me too, man. I've been transporting it in its cardboard box for now.
which is tedious to pack/unpack and doesn't offer much protection.

and yes, the joystick is pretty delicate; I've already replaced mine.

I've been looking around for different options. the best I've come up
with is the Pelican 1750 (for about $160-ish) and a straight-up ATA
flight case for $250. the Pelican is better because its cheaper and
keeps moisture out (which is good in humid-as-hell Ohio where I live),
but the foam is not the pull-and-pluck type. so it will take a bit of
work to get something to shape around that joystick. the ATA case would
be custom made to fit the synth (including joystick cutouts), but is
heavier and costs much more.

hmmm.....what to do....

please let me (and the Elektron-users group) know if you come up with
something :-)
