Vortex Sound Research

Ok so… I’m trying to get a lot of stuff to work together and I just can’t seem to have a clue on how to make it work… perhaps you can help me and offer proposals on how to do it?

I currently have my Drumbrute impact clocking my Opsix doing pads and that one is clocking a bassline on my Monologue, this one is sending sync out to a Make Noise 0-ctrl+0-coast+Strega making a melody

Is there an easier way? Seems like whenever I use the roller on the drumbrute the sounds have this “swelling” sound that I can only attribute to signal attenuation or something like that, am I just connecting everything inefficiently? I have Ableton live for recording but I have never used it to sequence anything
