The accumulator is increased/decreased each time it is called. So if
you have a pattern that is 4 steps long and step one is a rel
transpose of +1, each time the pattern plays it will transpose by a
semitone. If you put a transpose of +1 on step 3 also, it will go up
at that point in addition to the previous increase.

Try masking the transpose events, perhaps by randomness, and see how
interesting it can get. Remember each step can transpose positive or
negative in the same pattern and you can use X to prevent
transposition of certain steps. Tip: if you do everything with FTS
active, it might be a good idea to apply the FTS to the pattern data
so that when you choose the steps to X you don't get stuff that's out
of tune.
