Awesome sounds and a fun composition. The first time I used different loop lengths was a complete mistake on my part and it was wild fun to hear the track take on a life of its own. Yours sounds very deliberate, to the point where everything works well together seemingly without effort ....which tells me you probably put a lot of effort into it to make it work.

I've played around a bunch with this approach before so this came together in  one session on the laptop.

Messing around with modular at times its the way to get more bang for your eurocrack bucks when you have 8 or 4 step sequencers with a reset. Although typically I'll do more for the rhythm components cos you can get some really cool kinda tribal feels with stuff like Euclidean sequences or polymeters.

I find the key is in the ratios you use. You definitely need something on the regular 4/8/16 to ground the rest.

There's probably some actual maths somewhere in there but then the other loops tend to sit well as primes - 5,7,11. Then occasionally you just want to reset those loops on the 16 to bring them back in line. Like herding cats

Oooo! I'm not a maths person by any stretch but your breakdown makes sense. I should try another project with different lengths, but with purpose this time! Thank you!
