It is pretty darn wicked. I use accumulators when I want a lot of 
un/masks to happen on the same pass- such as those times when you want 
to randomly mask the gates of a particular selection of notes, the whole 
selection toggling on or off as one. I also use them to create 
interesting rolling patterns for percussion. So  you might use the 
velocity accumulator, incrementing by large, uneven chunks on each pass. 
By setting the velocities of specific steps in your pattern to high and 
others to low (just wiggle the knobs to taste), then setting the 
accumulator rules to perhaps reverse bi-polar and wrap, you find that 
the accumulation produces totally new feels/patterns (obviously this 
depends on the synth being triggered - I use my Emu Proteus 2500 a lot 
for its hand percussion, djembes, talking drums and so on) as the 
accumulation runs its course. Add a a little random masking of steps 
doing note repeats, specific 'set note' or 'set velocity overrides' or a 
few more exotic things such as altering the timebase or length of 
pattern via aux events and coolness abounds.... :)
