Good luck moving forward, Cenk. You always struck me as a super nice and competent human being. In a way it seems fitting, that I just recently sold my last Elektron. Very different vibe these days, and a lot less magic.
Godspeed

People like Cenk, Ess, Olleā¦ was all of the FUN in Elektron for me. They were (and still are for sure) very inspiring and master on their favorite elektron gears. I donāt know them IRL, i still never meet themā¦ but with elektronauts and youtube i feel they were close in some degree : passion for music, live tweaking, geek fm for ess 
I donāt know to explain how i feelā¦ but each decades something disconnect or change and itās hurt. hurt less than a death for sure, but still hurts.
I guess we will have to cope with new elektron fresh bloodā¦ by learning from scratch to know themā¦ it will take some time.
Cenk aka @Dataline you will be missed as part of elektron. But youāre in my heart with a lot of buddies i respect and THAT not going to change for sure. i wish you all the best for what will be next. I hope we meet one dayā¦ meanwhile! you have all my gratitude for what youāve accomplished so far

NB: to hear more dataline music and more live performance because of more free time will be a good thing for you and us

That kinda sucks, but working for a company for 10 years is a long time and during this time every company changes. And I donāt mean in a good or bad way, just changing and adopting to the time. And for some that means time to move on.
I wondered for a long time now why the Elektron Youtube channel has been so boring, having such a genius at hand to be able to create the coolest tutorials and introduction videos on this planet. Look at how many tutorials Novation or AKAI have on their channel. Is it so expensive to do that? 
I dont really know, what was Cenks job in Berlin?
Hopefully now he can do more of the things he likes to do maybe as a freelancer for many other brands. There should be enough companies that are interested in his skills.
And Elektron like many other brands will send their devices to him and all the other youtubers like Loopop or Bobeats or Red Means Recording or whatever. Even Sonicstate seems to move on from straight product presentations as there are too many on youtube now.
Oh and thanks @Dataline for being the main trigger to go down the Elektron route.
Please only work for cool companies because I will most probably purchase anything that you show off

Gawd what is going on?? I will really miss seeing Cenk at Elektronā¦ It feels like he belongs thereā¦ Anywayā¦he will still be around. Iām really worried about Elektronā¦ They are really one of there kindā¦ Gothernman is such a tiny company and really different, cool, but not as swagged out as Elektron. I really love Elektron, if Cenk left because of the direction, this canāt be goodā¦
