Uh, yeah, but it's not much of a sequencer. I'd go for Buzz. It's also free but much much more versatile. Basically, it's all you need to start making stuff and you aren't going to hit its limits anytime soon, either (if ever).
The weak point, though, is its instability/buggyness. I mean, it works well if you know how to tweak it, but for a beginner it might be a little bit frustrating.
Nevertheless, it's definately still what I'd start with. You even might not encounter any problems, it really varies a lot. Check out
http://www.buzzmachines.com/. There are a few yahoogroups as well, for instance experimental-music-with-buzz.
