I tried loads of MIDI sequencers. One is king (by far).

Some of the early stuff like the Yamaha QX1 makes essentially zero sense to use today unless you want to impose deliberate creative restrictions. The much more advanced Yamaha QY700 is also pretty much just a relic of the past now. But some machines like the AKAI MPC 3000 are still pretty much in use today and taken very seriously especially by hip hop producers. Then there's the modern stuff by Squarp, Cirklon, Polyend, Arturia and the eurorack based stuff like eloquencer, metropolis, Rene, varigate. Can these hardware machine really be better than the software sequencers? Some small niche group of producers people still swear by Notator on the Atari ST but most people nowadays are using cubase, logic, FL studio, Ableton, reason, bigwig etc. But what about trackers like Renoise? Or hardware trackers like nerdSEQ? I discuss my experiences with everything I've tried in this video. There's a bunch of stuff I committed like the korg electribe stuff which I had fun on back in the day, and with the exception of the Cirklon, I'm not discussing anything I haven't owned or used extensively, hence why I may not have discussed your personal favorite sequencer. But I cover most of the significant ones here.
