Hehe, yep, exactly that sort of thing. Changing the amount of randomness 
over time is a great use of the Aux D accumulator as is changing pattern 
direction, timebase, transposition (different from the note accumulator, 
found under Set Step Value) etc.

Well, there are three accumulators available to each pattern but one is 
dedicated to notes, another to velocity, only one is free. However, you 
can redirect auxes from one track to another and you can grab values 
from other tracks also, which may be accumulated - and if the pattern on 
the other track is a different length or tbase, you get less regular 
accumulation effects. One thing I find very useful is setting the value 
of Accumulator D absolutely. If you make the unmasking of certain events 
dependent on accumulator D then use randomisation to set the accumulator 
exactly rather than letting it evolve relatively, you can bring in a 
number of actions simultaneously but still randomly.

That sort of thing rules... :)
