    Hey Jeremy! It hit close to home when you said this was serving as a form of therapy for you when things get tough in your life. Music has always helped me out and your channel has definitely lightened the load on my mind over the last few years.
    Thanks for the consistently awesome content and I hope things improve for you. Hang in there!
    Love from Canada

      I can also relate. I am a single dad with Autistic twins. I have a channel also but it’s been kind of dead for a few years as depression and fatherhood took its toll on me. I’m doing better now and coming back to making music as I remember how it use to make me feel(good) and how much of an escape it was.
      I hope everyone who sees this video or even this comment that may be suffering in some way now knows that whatever they are going through, they’re not alone. As a community, as good stewards of the human race and as sufferers ourselves, let us be beacons to those in the storm.

      Jeremy !!! thx for all the work goes into your channel. I hope things are better/clearer now. ​
      8-Bit Heart, Jeremy, popov, Ben , cuezzlreekaa, hugs all around if you choose so. I feel you all, even though its months later. I have had my mininova in a bag packed away, always finding excuses not to get musically/tonally creative. Too weak I have felt, even though it would have surely helped! Yesterday I felt daring enough to spend the most amount spent on anything in a long time on a digitone. Some life got back into me doing that, spending that much just on pleasure isn't an easy thing, especially in these (epidemic) times, Yet as we have that luxury, we shall never forget to go through hard-ache, as there will be another day where a key press, a knob twist makes us shiver. Keep going ... we will all smile and laugh out loud soon again. Keep noodling, keep twiddling - often!

    Great video, as always, and sorry to hear you’re going through a rough time, As a therapist in real life (whatever the hell that is), there’s been many a time I’ve recommended creating music or art to clients, and I’ve been known to dive into our creative studio myself when life gets crazy. So, I totally believe in the therapeutic value of music and creation, and props again to you for turning your pain into something valuable to so many of us.

    Thanks - this video was literally exactly what I needed right now, it's so chill watching you fiddle with things and make neat sounds, like a hug of synthesisery goodness when you need to take a moment out from stressing over everything, need to make some time to sit with the Push for a bit and make some noises myself - hope you're doing alright as well

    My synths remain the best therapy ever. Sound design wipes away depression, and especially anxiety--focusing on a specific task can free the mind, you know? . :) Elektron truly nailed it with this and the Digitakt, finding that sweet spot between complexity, and ease of use.

Not to mention other superb bits of kit from Electron like the brilliant Electron table top synths, the Digitakt, Analog heat, Analog Four MK2, Octatrack Mk2, the Akai One, Akai Force, & many more fantastic Synths out there, I can't wait till I've saved up enough to treat myself to something like the Digitone! Have fun guys.
