The stutters in the bassline are too overactive for me. Love the over all groove but it gets cut up so much that it takes away some of the energy. The angelic arps in the background are really nice. Also nice use of mixig it up so things don't get too stagnant. I think the drums could be a lot more punchy and impactful to great effect.

This is really well done, but I'm missing a sense of urgency - maybe if the tempo slowly increased as the piece built?  Or more aggressive mixing as it got further in?

All of the fills are really excellent in this track, and of course the main groove rocks too

Many things happening here without "overpowering" the listener.

My entry for the KVR Audio One Synth Challenge #186. Made in Bitwig with Geonkick, SurgeXT, and Kilohearts Essentials Gain & EQ plugins.

Made For KVR OSC 186 Any 2 Synths - I used Nakst Apricot - 15 Instances and Odin 2 - 1 Instance
DAW Mulab 9.5
DAW Fx: limiters, High and low pass filters, parametric eq, stereo splitter.
Third Party Fx: analyser - Voxengo Span, Voxengo Marvel GEQ.

Basically I was unable to take part in the Apricot round, so this was my chance. It's based around a 5 beat arpeggio I created with this synth. I thought I might use more of Odin 2, but ended up using it just for the snare.
This track is dedicated to my lovely Jenny who in spite of many current ailments managed to walk several miles of difficult coastal path to get the photo of a waterfall for my cover pic. :)
