Aaargh, upright bass. I just never sounds bad.

This is a cool combo of sounds. Awesome glitchiness. Really like this one.

Wow, this is projecting such calm confidence. Quite a lot of subtle things happening here that work very well together. Good ambiance, the glitches are cool, the acid elements are just to taste. Very elegant.

Nitpick: some of those clicks and pops from the sample chopping sound indistinguishable from buffer underruns. I get that this comes from tooling you're using. Good news is that you can fix that in post with something like iZotope RX De-click, which is included in the cheapest "Elements" edition. It's still somewhat expensive now but Black Friday is soon. So you can get that and apply this with Audacity to the ready made file. It can be subtle enough to keep transients interesting but to lose the unpleasant digital abrasiveness.

Fixing in post is an interesting idea, thanks. Do you mean like around 00:25 and 00:27 some of those click sounds with the repeater/glitching? I should probably fix this in my original patch. Thanks for pointing it out.

Repeater glitching is fine, it's a pleasant kind of chirp, but some of those sounds have transients that are overdone. Examples: 0:17, 0:25, 0:54, 2:08. This is less of a problem when the rich percussion is in, but during solo moments I find it a bit distracting.
