Cirklon Sequencer User Manual
In pattern edit for the example pattern, use ROW to select aux A.
The press, hold and turn ROW twice to access the group list, and select the “Accumulator”
event group, then select the first event in the group - “offset note abs”.
Using step encoder 3, enter a value of 5 for the event.
The next time the pattern passes through step 3, you will hear the pitch of all following notes
in the pattern rise by 5 semitones.
From first starting the pattern playing, the result is like this:
For the first two steps after starting, the pattern plays the notes just as you’d expect.
After the first time step 3 is reached, the notes all rise in pitch by 5 semitones.
What has happened is simple.
The “offset note abs” event puts the aux value into the note accumulator.
At step 3 in the example pattern, a value of 5 is put into the note accumulator.
This value will remain in the accumulator until a new pattern is selected, or Cirklon is
restarted.
All notes played by a pattern have the current note accumulator value added to them.
So all the notes in the example pattern are raised by 5 semitones after step 3.
It doesn’t matter that the pattern reaches its last step and repeats – the accumulator value will
remain.
As an experiment, with the pattern still playing, change the value for aux A in step 1.
You will hear the pattern continue with the same notes until it passes step 1, at which point a
new value is put into the note accumulator, so the following steps will all be transposed by
the new amount.
That is, until the pattern reaches step 3 again – where the number 5 will be written back in.
Turn off aux A on step 3, and only the value from step 1 will apply to the notes.
