Members J.Paul Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 I am thinking about getting an Oxygen or M-audio to trigger soft synths and loops to record while I'm traveling.My question is : what do you use for a case? They have soft cases available but that is unacceptable for travel with a semi or trailer.The local "Guitar Center" dude offered a full size hard case but the Oxygens (and M-Audios) are half the size.WTF? Don't they make hard case for these things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members eric Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 Any case company will build a custom flight case for you. Hint. Avoid the eBay case companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Lozada Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 The oxygens (and all the 25-keys controllers, btw) were designed for the laptop warriors, which really want their midi controller immediately available next to them, in a weight-less case they can take anywhere. That is why the most of travel cases will be soft. M-Audio has three models: oxygen tank, Studiopack -for computer and controllers / studiopack deluxe (with wheels). I have had mine (a studiopack deluxe) and it has lasted three years now. And it really delivers. Never had an accident with the laptop or all the gear I take with me. ... of course, if you need a hard case, I'm afraid it would be kinda difficult to find for a 25-keys model. Korg's microX includes its own hard case but it is a synth, not only a midi controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Allerian Posted August 23, 2007 Members Share Posted August 23, 2007 There is always Pelican - although it may cost more than the controller. Here's an appropriate one: http://pelican.ca/cases_detail.php?Case=1495 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could probably put them in a briefcase or any small case that had foam you could customize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was just a typoI would probably do the Key Rig 49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members J.Paul Posted August 24, 2007 Author Members Share Posted August 24, 2007 Thanks for all your responsesI really don't know what I"ll get but I DO know that I don't need a full 61 or 88 key model. I have extra pedalboards that the Key Rig 49 or Ozone will fit in.I wish my retail dude had been as articulate and informed as "Guy Lozada" had been instead of just scratching his head. I'm still getting educated as a consumer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
