Elektron Musical Instruments

Michael,
Here is the link to the post I made about the shotgun case:

But basically, the only alteration I made to it was remove the side
hinges and cut a small hole in the egg-crate foam in the lid to
accomodate the joystick.  I didn't cut away any foam around the
encoders - but I suppose you could.  I wanted a snug fit and it seems
to travel fine that way.  I've used the case a lot traveling to local
gigs and studios.  But as I mentioned in my original post, I wouldn't
recommend heavy duty plane travelling with it.

Incidently, I came up with a solution for heavy touring with the MD
and MM-sfx60 tabletop version.  I call it the Elektron Console:
