Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

I use two things... I've got an M-Audio studio pack for my powerbook, 
audio interface, small mixer, cables, tea bags, caffeinated mints, 
jbirds, etc.

I've also got this camera bag... it's well padded with ceramic inserts 
on the bottom and sides to resist punctures.  I bought a ton of that 
dense gray packing foam, and essentially made a custom carrier which 
holds my evolver, drum machine and a couple other small pieces of kit.  
It's about the same size as a sport bag / duffel bag.

I'd recommend this route... it takes a little planning, but it's 
rewarding in the end.  Find a big bag store and find a sturdy camera 
bag that's got "one big pocket" and customize.

I can't speak highly enough of the m-audio studio pack either... it's 
so much space, and so rugged.  Not exactly clandestine though...

I haven't yet figured out what the heck I'm going to do about 
transportation of the monomachine.  Weird shape + semi-delicate seeming 
joystick = pretty custom bag requirements.
