sequencers
Step-by-step organizers
Sequencers are devices or software that record, edit, and play back sequences of musical notes or events.
In electronic music production, a sequencer controls synthesizers and drum machines, allowing composers to arrange patterns without performing them live: She programmed the bassline in the sequencer.
Hardware sequencers are standalone units; software sequencers run on computers as part of digital audio workstations.
In molecular biology, sequencers are machines that determine the order of nucleotides in DNA or RNA.
