I'm assuming that a sequencer here is something that can "memorize" and output a sqeuence of control parameters. Mine has knobs, theirs doesn't. But it *do* the same thing.

I was referring to the ancient sequencers that simply output a control signal sequentially on one of a whole row of control jacks, one after the other, which you then connected to the control inputs on various synthesizer modules on this massive array of modules to cause it to do something at the prescribed time. -- Shyy-Anzr: J.

[ROSKOS] That's exactly what a computer-based digital synth sequencer simulates. It just uses "virtual" patchcords instead of wires cluttering up your living room.
