A sequencer is a device or software used to arrange and organize musical notes, sounds, or patterns in a specific order. It allows musicians and producers to create and modify sequences of audio or digital music information, such as melodies, rhythms, or loops. Sequencers enable precise control over timing, pitch, and dynamics, making them essential tools in music production for composing, arranging, and recording music. They can be standalone devices or integrated into digital audio workstations (DAWs).
