Here's a real sequencer....

Hrm... so much depends on definition...!

I had music programs on the C64 that I could compose with. It was digital, audio was produced, and since it was a computer I guess it was a workstation.

Then, I had a Portastudio which was certainly not digital, BUT, I 'sequenced' drum tracks on my BOSS DR-55, which surely WAS digital!

But, in the most commonly used definition, I guess my first was Cakewalk Plasma Express. Or Computer Muzys. Sort of both at the same time.

I think it the very 1st sequencing thing I ever used was Digidrum or so on the atari st. 2 voice sampled. I do remember making a drumistic tune in 7/8. 2 bongos playing 1 voice and kick,snare,hh doing a 1 voice beat. Then I got a simmons sds-9 midi (still have one) and I was using a bogus copy of cubase. Then an r-8 rhythm composer (still have it).

I had a c-64 before but I was only playing games at the time and the only music soft I can remember was music studio by electronic arts. It was mainly notation based.

I've got one of those! Had it since 1992. Fonky little sound box!

I should dig it out of the closet and start using it again-by now it's so old it's probably retro!

I have a Moog Song Producer (1983) and I'm keeping a C64 alive just for it.

But my first sequencer was the Orchestra-80 card for a Model-I TRS-80. I used it to make arrangements for university projects.

My first sequencers were Roland CSQ series but I don't remember which model. My first computer sequencer was a Sequential Circuits Model 64. I kept using the cartridge as a MIDI I/F with a couple of pins taped over to run Dr. T's KCS on Commodore's until moving on to an Atari Mega ST. For a hardware MIDI sequencer I used a Kawai Q-80.

Voyetra sequencer gold running on a 5 (!!!!)MHz AT&T 8086 machine. when I upgraded (!!!) to a 33MHz PC still running gold, I had to re-work all my Akai 2800s samples since the run rate threw everything out of sync. What a pain in the ass. I can't believe I spent that much time doing that tedious crap...but now I spend time doing other crap that's just as tedious

ProTracker on Amiga, FastTracker on 8088 clone with PC-speaker (actually I think it was a pre-FastTracker tracker but I forgot the name of it, it crashed all the time)
