Music Creation
A sequencer in music often refers to software or equipment for composing and arranging sounds.

I loaded the samples into the music sequencer to start my track.
Pattern Automation
Sequencers can automate repetitive patterns, allowing musicians to focus on other parts of their performance.

With the drum sequencer running, she played the keyboard live.
Electronic Genres

Live from Mars 360° PIPE...
it's for what what he actually does I'm gonna actually take you guys over here and show you this DNA sequencer and can you help us out kind of I hope the fans and tell us what this is what what he does but obviously at the end of the first season they had discovered

Why genetic research...
My vision is to make genetic research more native, to indigenize genome sequencing technology. Traditionally, genomes are sequenced in laboratories. Here's an image of your classic genome sequencer. It's huge. It's the size of a refrigerator.

Leroy Hood
American Scientist
In the late 1970s, when I was a professor at Caltech, I pioneered four instruments for analyzing genes and proteins that revolutionized modern biology - and one of these, the automated DNA sequencer, enabled the Human Genome Project.

Quote examples
Bill Bruford
British Musician
If it's fast, no I don't have enough piano technique. In that case, it's probably been done on some kind of synthesizer or sequencer. Then the score can then be printed out and so forth.

Tom Jenkinson
English Musician
I was starting to feel really suffocated, using the sequencer.

You should approach a sequencer like you would a Dobro guitar.
