Aphex bank - Fours and sixes

I was really inspired by this weekends Hardware Jams challenge. The idea was to only use up to six steps per sequencer. The main riffs in this track are made of two, very slow, four-note synths (Pro 3 and Digitone) accompanied by two six-note phrases (Peak and Digitone), both playing at different speeds. They are all in the scale of C Harmonic Minor, and when they rotate they create some lovely harmonies and inversions. The breaks are all very short at only four notes long, with a triplet Kick and second note snare from the Syntakt, which are being heavily compressed and filtered through the OTO BOUM. Finally, there is an acid line, with a count of five-notes, that creates that nice off kilter rhythm. Bonus points if you can guess who the vocal sample is from… lol Enjoy.
