Hi @DaveMech I am not interested in this by than your newer setup (simply because I’m not a handyman at all…) but the case you used isn’t available anymore (at least I can find one in Belgium/Netherlands/France).
The MAGMA one seems to be the best alternative but looks a bit smaller.
Could be please briefly explain how you managed the power supplies?
The magma case is a indeed not as wide. So you cannot fit a dj mixer + 2 digi boxes next to each other for example.
The power supplies I fitted under the gear connected to a power strip that’s also fitted in the case on the bottom in the back of the case. The magma case is a bit shallower but should still be possible. Think others have this as well.
For the Elektron it must be USB with PD support, otherwise there’s not enough current. A lot of chargers can do both USB-C and USB A so it’s not an issue.
For the MM2 I think you’ll need an isolator with the Bluebox, as Elektron have isolated power but most of USB-powered synths don’t
Nope
The pick foam is surrounded by a foam border that is about 2 or 3 cm itself. So the interior is closer to 85cm or something from the top of my head. But it’s close indeed. I’m going to check again if it might fit a setup with a mixer. Would be nice because those are great cases. Only downside is that it’s much heavier.
Ok that’s clearer now ! So yeah, the difference is a bit bigger. I have no mixer in my setup so I guess that shouldn’t be a problem. I need it for 3Digis+A4MK2+MM2 (and, if possible, a TD3) - I’ll keep the controller (acting as a mixer) and the MacBook outside of it anyway.
What did you mean with “Igor” ? Is that a Typo or are you speaking about something I don’t know yet ?
Yes that picture of @Sinedied triggers me too (a lot).
The three Digi’s, bluebox and two small synts (Fred’s lab, MM2 or Thyphon), or two effect pedals.
I’m checking of I could keep them in it in my studio too. That would be best of both worlds.
Magma Carry Lite XXL plus, if I’m 100% sure the lid is indeed removable.
This one seems pretty tempting… my current setup is Digitakt + Micromonsta + SoundBite Micro (and possibly a Faderfox UC4).
I’ll take measurements, but for the price and features it might be one of the best options…
Looks like the " UDG Ultimate Pick Foam Flight Case Multi Format 2XL" would be a good alternative to the Gorilla one too.

It’s designed to fit a large mixer, so it doesn’t come with foam. But the price was very reasonable. I’ll report back on how I set it up, and how it survives international travel.
yes but it’s not available everywhere (and the “MK1” version can be found cheaper - found one for 140 € which is quite similar to the MAGMA one (but bigger))
