Sound design question - bass note pitch bend

I’m trying to recreate this “rolling” bassline using my DNII. In the video he’s using pitch bend automation to give sustained bass notes a bit of life.

I’ve gotten close-ish by applying an LFO to tune and triggering on a per-trig basis. I’ve also gotten some movement by placing trigless trigs after the note and p-locking tune to move up and down across these steps.

Despite my best efforts I’m still not getting there. Thoughts on how to replicate this pitch-bending bassline more accurately?

Try combining portamento and legato across trigs. Disable envelope reset.
