01Overview

Sequis is a sample-based instrument built around a pattern-driven approach to sound design. It pairs a library of carefully recorded samples with a sequencing engine, so rhythm and melody develop together inside the same instrument. The result is a textured, pulsing motion that suits both melodic loops and rhythmic patterns. It runs inside Kontakt on Windows and macOS, and was developed in collaboration with Orchestral Tools.

03In depth

Sound and sequencing engine

Sequis is built on a sequencing engine rather than a conventional keyboard-played instrument. The developer describes it as uniting rhythm and melody, so the samples move in patterns that repeat and evolve.

The instrument is designed to produce looping melodies, dynamic pads and rhythmic patterns quickly. Its palette of sounds can be shaped with creative editing controls, which lets you move from a raw sample texture toward something closer to your own sound.

Workflow and compatibility

Sequis is a Kontakt instrument, so you need Kontakt to run it. Native Instruments lists the free Kontakt Player, or the full Kontakt version 6.6.0 or later, as the requirement.

It is available for Windows 10 and 11 (64-bit) and for macOS 13, 14 and 15. The download is 4.3 GB, and the system requirements call for at least 4 GB of RAM, with 6 GB recommended.
