Ok.
You may want to add a steady chord progression instead of using the "flank" sample only. You were just changing pitches repeatedly to try to come up with a melody line without even a bass line. Why not have the "flank" quote play less and have an actual melody line using a sawtooth. You can interject the "flank" sample as part of your fill-ins.
I suggest you run around the key of Bb minor and have progressions such as
i-i-VI-VII
i-VI-iv-V
i-III-iv-V
i-VII-VI-V
Also, add some aggressive brass and strings hitting the root on an accent like this
1-2-3-4and2-2-3-4...etc.
This way, it won't just be the same sample with altered pitch.
