Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Another alternative could be to transport some of your equipment in a 
mixer case or guitar pedal case lined with a velcro bed. A used mixer 
case or guitar pedal case should be resonably priced and transporting 
in such would save time setting up. Another concern to consider is 
that of attaching velcro to your beloved toys. The adhesive on the 
velcro isn't particularly reliable and removing it is even more 
fustrating. So what I've done for a bunch of guitar pedals was to run 
some plastic cable ties through the velcro and then attach the cable 
around the unit. For larger units you'll need to chain a couple of 
ties together, as well as, have enough velcro to cover the necessary 
surface area of the unit. I'll admit it seems a bit of extra work 
just to get everything setup but it does hold together somewhat 
nicely and it is better then having that yucky adhesive stuck to the 
pedal.
