I was intrigued when I watched this. Watched a few more video reviews and noted some people saying they were underwhelmed by the SEQUIS instrument. But if it was built as well as ARKHIS then I thought it surely had to be worth the gamble. Bought it. Installed it. OMG. What a beast. SEQUIS + ARKHIS = Unlimited possibilities with a fast, natural, creative workflow. I never thought I would ride a mod wheel like playing an instrument. This is NOT a 16 step sequencer. This is something else. I'm like a kid with a big new box of coloured pencils.
I feel like I say this every few weeks but the next Komplete is gonna be jam packed with so much amazing value. Gotta start preparing my external hard drive.
This is a brilliant idea using the modwheel to increase the layers. One of NI best new instruments for a while. It's like the software version of my Korg Wavestate that uses 4 separate layers to create evolving rhythms. With 400 presets the possibilities are endless.

Dear NI, This instrument is absolutely brilliant in terms of broad sound palette and the idea of using the modwheel. Thank you very much for it! However, it looks to me that there's a lack of functionality in this one. I think if I could switch between different sequences within one instance of Sequis via C0-C2 midi notes, it would massssively improve the user experience. For now, the dynamics of a sequence are controlled only by adding and removing different layers via modwheel, but you can't add and remove different steps (via some sort of automation). You have to stick to only one sequence within a preset, and if you want to create its automated variation, you need another instance of Sequis. All the rest is beautiful, but it just feels like it could deliver a bit more for its price.
I think Orchestral Tools is fully capable of making a software similar to BAND IN A BOX, input chords, select styles, and generate music. You can also edit inside
Wow, sounds amazing! Will absolutely get this one, I have really missed a tool like this and I suspect it will pair quite well with Arkhis, Straylight and Session Guitarist, all of which I use constantly.
I'm so tempted to buy this (have arkhis and it's awesome) but it needs a song mode - some way of key switching variations. Having the same bar pattern repeating over and over is too limiting
Can Sequis be used for live looping / performing live? Would the only way to do that be via the polynote function + modwheel, while the sequencer is only for clicking in rhythmic patterns? Wondering if there are other live performing capabilites one can do with this instrument. Thank you
Big NI fanboy here. With your offering you need to incorporate something like Divisimate and Scaler2 into Kontakt/KK. That would make your instruments shine even more and your system more "Komplete".
I guess that's another Ultimate: Collector's edition for me :) I've done a quick calculation, and the value between K13UCE and K14UCE is already about 1300 euros for me.
These two will be included in the next version of Komplete. But there's an ongoing offer until Nov 3rd if you want to get both bit.ly/2Y4zT37 👈 Be quick!
@@NativeInstruments Thank you very much but why would one spend an extra $299 ($249 during the offer) on top of $999 (my upgrade offer) for KOMPLETE 13 ULTIMATE COLLECTOR'S EDITION... ??
I just got this library and like the previous great OT collaboration before it, I can really see it becoming a go to library for inspiration and provided the driving force behind tracks. Here is a two minute demo of the library in action for those who want to see more of it being used in practice: ruclips.net/video/kPVL0K-estk/видео.html
@@NativeInstruments Thank you! That sounds good, does it generate the audio in different tracks on the DAW for each layer of Sequis? Does it generate audio or midi as output on Logic pro? Thank you so much for great work you guys do ! much love
@@thomasandmegumilichtenstei7573 depends, I try to keep up with the CE's. If Sequis will be the only thing of real use between Ultimate and U:CE, then I wait until the upgrade sale.
These collaborations with OT are becoming my favourite go to libraries. Here’s a two minute first look video with the library for anyone wanting to see it in action playing with other libraries ruclips.net/video/kPVL0K-estk/видео.html
Just bought this, really disappointed with it. No round robin articulations so the sequences sound really repetitive. And there's no real way to alter the timbre as the sequence is going along. Its sounds half-descent if you use all for layers but there's no way I'm going to do that all the time. Don't waste your money.
I purchased this in hopes that it would assist me in scoring a project I’m working on. The thing is riddled with bugs that make the product useless. I contacted tech support. Even sent the video they requested. And they ghosted me completely. Absolutely disappointed at the way NI has dealt with this.
Hmm, this appears to be running at 122 bpm. Is there a reason for that? That is, do the loops and shakers work well at different tempos? And time signatures for that matter. At least 3/4 is easy enough in the sequencer. Lovely sounds and nice engine, regardless.
Check out the BPM indictor in the top right of the Komplete Kontrol interface - there are examples played at all sorts of different tempi. Sequis can adapt to any tempo.
@@ReubenCornell Brilliant, thanks! It was clear that the sequenced short sounds would work at any tempo, but shaker sounds and anything longer and rhythmic can be more problematic. Good to know Sequis is very adaptable as well. It’s very appealing.

It's really amazing to see the hybrid side of the best orchestral sample developer, Orchestral Tools.
Couldn't agree more!
How did you guys know I desperately needed this for the project I'm working on right now?? Seriously? BOUGHT it as soon as the email hit my in-basket!

You can not but it would definitely be a great feature to explore!
Which reverb preset are you using ? Is it from sequis ?
Really good work 👀💣🔝🙌🏾
How do you find Sequis in Komplete? I can only see it in Kontakt

Is it possible to output a score or midi that can be converted to a score?
can you export MIDI OR WAV file to your DAW?
Is this going to be included i the next version of of Komplete Kontrol?

Does Sequis allow for importing own samples, WAVs or audio like the others?

Hey Fabiano, this is sample based so you cannot change the pitch on this one.
But you can still manage to do it with your DAW 🔧
