For years it's been on my "to do" list to make instructional videos for the Polymeter MIDI Sequencer, and after some prodding from Yoyaku, I finally made one. This video shows me setting up a bass line, using note modulation and position modulation. It's short, so there are countless things it doesn't cover, but it's a start. The track in question is "Forgive Yourself" which I made in collaboration with André Baum. I will try to find time to make more videos, and better demo files too. Meanwhile there's a slide show that may be helpful, the sequencer is HERE, and the track is HERE.
Polymeter is a free, open source MIDI sequencer for music that's in multiple prime meters (1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, etc.) simultaneously. Each track has its own loop length, and when the lengths differ, the tracks "slip" (or shift phase) relative to each other. I post development notes about it here.
