Elektron Musical Instruments

We've all been there.  As someone else suggested, take a break.  Go for 
a walk, read a book, go drinking with friends.  Just don't think about 
music for awhile.  I always find it goes in cycles where I'm either 
making music or listening to music (other people's, not my own.)

It's the whole "you get out what you put it" aspect of creativity.  You 
need stimuli to produce.  You can't just create for creation's sake.

Also, be sure you save all the patches you think are "horrible and 
bad."  In a couple weeks you may go back and find they were actually 
pretty neat.

After you lose some data it's also best to never approach the situation 
with "I'll recreate it all" attitude.  Just have fun, that's where 99% 
of the good stuff comes from anyway.
