I kinda like the sound of the digital bass. It can have a good round sound with some edge, slightly funky. There are some cool riffs like around 1:35. I was wondering through the track whether it was consistently in key though?

The track is all in G Major, but the synthy whistle howl thing that makes up the lead has some semitone going on to make it spooky and off. What part made you wonder re: key, I'm still learning all this and would love pointers

I think you are right. The bass definitely sounds firmly in G major, but the synth lines tripped me. For instance around 0:30, it sounds like the bass is directly on the G major but the synth lines at that point and the pad like synth around 0:40 seem to imply something else? I may be wrong there.

Ah yeah! The MIDI notes are in the same key, but that synth at 0:40 has an oscillator at +3 semitone slightly quieter than the oscillator at +0. For the 0:30 one the notes are also in the same key but there's another adjusted oscillator making it sound different. I think for the 0:30 one it'd actually be better without that now that I fiddle with it some. Very helpful, thank you!
