Tell me about sequencers my friends. I've got Sequences on trial at the moment, and while I haven't fully got to grips with it yet, I'm having trouble seeing what all the hype is about. I mean it's great, but then so are Kompulsion and Step and PSQ-1684 and Grid 64n and Drum Sequencer and this one and that one and the other one
So this isn't a "Should I buy Sequences?" thread but I would be interested to know which sequencers in Reason you find really good, and why you particularly like them
Your opinions on sequencers please

Kompulsion is the King Arps.
Sequences is the King of Seq.
I have a lot of different Sequencers and Sequences stands totally out from the rest of them. The conditions, quick edit's and recording functions is the main reason it stands right out, I was able to make a complex 8 bar loop with it. I do all my drums with it.
I recently completed a project where I used 168 of them and I would not have been able to do that project without them, I believe what I achieved may have been a first....

Agreed 100%. Kompulsion is the King Arps. Sequences is the King of Seq.Carly(Poohbear) wrote: ↑24 Mar 2021Kompulsion is the King Arps.

ive the quickest workflow with kompulsion so i use it first for everything.
korde is my fav arp because of its free running speed mode and cv in to scan or stutter through each voices pattern
delta midi computer is great for building specific sequencers
um i'll go to rb's Sequencers for the inter-sequence conditions and stepped mode where i would have once used step with euclid or redrum
step still has the easiest to use S&H feature and great performance cv triggers for note ties and retriggering and sequence position like korde
phrase key trigged seq is a favourite for playing with rhythm and velocity but its really an arpeggiator
i used to use as-16 a lot to sequence pattern changes in other sequencers but lately i'll just throw LPCV and some other cv tools together for that
i used 3x matrixs the other week for drum programming for the algoritm song challenge but they are pretty basic and dont have much inter device communication options so that was pretty rare for me
my music is at its best when i combine different sequencers and point them at each other. each perhaps doing something that the others cannot

I just bought sequences and use it for quick recording of the output of other players like Quadnote. With replace mode it is the easiest way to record loops. The king of stepsequencers is StepNote imho and not only in the reason realm not only because you can turn it into a hardware sequencer.
They are truly a gift for the kind of people who make the kind of music that needs sequencers. I don't make that kind of music, so sequencers don't mean anything to me. I wouldn't download and use them even if they were all freeware.
If you can't make a hit with Malstrom, Subtractor and Redrum, you can't make a hit at all.
StepNote maps the steps to Remote which means you can use it with a MIDI controller. I think Sequences doesn't have any Remote control for steps.electrofux wrote: ↑25 Mar 2021I just bought sequences and use it for quick recording of the output of other players like Quadnote.

Yes. Step Note with a Sequences on top is where it's at. Conditional notes feeding in to conditional notes is awesome.electrofux wrote: ↑25 Mar 2021I just bought sequences and use it for quick recording of the output of other players like Quadnote.
