--- Quote ---The DAW is the heart of modern home studios. A sequencer isn't something you should buy carelessly because it impacts the way you work – the whole process, from the idea to its realization. Here is a brief introduction to the 18 best sequencers on the market, in no particular order of course.

Note that the following selection intentionally excludes broadcast sequencers (Nuendo, Sequoia, Pyramix, etc.) that are much more expensive. Our focus is on sequencers dedicated to music production. Also, this list is ordered by product name, not by "best" to "worst".

We also do not cover Linux-based software, for instance the excellent Ardour and Rosegarden, or the amazing Usine and the nice EnergyXT. Due to their more modular approach, they are not really comparable with the products listed below.

Finally, keep in mind that this selection is indicative and subjective. And since a sequencer is as personal as a toothbrush, it would be unreasonable for you to spend several hundreds dollars on a sequencer before trying it out first. Some manufacturers give you this possibility with trial versions, others don't... which is quite a pity. In the end, it makes it harder for the customer to feel confident: would you buy a house without visiting it or a pair of shoes without trying them on? Anyways, it's your call! ;-)
