Cirklon Sequencer User Manual
The limit setting is the maximum value that the accumulator can hold.
Adjust the limit by turning encoder 7.
If you experimented with the step values on the “offset note rel” event you may have found
that you can set a negative offset – transposing notes downwards.
If you start from zero and apply negative offsets, then the accumulator value can become
negative.
For this reason the limit value for the accumulator is absolute – that is, the limit is for positive
and negative numbers.
For example, if you set limit to 10, positive offsets will be able to raise the value to +10 and
negative offsets will be able to lower the value to -10 (minus 10).
In the current example pattern, when the note accumulator reaches 3 octaves of transpose, it
is cleared.
The default limit of 36 gives you 3 octaves range on the note accumulator – the limit is given
in semitones.
You can set the limit anywhere between 0 and 127.
The mode setting tells the accumulator what to do when it exceeds its limit.
The default is rtz – which stands for “return to zero”.
So when the example pattern tries to increase the note accumulator value beyond its limit of
36, the accumulator value is reset to zero.
There are four possible settings for mode:
rtz - when the value exceeds the limit, the accumulator is reset to zero
clip - the value is restricted to the limit, and will go no further
rvtz - reverse to zero
rvbp - reverse bi-polar
Return to zero was explained above, and you can hear its effect in the example pattern.
The clip behaviour is the simplest – the accumulator value won’t exceed the limit, it just sticks
there once the limit is reached.
The reverse options will need a little more explanation.
Each accumulator has a reverse switch.
