Yeah it's for sequencing software, then you can't go wrong with either Cakewalk (my favorite), Cubase, or Logic.
If you're just talking about making beats (as in DRUMS), then Fruity is the way to go. There's also some others out there like a VST plug-in called SR202 or something like that. Might want to look into something like that. Or even a program like Reason, which basically has EVERYTHING you would need.
Check out the Software section and have a look at the demos.
