Easy Beat Making

Want to make beats that pack a pro punch without beating yourself up financially and emotionally with studio gear? This Cyber Sequencer review will take a look at the only desktop beat maker since DUBturbo to claim to be able to rescue aspiring producers from wannabe island or try-hard town.

The thing that makes Cyber Sequencer (and made DUBturbo before it) such a saving grace for all those who aren’t willing to pay more for their beatmaking gear than they did for their car, or are fed up with tirelessly tinkering with sluggish online beat makers, only to end up with a low-quality ringtone, is its focus on the basics done right.

Any decent Cyber Sequencer review ought to at least give the program props for not simply being another novelty beatmaker.

With those “neato!” online beat makers – clearly made by people that love spamming you with ads and offers, as opposed to beat lovers – you get you a sequencer that doesn’t really sequence, only looping one bar, a piggy bank sized open source MP3 sound bank  and you’re forced to finalize your mix as a speaker violating second or even third generation MP3.

And since these programs are a maze to navigate and always lagging, making a bastardized beat like this often takes hours!

Bringing this Cyber Sequencer review back to its target, Cyber Sequencer’s three-panel interface (available for your desktop and online) gives you everything you need to make legit beats that you weren’t getting from wankster beatmakers and nothing you don’t.

Add to that its super lightweight audio engine, designed to only go as slow or fast as your computer’s resources will allow it, and you’ve got a lean, mean beat manufacturing machine that’s capable of pumping out pro DJ or rapper ready mixes in minutes.

(Don’t tell those hungry for your Cyber Sequencer beats that you didn’t spend weeks eating nothing but peanut butter sandwiches in your beat lab!)

The center of the bomb beat dropping action that goes down in Cyber Sequencer is, not surprisingly, its 16-channel sequencer. From here you can draw-in, duplicate and edit (to mix-in change ups and complex fills) bars at blink speed.

This wouldn’t be the first Cyber Sequencer review to suggest that the program may even sequence faster than the turbo-charged and slightly more expensive DUBturbo.

When it comes to making the different layers of your beat that you draw as bars into your sequencer, as with DUBturbo, you’re given separate, drum (10-pad) and keyboard (4-octave) sampler panels. From these you can either lay down your drum beat, orchestration or sound FX on a grid with your mouse, or compose them with hotkeys on your computer keyboard in MPC or MIDI keyboard fashion.

Although it’s tough to find a way to slight such a slick interface in a Cyber Sequencer review, quantizing could be a lot quicker and easier in Cyber Sequencer’s expansion panels.

Of course, what’s the point of giving someone wanting a simple process for pro-quality beat making the tools for quickly building a professionally structured beat without giving them the top-quality materials they need to build it with if it’s going to be pro?

While you’ve got the option of importing your own samples into Cyber Sequencer, you’d have to be deaf to not be hyped to produce when you’ve got thousands of the gold-brick equivalent of instrument kits and sound FX (like rap swines, scratches, punches, voxes etc.) at your fingertips in either of Cyber Sequencer’s samplers.

If you’re reading this Cyber Sequencer review and you want to be the envy of your crew overnight, instead of 5 years from now, this sample bank has got you covered.

This library of award-winning producer created samples, which may even one-up DUBturbo’s dumbfoundingly good collection, is literally at your fingertips too, since you can simply scroll to the sound or kit you want while, and even once you’ve finished, recording a pattern.

To polish your beat in Cyber Sequencer you can master not only each track but each kit you use, right down to individual sounds. When you decide to export your low-effort masterpiece, just as with Cyber Sequencer’s samples, you get nothing but the highest quality – a broadcast quality 44.1 stereo WAV master! Key point of this Cyber Sequencer review right there.

Speaking of taking your beats with you, the PC and MAC compatible Cyber Sequencer works with flash enabled devices. Not to end this Cyber Sequencer review on a sour note, but c’mon guys – why not match DUBturbo here too and have an iPhone and iPad version?

Nonetheless, if you don’t yet have that dream studio Cyber Sequencer is definitely the opportunity of a lifetime to stop dreaming and start instantly producing your dream beats.
