Using V4 (not sure if you are?), the absolute easiest way to do this is 
to have bar 1 play 12 times and have bar 2 contain your track unmute 
event. No need of accumulators.

The thing about accumulators is that they run from 0-127 but some of the 
events you are manipulating have other scales. So there are 8 tracks for 
example and you have to divide 128 by 8 to get the appropriate chunk (16 
in this case) so that each addition to the accumulator is equivalent to 
a track. Assuming that's what you want. I'm not totally sure what your 
above example looks like, could you say what each aux row is set to, 
what the values are, I'll try to recreate it. Or try the simpler example 
above. :)
Final thoughts: make sure the accumulator limit is set to the full range 
and its behaviour is what you want too. I think that stuff is well 
covered in the manual. The accumulator is a simple counter really but 
enormously useful because of the masking events and behavioural controls.

Hope this helps.
