I was able to condense the accumulator to a single module (the fabulous polycounter by alef’s bits, which is polyphonic), thereby significantly compacting the patch.

This now also allows for displaying distributions across multiple octaves (in the example shown below: Oct2, 3, 4, and 5) in a relatively small space.

Note that for this, the range of the random number input is adjusted to a range of -2V to 2V (4 octaves at 1V/Oct). Technically, random values between 1.91667V (B5) and 2V (C6) are ignored and therefore do not register.
Different octaves are implemented by setting different offset values for the ‘B’ parameter in WinComp (Venom).
For quantizers, the new setup may be less important, as they usually only have settings that apply to all octaves in the same way (one exception being Nonaquant by DanT; see below).
However, distributions across multiple octaves will be more relevant when testing random number generators.
