Depends on the sequencer. A "piano roll" sequencer is best suited to an overdub approach, where the
basic tracks are played in real time, and other tracks are played in relation to the first track. A
loop based sequencer (such as Cubase) would seem suited to any form of repetitive music, such as
techno. Techno started as a way of utilizing the looping nature of the simplistic sequencers found
in Roland synths such as the TB-303 and SH-101, where only a minimal amount of notes can be entered
into a given sequence.
