About

Seq is a very unusual music sequencer. In Seq, you write chunks of music, then put combine and modify them in certain ways, then combine the combinations, and so on, until you reach a final song. Seq has many ways to combine stuff, everything from simple ordered series to complex networks (automata).

Seq is written in pure Java. It runs on MacOS, Linux, and Windows.

This is an early release of Seq, and it's got lots of wires sticking out here and there, is missing important items, and has bugs. And you have to build it [we'll get binaries latter]. But it works!

Install and Run Seq

Seq has to be built from source for the time being:

Install the libraries found in the libraries folder
Go into the seq directory and run make
You can run Seq as java seq.gui.SeqUI

Seq should probably run on Windows, MacOS, and Linux, but we have primarily developed it on MacOS.
