This feels so familiar – McSequencer Step Sequencer script for REAPER

McSequencer from Arthur McArthur is a pattern step sequencer script that works very much like FL Studio's sequencer. You can drag samples into the sequencer to add new tracks with RS5K, and control most of the essential functions right from the sequencer.
This is a brand new script released in December 2023 and is actively being developed.

In this video I'll explain the basics of using this pattern sequencer for one-shot samples as well as with an external synthesizer.

If you, like me, grew up using FL Studio's step sequencer patterns, I think this will feel very familiar.

Hey thanks for posting this, Jon! Glad you dig it. Was cool to see you sequence outboard synths with it! Many more updates to come (including per-step pitch)

Just tried this out, and oh my god is it a game changer for me. I was always jealous of FL Studio guys when they could just lie down a drum loop so easily.

Can you go through the process of installation for people like me can't get it to work, please make a tutorial on how to get the GUI and how how to install the script properly.thanks in advance.

OMG I WAS LOOKING SO LONG FOR A FL LIKE SEQUENCER THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

This is awesome. I love that it uses all native Reaper components to do the sound production and items. So if you change anything in the main DAW editor view (move a track, change a volume setting, etc.), it is reflected by the sequence, pattern and instrument tracks within McSequencer. Everything is aware of everything else.

Way better than sower. I'm working with it and Mpls drum rack script... 🔥

I’m ok on my lunch break seeing this content I’m like ok ok 2024 my year watch me work

This is great! Thank you very much for finding that thing and checking it out. I'am using RS5K but build drum-maps in just one instance of the plugin and give everything a own midi note. But with McS my workflow would be much faster in the future.

Thank you so much. I was just thinking that I wanted to work with loops the way yesterday, so this comes exactly on time.

I'll have to give this a try. I haven't typically sequenced anything before.

Thank you so soooo much for this content!!!
