I like the fixed measure width sequencer in FL Studio that basically like a Roland drum machine

I just don't like the MIDI sequencer in Ableton Live.
Is there a VST plugin I can use in Ableton Live that acts as a small sequencer?

i think Guru has that. it's 3rd party and you have to buy it though.

I don't mind 3rd party or buying it..
Guru may be a bit complex for what I'm after, but well work looking at, so much appreciated.
I wish the FL sequencer would easily send MIDI so I could load it as a VST.

Any other ideas anyone?

All you'd need is a sequencer style plugin that supports multiout and loading samples. I'm pretty sure Audiorealism's Drum Machine allows this.

I don't care if it supports samples.
I want to use a 3rd party VST sequencer to control Abletons instruments, so it just needs to load as a VST and send MIDI to Ableton Live.

Have you seen the max 4 live video?
It will come with what seems like a great step sequencer, if you want to wait that long.

perhaps izotopes idrum would suit your needs?

Please not, I'm sick of FL...!!!

But I would like to see a Reason-Matrix like sequencer with envelope/gate functions and
the possibility to connect it with an effect, to make some sequenced effects too.
A kind of AudioDamage BigSeq2 just with Ableton and/or VST effects.

..., just a suggestion!

These are nice ideas, but they seem like they send send audio only.
I want to send *MIDI* to Ableton Live , and be able to write sequences that have pitches. Drum centric one probably send a single note. The sequencer should be able to control drum ample sin Ableton Live or Simpler, or and VST I have loaded in Ableton Live.

I'm looking for just a simple sequencer, that just send it's MIDI out to Ableton Live.

I guess what I'm after is a MIDI step sequencer, that also has piano roll capabilities on each channel.
Quite similar to what FL does.

Anything?

Sorry I don't have the answer but I too want something exactly like you're describing. I think some people are misunderstanding you

Anyway, on a related note, anyone know if I could sequence Ableton sounds/instruments (and Reason's too, for that matter), with my Alesis MMT8:

It's been sitting here collecting dust for like 15 years since I got rid of all my hardware.

I hope it still works, really haven't made any good music since I've stopped using hardware. Maybe this would bring back some good times.


STRATEGY

u can use fl studio as a plugin.. and load ur vst within it i think

Fl Studio plugin sends audio, but not MIDI. Close though!

As was mentioned, Max for Live will have a sequencer like this that loads as a device in Live.
