Bear in mind you don't have to use the complicated stuff if you don't want
to.
Once the accumulator stuff is complete, I'll do the manual section for aux
events, and a few walkthrough examples of how to get certain effects.
The LFO stuff is reasonably straight-forward. Each accumulator has a 'limit'
value, and options to set how it behaves when it reaches the limit. These
options are 'reset to zero', 'clip at limit', and 'reverse'.
RTZ is useful for up or down ramp modulations; C@L is good for fade-ins or
crescendoes that reach a limit then stop.
The reverse option sets a flag that inverts subsequent offsets. If you apply
a positive offset on each step, once the accumulator reaches it's limit, the
reverse flag is set, and the offsets are subtracted instead of added, so the
accumulator falls again. When it reaches the lower limit, reverse switches
again, and it goes back up again. This gives you a triangle wave modulation
of the accumulator target (note, velocity, or aux D). Or if you use a
sequence of different offset values, you can get other modulation shapes.
Hopefully Paul N will post some mp3 samples of this behaviour sometime -
he's playing with an alpha version at the moment and seems to be enjoying
it. The UI isn't quite there yet though.

Cheers,
Colin f
