocity on your DAW

[@isaiahforech1413]

4:21 Yes, you can play loud or quiet

[@LAhd872]

Yes, Interesting Video. I play Guitar and need one Midi keyboard etc for background drum / beats making. Is it good especially wihout any DAW as such for beginners and low budget option. Please.

[@johngalvan4879]

dope stuff, new subscriber :)

[@reubenchng]

Glad to have you around :)

[@MrVincent97133]

very simple but very nice , good job , thank you .....

[@billyfreeze1893]

hi - nice demo , may I ask - How did you quantize that first phrase on GarageBand ? thx !

[@luke4897]

scissor icon -> track -> time quantize

[@billyfreeze1893]

@@luke4897 Thank you , I have been away from GB and couldn't remember where quantize was , so it show up as a drop down box ,once you hit scissors , How genius is that, they could have spelled out "quantize" , but why make it easy :)

[@MuculturaBaq]

It work with LMMS DAW?

[@reubenchng]

a MIDI controller is like a computer keyboard. Yes by essence it should work

[@Sharkim66]

Yup. Everything is cool except for the keyboard action which I find hard and challenging to play expressively

[@lavatr8322]

What does that mean?? Im a beginner and looking to learn piano

[@redissus521]

Can you change the tone of it so it sound more like a piano like a piano mode not a beat mode?

[@reubenchng]

Do you mean the MIDI velocity curve? Yes you can change that. I was using the default velocity curve, and just striked the key harder to program the beats.

[@neocharis]

I'm playing D major but it's playing D#major in any software i use...someone please help 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Digitt6]

I assume you've transposed it 1 semitone? Perhaps press the button to shift the keyboard 1 semitone down

[@lathoaitan7246]

alll sound in this video in Logic pro ??? right?

[@manojmaani]

is this difficult with out drum pad?

[@rocketlonchermusic1537]

Thanks for transpose solution

[@maxwellvangulinja]

i love the review i love that...

[@Prismit-m7v]

hi, what port number do you have to select in fl studio?

[@Septeemberpain]

Thanks great review!

[@darpsyxer]

hey thx for the REVIEW! very helpful video

[@Michaelanthonyfilmsss]

Nice midi. I just bought the SE 25Mini cuz this one was taking up too much space.

[@ronnyraschke77]

Which type of macbook do use? Is it a M1 chip? I am searching for a keyboard that works plug & play with the m1 chip.

[@belutpuaka]

Hello, can I no what model the external monitor you used

[@gregorybrown9101]

Trying to set this up in Reaper and I am having the hardest time trying to figure out how to do so! Cannot hear anything, have done everything I can think of.

[@reubenchng]

First, see if your computer and DAW detects the input.

[@fokinDim]

excuse me for no articles using, Im russian) thanks buddy, good for you. I bought this keyboard. nektar se 49. they write "no driver required. plug and play. that's exactly what I did. i plugged it. and I got "USB audio device" in my windows device manager. with midi components оf course. but I cant play. my old DAW doesn't "see" that MIDI input device. also its not seen by any online synthesizer. although with the old keyboard via mpu-401 it all worked perfectly. did I throw my money away?

[@reubenchng]

That's fine. Happy to connect. No you didnt blow your money. I believe you have used up all your MIDI device slots. Try this kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWrdqKZth7Z-fqs

[@rumputkusegar1913]

I always prefer 88 keys.

[@taranazare2633]

Thank you

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Nektar SE49 is fine however it might be better to get a used keyboard with alot more features, the Akai APK49 and Arturia keylab essential used cost around $100.

[@reubenchng]

That sounds smart too.

[@sofeaonchain850]

I plug it n click on minilab mkll on ableton11 no sound but i can see the wave n light it goes up when i hit the key but no sound. What should i do?

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Preferences select sound drive, there is only about 5 listed there.

[@mnjbeatzjeffrey7388]

Which monitor do you use ?

[@alfainzahry_413]

Is it still worth it?

[@yoontherock]

How’s about keybed clicky sound and feeling compared to Samson Carbon.

[@reubenchng]

I prefer it to the Samson Carbon

[@rudramalik999]

[@myxsys]

Excellent review! Thanks

[@factsroom2070]

Does the keys makes lot of key press noise while playing

[@reubenchng]

A little. It's a little plasticky if you know what I mean.

[@Sunilsunil-nl9rw]

Thankyou sar

[@ViniSantannaa]

VERY GOOD :)

[@joaomarcelino4967]

Will this product work with Ableton? even if it is not compatible.

[@DieSchmierlaus]

No

[@johnmanjohnston]

@@DieSchmierlausif this controller is compliant with the MIDI protocol (which it should be, considering it’s labeled a MIDI controller) why wouldn’t it work with Ableton?

[@hemantakakati1103]

It works i have nektar gx25 using with ableton, just install the driver you are good to go

[@TurfSurf]

what program is that?

[@reubenchng]

Logic Pro X

[@sharttank5999]

This is an honest review but I think he's being very very polite about this piece of garbage still. I am going to subscribe , he's honest just needs to use more curse words. It is seriously a huge piece of shit.

[@reubenchng]

Thanks! Yes, I was being quite polite about it. Who knows maybe some stronger words later on. :D

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

For $100 it's fine.

[@sharttank5999]

@@HOLLASOUNDS no, it's really not good for $50.. it's junk.

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@sharttank5999 Nope I disagree its decent for $100.
