ACCUM
to access the per-stage transpose ACCUMULATOR feature. This lets you
diatonically and cumulatively increase or decrease a stage's pitch as the sequence continues to
cycle. You can define when each transposition occurs (either on each STAGE; each PULSE; or
each RATCHET), and you can also define the amount of transposition to apply with each
accumulation, and the range over which those transpositions occur.
To edit a Stage’s accumulator value, press the Stage button corresponding to the Stage you wish to
edit.
There are two main parameters accessible by the button:
●
TRANSPOSE AMOUNT
: Turning the encoder sets the amount of transposition that occurs on
each pass. Transpose values relate to the current SCALE, and are expressed as a number of
scale degrees (°), with 0 (no transposition) being the default. Transpositions that shift into a
lower or higher octave are indicated by an exclamation mark (!).
●
TRANSPOSE TRIGGER
: Pressing the encoder cycles through the three choices for what triggers
each transposition (i.e. when the accumulation occurs). The choices are:
‘Stage’ : Applies the transposition amount each time the stage is played. This is the default
selection.
‘Pulse’ : Applies the transposition amount each time a pulse is played.
‘Ratch’ : Applies the transposition amount each time a ratchet event is played.
