What is a sequencer?

A sequencer is a device or software that allows the user to program and manipulate a sequence of musical events or notes. This involves providing a series of instructions for the timing, duration and pitch of each note, which can then be played back in order to create music. Sequencers are commonly used in electronic music production to create drum patterns, melodies, and entire tracks, and can be used with a variety of instruments and sound sources.
