That's easy to do at a software level, but trickier to find the UI for.
FUNC+rotate already has a purpose, and the last space for a softkey in
pattern edit mode is going to become 'note rng', for setting the base
note and range for pitch entry.
Need to think about it...

The processing of accumulator functions is quite code and processor
intensive, so I chose to limit the aux accumulator to aux D only to
avoid making the clock pulse handling code too big and sloppy.
An aux accumulator on aux A would be somewhat pointless anyway, as the
auxes are processed in order with A first, so there is no aux in front
of A to do the offsetting before A is processed. That's also the reason
why there is no mask or randomize events that apply to aux A.
If you despearately want more aux accumulation on a single track,
remember you can always use another track's aux D with accumulation, and
grab values from it.
Or wait for P4, which will have much, much greater processing power than
P3. If I ever get time to do P4... I've only got as far as buying the
dev board for the candidate CPU.
