Hi Colin,

i have a little Wish for the AuxD, and that is: MaskGate = AuxD. So
with the Wrap Feature of AuxD it would be nice, if I could turn steps
on AND off, with MaskGate > AuxD I can turn steps on, more and more,
but with MaskGate = AuxD i could set up some variations depending on
Aux D.

Just a small wish though, not so important.

Best regards,
Stoffel

Yes, and your answer solves my problem, now it is working.

Now that I understand what is happening, you should leave things the
way they are, because maybe this could be one day a cool behaviour in
certain ways.

Maybe you should mention this in the manual (or was it my RTFM problem???)

Anyway, thanks a lot for the quick answer.

I've got 'mask gate, dAcc<=n' on the TBI list, but I guess a simple
dAcc=n will be useful too.

Are you using aux D for the offset or mask events ?
The threshold uses of the aux D accumulator kind of rule out the use of
aux D for other events as the values on each step for that event will be
affected by the current aux D accumulator value. I suspect thats whats
happening to you.
If you assign 'offset aux D rel' to aux D itself, then a string of
values +1, +1, +1, +1, will translate into accumulator values of 1, 3,
7, and 15, as the amount of offset applied by each step is also subject
to the accumulator value.
To make aux D useable for events when the aux D accumulator is being
used for theshold triggering, I'd need to add a way to detach the aux D
accumulator from being added to the aux D value. I thought about doing
that automatically for certain events that were assigned to aux D, but
that could be even more complicated the understand.

So as a general rule, if your'e using the aux D accumulator to set
threshold levels, use aux A to do the offset, aux B or C for the masked
events, and leave aux D unused.

Maybe ;-)
It's alluded to, but not put quite so explicitly as it could be...
