The aux controller to 'transpose by track n', will allow you to have any
other track's current note value 'added' to the note value for that
step.
So setting up a pattern on track 2, with 'transpose by track 1' on every
step will give you this effect.
Or you could use track 3 as the 'summed' track, and alternate between
transposing from track 1 or 2, and do very weird stuff.
Or use all 4 aux controllers to add up to 5 tracks together.
