sequencer
Musical pattern organizer
A sequencer is a device or program that records, edits, and plays back sequences of events in a predetermined order.
In music production, a sequencer arranges MIDI data or audio clips into compositions: She programmed the drum pattern in the sequencer.
In molecular biology, a DNA sequencer determines the order of nucleotides in genetic material.
The term extends to any equipment that controls sequential operations—traffic light controllers, industrial machinery, or synthesizer modules that generate repeating patterns of notes or voltages.
