There are also "trackers" out there. In its simplest form, a tracker is simply a specialized type of sequencer that allows the user to either write ( type ) or play notes into.

These notes are usually laid out in a fashion somewhat similar to what an event list or editor in a regular sequencer looks like rather than the standard piano roll format most often seen in a regular sequecner.

Other key differences vs a standard sequencer's event list are that usually a tracker allows the user to record in definitive steps ( 1/4 note 1/8 note etc ) and often note data is step entered ( not recorded in real time ).
