Extract text from lighting and music projects (SEQUENCE)
To convert SEQUENCE project files to another format, you need xLights or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Sequencer Project File" file type, you need software like xLights or a similar tool.
A .sequence file acts as a project container that stores timing instructions, automation data, or musical notation. Most commonly, it is an XML-based file used by xLights, an open-source sequencing tool designed to synchronize custom RGB holiday light displays to audio tracks. Alternatively, it can store digital music project data for MuseScore or web-based tools like Online Sequencer.
The core disadvantage of a .sequence file is that it is highly proprietary and strictly a project file, not playable media. You cannot open a .sequence file in standard media players like VLC, nor will it play natively in web browsers. Furthermore, the file does not actually contain audio; it merely points to local audio files on your hard drive. If you share the .sequence file without the linked MP3 or WAV, the recipient will experience a silent, broken project.
To make this data usable, conversion is mandatory. For sharing music or audio online, export the project to an MP3 or WAV. If you need to edit the musical notes in a standard Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) like Ableton, convert to MIDI. For xLights users, lighting sequences must be exported to .FSEQ for hardware controllers, or rendered as an MP4 video to share the visual show on social media.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our SEQUENCE converter.
