First Look: Sequence Hip Hop Beat Creator by Big Fish Audio
There has been a buzz about Sequence, Big Fish Audio’s new Hip Hop Beat Creator since it was first announced at NAMM this year. The library promised to be a powerful and effective sequencer with powerful 808s. I’m happy to say the instrument lives up to the hype and is available at an affordable price.

In this first look I check out some of the sounds and functionality that Big Fish Audio‘s new Sequence library for Kontakt has to offer.
The 808’s will have the house shaking and the 4,000 included drum samples, effects and controls will be a source of nearly unlimited possibility.

I hear the sounds, and it sounds as expected. What I am wondering is, where the big advantage with this product lies, compared to just use the 808/809 drum kits that come with almost every DAW nowadays. To me it seems like Sequence only offers another interface to arrange the beats, but what can be done with it doesn’t differ greatly from what I could do without it.
I know it’s hard to point these things out, if you don’t want the producers to hate you, but as a buyer who has to count the money a bit, that’s what I am interested in.
Hello A.
It is easy for me to talk about the library in the context of your question. As a composer who rarely works in Hip Hop, I don’t really have a collection of this style of drums or a diverse collection of 808s/809s. This is where I see Sequence as helpful for projects for me that might call upon this style of production.
The interface is super easy to get around. I can see how those who grew up with Akia hardware might be into the sequencing style inside the instrument, for me though I am finding I still prefer sequencing in my DAW for speed of editability.I guess
Thanks for the question.
