01Overview

Sequence: Hip Hop Beat Creator is aimed at producers who build beats in a sample-based, step-sequenced workflow. The developer describes it as a beat creator for hip hop, pop and R&B. Its sequencer offers up to twelve beat variations, each step can carry its own volume, pitch, pan and sample length settings, and every loaded sample can also be played from a MIDI controller as a one shot. It runs inside Kontakt, so Kontakt is required.

Sequencer, Mixer and Sample Shaping

The sequencer has twelve channels and supports up to 64 steps per sequence. A sample can be switched on or off at each step, and each step has its own volume, pitch, pan and sample length controls, which allows for detailed, expressive drum parts.

The Mixer page adjusts volume and pan for all channels and hosts fourteen FX that can be applied to individual channels or the master output. Sample Edit controls shape the sound of each loaded sample.

A Menus page lets you preview the sample library across sixty-two banks of drum sounds and assign any sample to a sequencer channel or the Roll Creator with one action.

808 Bass and Roll Creator

The 808 section includes thirty-two 808 sounds that can be played from the 808 section of your keyboard. You can choose between mono, poly and glide playback modes, use bend functions, and apply FX such as saturation, EQ, compression and drive.

The Roll Creator applies any sample from the instrument to build fast patterns. It can trigger thirteen playback divisions and create pitch shifts, which removes the need to draw rolls note by note. This is useful for Trap-style hi-hat and snare rolls.
