Hi marc, Daniel told me that my Sisdtation is quite sick. He says the
machine seems like it's not booting at all. Something may have gotten fried,
it could only just be the power regulator though. He said it can be taken to
a local technician to see if it is only the power regulator, its an easy
part to fix apparently.

I'm just gonna send mine to elektron to get fixed up proper whatever the
problem is. It's one of my first synths so we have a bond :)
