reginaldStjohn Posted July 14, 2022 Posted July 14, 2022 I have the Nektar LX88+ and it works fine with cakewalk. They have a special driver that you install. The only thing I could't get it to do was switch the sliders from controlling the tracks to control busses.

I’ve also got a Nektar Impact LX88+ and it works pretty well with Cakewalk. However, the SE series you are mentioning is Nektar’s entry level keyboard and doesn‘t have as many DAW controls as the LX series, so if I were you I’d consider going for the slightly more expensive LX49+. 1
Ælleden Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 Yeah ignore my question Im gonna get the GXP49 in the end cause I want aftertouch. And I know it's compatible with Cakewalk, thank you
RSinMadrid Posted April 27, 2023 Posted April 27, 2023 I'm considering a Nektar SE49 as well. I'm a total beginner with MIDI and Cakewalk and want to keep the price down for now. I was wondering whether the DAW features in the LX series give you anything that isn't already provided in Cakewalk itself. Is it just the convenience of having physical controls on the keyboard itself? What am I missing? Thx.

Although you can also assign knobs and slider to control synth parameters, effect parameters etc.

I don't expect to be doing any performing, so I think I can live with the mouse controls for now.
Michael McGinn Posted July 25, 2023 Posted July 25, 2023 Hello all, I have a Novation LaunchKey Mini [MK2] 25 key but I am not able to see it as an option in midi devices. I was wondering if anyone else has used this KB successfully with Cakewalk? Maybe it is just a cable issue or driver issues. I have tried it on 2 different pc's so It must be cable or driver issue or the actual unit is not functioning. I wonder what the normal power on state is.... with mine the drum pads keep randomly lighting up in different colors and just continue to change.

That would be a query for Technical Support at Novation or a reference to the device owners manual. 1
