There is a sequencer on the Chroma Polaris, but I never used it. First computer software for me was

Bars & Pipes, Amiga 500, still missed sometimes (not the real software as much as the cool concept - but Bitwig is close enough 
).
Together with a Roland U220 and a Doepfer LMK3 the 80ies were not that bad at all...
Cheers,
Tom

Chaos Music Composer on 8-bit Atari 800XL!
Over the years I lost all of the tapes with my 'projects' from it, but a friend uploaded to YT two 'demos' I created with my brother and/or my friend

Even though Protracker on the Amiga would be my first music making program, I suppose that wouldn't really qualify as a sequencer per se. That would probably be Music-X:

I covered much of this in a few of my own previous thread topics here I think and many will know where I started if one had looked at my own blog, of which I'll have a spanking new modern one soon. But anyway, as an 80's kid, when I wasn't climbing over stationary railway carriages that were full of grain with friends back in 1985... I use to play in time with Jean Michel Jarre during his live stage shows that were broadcast, on my Casio SK1 Sampling keyboard. It was really as close to what a decent recording sequencer one could have for around £75 to £100. Some people even adopted circuit bending to them which was rather interesting if a bit of a shame to see.
Around the same year my older brother, programmed his own DAW or music program in 1985 on the Atari 800 XL computer. To little surprise to anyone here...I was completely absorbed in what he had created... I didn't ever have any cartridges for it, nor a disk drive, but simply a 1010 tape deck to load games, educational titles and programs I had written to tape. Awesome computer with an awesome sound chip, which I would argue was nicer sounding than that of the Commodore 64 and obviously far better than the Sinclair Spectrum range.

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

I did everything on it. I maxed out the RAM and added a SCSI drive. I would sample Guitar parts and vocals onto it. I didn't really know what I was doing and it was rudimentary, but it was awesome. I think they added hard drive recording, but I never used it. Now that I think of it, I was doing math to figure out timing of a measure. I think everything would be just one pattern - I didn't know how to string patterns together.
