Using the Nektar SE49 is easy. First, plug the USB cable into your computer. It's USB - powered, so you don't need an extra power source. If you're using an Apple iOS device, you'll need a camera connection kit. Once it's connected, you can start using it with any MIDI music software or DAW on your system. To play, just press the keys. You can adjust the velocity response according to your preference using the 4 different velocity curves and 3 fixed ones. For more advanced control, use the Pitch Bend and Modulation Wheels, and the buttons and fader to the left of the keys. When using the foot switch socket for sustain effects, make sure the switch or pedal is properly connected. As for maintenance, keep the keyboard clean by using a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals. If you encounter any issues with the DAW integration, refer to the user guide or the manual of your specific DAW software. Store the keyboard in a dry place and handle it gently to avoid damage.
