Great job!
Given the original was full of chords and echos, you managed to squeeze it down to just 2a03 quite well. The percussion is spot on, too.
I made a simple edit to try and make the chords a bit softer by adding some attack and extending the notes from 21-25.
Also, why don't you name your instruments? D:

Thank you for the feedback!
About your edit: The way you moved the releases in frame 21-25 makes the other pulse sound very off.
I didn't add any attack to the chord since the original FM instrument doesn't really have any attack in the volume (It does have an attack rate specified, but it so short that it just softens the key-on instead of fade in the note), but rather an attack in the tone instead, which I added in the duty cycle envelope (the first two steps are 50%, then it goes over into the main duty cycle loop).
There's no particular reason for me not naming instruments.

Ah, the part about the attack makes sense. As for the 21-25 edit, I just thought yours felt a bit too on->off->on->off so I tried moving the release but I see what you mean about it affecting pulse 2.
I really like some of the other stuff you did btw, like staggering the arps rather than a straight 0 0 4 4 7 7 11 11 as well as replicating the feel of that FM bass so well with just the triangle.
