| IX Accumulator is an amazing peer controller, 5 params in machine's window, but an impressive list of commands, 23 genial commands! Whith command 03 (set offset) and 04 (seed control), you have a perfect control of the random sequence, so Accumulator is a sort of infinite container of pattern/sequence, you can recall every thing, Accumulator is a virtual pattern/sequence editor, not a joke, but the truth. Of course, the natural combination is with Peer Trig, but with all other Peer machines, Accumulator increase seriously the power of all peer ctrl, for generative stuff, its a sort of "Graal", u can rule it in on the computer clock, also a great composition tool, 10 everywhere, and 65 535 thx to IX for this incredible thing. Buzz's slider are large (FFFE), no machines use this possibility better than Accumulator. Subtick control, a reset, and a very nice documentation!
For live, its a dream, many fun with it...
The more complex peer ctrl in Buzz gear, a decisive step for stochastic/generative music, i call Accumulator "master of chaos", or ultimate trigger, never a bmx without .Accmltr (and PeerLfo) |
