Welcome to SEQUI2R EX
Thank you for buying SEQUI2R EX!
The focus of SEQUI2R EX is to provide a new way of creating sequences, without being bound
to a arpeggiator type of workflow. SEQUI2R EX enables the user to record and perform custom
phrases, which are altered by SEQUI2R EX engine in order to follow the composition’s chords
progression. But it does not end here. As you’ll see there are many applications for SEQUI2R
EX. So please, read on, as, even though the user interface is not overly complicated and does
not comprise many different pages, a few important feature might not be apparent on the GUI at
a first glance.

SEQUI2R EX System Requirements
To install SEQUI2R EX you need at least 5GB of hard disk space (over 10GB uncompressed).
While a fast hard drive is required, a solid state drive is highly recommended in a fast computer,
due to SEQUI2R EX’s high number of samples and demanding CPU engine.
SEQUI2R EX requires the retail Native Instruments Kontakt 5.5. SEQUI2R EX will not work with
Kontakt Player. You will need an extraction utility to unpack the .rar or .zip archives (whichever
you received). This library is intended for use with MIDI controller keyboards - ideally with 76
keys. Due to the layout of SEQUI2R EX it is recommended to have a few MIDI controllers
(sliders or knobs) available, to take fully advantage of SEQUI2R EX capabilities.
MAC RECOMMENDED SYSTEM
● Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon 2.66GHz or higher
● 16GB RAM or more
● Mac OSX 10.7 or later
● SSD (Solid State Drive)
● NI Kontakt 5.5
PC RECOMMENDED SYSTEM
● Intel Core 2 Quad, or AMD Quad Core 2.66GHz or higher
● 16GB RAM or more
● 64-bit Windows/Host Sequencer
● Sound card with ASIO drivers
● SSD (Solid State Drive)
● NI Kontakt 5.5

Tutorials on the web

version of SEQui2R family, you can learn from older videos of SEQui2R, SEQui2R 1.1,
SEQui2R 1.2. Bear in mind that since the following videos are in chronological order, you might
find some of the explained methods or functionality outdated in the earlier videos and then up to
date on later videos.

Installation
Locate your downloaded file and use a zip extraction utility to uncompress SEQui2R EX.
SEQui2R EX makes use of Kontakt’s snapshots feature. Please refer to Kontakt’s user manual
to learn how to load and save snapshots. To install SEQui2R EX factory’s snapshots, copy
SEQui2R EX folder (located inside Snaphots folder) to:
▪ On Mac OS X: Macintosh HD/Users/Your Name/Documents/Native Instruments/User Con-
tent/Kontakt/
▪ On Windows:C:\Users\Your Name\My Documents\Native Instruments\User Content\Kontakt/
Do not copy the folder “Snapshots” but only the folder named “SEQui2R” into
the path above.
Failing to do so will result in the incapacity of loading SEQui2R factory patches. While this may
be a big handicap, this library can still be used without them, but the user will have to create his
own patches/snapshots from scratch.
Snapshot loading workaround.
Note: In some PC configurations the snapshot Kontakt folder is not created when Kontakt is
installed, but only when the user creates his first snapshot. Therefore the path to the snapshots
does not work if no user snapshots has ever been created prior to SEQui2R installation. If you
do not see a Kontakt folder in the snapshots path indicated in the manual please use this
workaround:
1. Do not move SEQui2R snapshot folder in the suggested path yet.
2. Load SEQui2R in Kontakt.
3. Follow Kontakt instructions on how to save a snapshot, and save a dummy snapshot
with any name.
4. Pls check that you see it afterwards in the snapshot list.
5. Open Kontakt's hood clicking on the wrench and click on instrument options.

6. Select the tab "Snapshots" and click on "show". Kontakt should point you directly to the
folder "it wants you to put the snapshots in".
7. Drag all the folders that you find inside SEQui2R snapshot folder: The file INIT and the
folders, Electronic, Organic, Guitars and Rhythms.
8. Now check the snapshot list again and you should see all presets snapshots.
Minimizing loading time
Some computer configurations might take long to load Sequi2r EX samples the first time its
booted. After the first boot it is recommended to do a BATCH RESAVE following these steps:
Step 1: BACK UP SEQui2R EX by copying the whole folder in a different location.
Step 2: Go to Kontakt Files menu and hit Batch Resave. Select “YES” at the dialog popup. Note
that you do not need any patches loaded in Kontakt for this to work.
Step 3: In the “Browse for Folder” popup, select SEQui2R folder.
Step 4: A dialog might pop up displaying any missing samples in that folder. At the bottom,
make sure “Allow alternate file types” is checked (this will check for both WAV and NCW), and
then use the “Browse for folder” option to select Sequi2r Samples folder, where you NCW
samples are stored.
Step 5: Load SEQUi2R EX again, and you’ll be good to go.
FOR WINDOWS 10 USERS ONLY
There might be a problem with Windows trying to scan all the samples for virus.
Please try the following, which worked for other windows users:
In your PC try to go to: SETTINGS / UPDATE & SECURITY / WINDOWS DEFENDER and look for
EXCLUSIONS in the right pane, selecting ADD EXCLUSION. Go with a "Folder Exclusion" for the directory
where your Kontakt libraries are. Copy your downloaded Sequi2r zip file in that folder and try to unzip it once
again, inside that folder.

FOR THE OWNERS OF SEQUI2R 1.2
Apart from a few graphic differences, SEQui2R 1.2 owners should find their way around
SEQui2R EX pretty quickly.
If you have created custom snapshots or edited any factory one, you can still use them but you
need to turn off the Sub Sources Button off till it turns red. This way, no sub layers will play
accidentally. If you load a custom snapshot, created prior updating to SEQui2R EX, please save
it again with the Sub Sources Button off. All the snapshots provided in this new release are
updated so you can simply replace the old ones. But, as mentioned, if you have edited any
SEQui2R 1.2 snapshot, please, load it and save it with a different name with the Sub Sources
Button off.
