What's up umonox?! Where are your Videos? (Elektron Octatrack MK2 Patterns included) 

thank you!

thank you very much for your kind words mate! guys like you are my motivation! you are the reason why i am so sad about being forced into this fu**in job and why im currently trying everything to get rid of it again! i hope i have success in that. stay tuned! maybe the dry spell is shorter than i fear ;-)

thanks for your kind words mate! really appreciate that. i will continue uploading Videos, thats for sure. It just takes time now ...

Your most welcome Umonox. Would be great if you can make videos of Rytm MKII, Analog four MKII as well and if possible Pioneer Toraiz SP-16 professional sampler and Pioneer DJS 1000 performance sampler. Looking forward. Thanks in advance. Best Regards DJ Jas

time doesnt buy you food and pay your bills though :-) thats why this move was necessary. have to take it slower now. let's see for how long this is still necessary. things change so often ... maybe im soon free again ;-) like you said: fingers crossed ...

Yeah, keep it up man. I luckily had some time to make that EP and naively expected to become a hit or something. Now I am looking for work again just like you did. It's probably extremely common...

😇 😇 😇 thanks for your very kind words mate! i really hope that you are right! :-) wish you a merry christmas too! and a happy new year as well! cheers mate

thank you mate. sadly im not working in music production or video design. that skill came with practice at home over years. im working as a plain IT administrator - completely different area :-D and in germany these jobs are getting more and more unattractive because a whole bunch of people who are now in their mid 30's have learned / studied in that area decades ago. the jobs promised good money and a very special role in every company and that was everything we ever wanted. but with tons of IT's to choose from these days this whole job is not exciting nor special anymore and companies treat you no better than the cleaning person or the regular office worker - except that the money is still good. through my music and because of the fact that i still dont have kids and a girlfriend to be "proud" of, i reached a point there one realises that money is just necessary and that there are so much more important things you missed - just because you always thought that the job is everything. i would call this a mid-life crisis and to some degree: its great that i feel this way! because i now know that the path i have chosen was never for me and im not too old yet, so i can still change something :-) im working on getting rid of this job already ... but i obviously have to make sure that this doesnt lead to a financial disaster first :) so stay tuned mate, i dont forget you guys! i will continue doing videos and one day - i can hopefully do this full - or at least part-time again!

Yes, brother. I understand. I figured you were in that field. My brother is in the IT and a whole wave of generations are coming in waves. I am of the pre and post internet generation...caught between generations....lost in space :)...so I understand the love of music production ( I am not as good as you are :) I like that you are thoughtful in dealing and planning of your future. I feel like you are a good soul, and a good path is awaiting for you. You are one of those enjoyable and helpful (besides making really beautiful music) presenters I look forward. Take your time with the upload, and most importantly take care of yourself ( spirit and mind) brother.

thank you very much mate. its great to hear such kind words from people who follow me. guys like you are the reason why i keep going with all of this. why i always try to make better videos - and faster :) the ladder cant be fulfilled in the current situation though and this makes me sad. but times will change. they always do :-) i keep going mate. and i wish you all the best my friend! cheers

thank you!

dont know?! maybe you werent interested in Elektron before?! ;-) thanks mate! and good luck with your ot mk2! really cant wait to hear what you carve out of it! and drop me a line on my facebook page if you need some advise - in case you get stuck. lets make the Volca Yoda become an Elektron Yoda as well! :-D Cheers mate

umonox thanks! I’ll be in touch :)

absolutely mate! but its not about being a child forever ;) its about making a living with what you love and where you put all your effort in! thats hard work too. but being forced to spend time on something, which feels useless (but brings money) is really hard, thats right! cya around william. seems like youre quite active over at Nauts these days :-D

thank you Mike! I will NOT go away !!! For sure !! I hope that times are changing quickly again. Lets see how this goes! Stay tuned :-)

very well spoken mate! but we are humans in the end. we always want to improve. for some its making money with the stuff they do, for others its getting stability in life so that they have food and warm feet. the principle is the same though ;) and time is something you never get back. we are not getting younger, just older. a job that wastes your time is therefore completely useless - and it feels even worse because you HAVE to take it! we have just one life. it feels so bad being forced to waste that precious time for nothing! first world problems - not better than real world problems ;)

umonox stay positive man , do the job and find a better one that makes being there worthwhile. The world is already full of unhappy folk, some can control it and some can't, don't be a part of it when you can help it. 👍🏻 I'm an old man with plenty of experience consisting of good and bad like most, there's absolutely no point in letting a job get you down, that is my December message to you and anybody else. Chin up, look forward

hear hear

Where is that to be found?

in the Support Section of your Elektron Account; once you registered your OT MK2. Its listed under Soundpacks after that. Takes some time to download though. Servers are not the best (Elektron is hosting this Content on another Server as they recently told us). But its really worth the wait! Cheers

Hi! Do iwners of the OT mki have access to this sound pack?

No. It's OT MK2 exclusive.

:(.....anyway, I´ll be forever grateful because we´ve got trig conditions ;)

thats fu**in bad mate! Did you at least had something to do? I wouldnt bother that much at all, but ... im often just sitting there the whole day, waiting for something to happen! 10 hours at least - if this goes on i probably get the Bore Out Syndrome in a few months ^^ Best decision you made though! Sadly i dont have the money to do the same ... :-/

I did. Hasnt worked out though ;-) Cheers
