Cirklon Sequencer User Manual
This shows that the current accumulator value:
applies to every step in the pattern
only changes when an enabled aux event puts a new value into the accumulator
If you’ve followed this so far, you may be thinking that it’s handy you could transpose small
sections of a pattern with a couple of “offset note abs” events, but it’s not exactly earth
shattering.
And you could always achieve the same thing by editing the notes.
The real power of the accumulators is only apparent when you use them in the way that their
name suggests – increasing gradually in quantity or number.
Relative Accumulation
Let’s go back to the example pattern.
Turn off any enabled aux A steps you have set, and re-assign aux A to the “offset note rel”
event.
Then set the value on step 1 of 1.
Each time the pattern plays, the four notes will rise in pitch by 1 semitone compared to the
last pass of the pattern.
Eventually, the pitch offset will disappear and the notes will play at their stored pitches.
But on the next pass, they will start to rise again.
The reason for this behaviour is because the “offset note rel” event is relative.
The aux value is added to the current accumulator value.
For the example pattern, this is the result:
Each time the “offset note rel” event on step 1 occurs, the note accumulator value is increased
by 1.
