Title: flight case or gig bag
Post by: ndaustin on June 24, 2017, 03:15:46 am

Has anyone in the States managed to source a flight case or a gig bag for the Matrix Brute? Any suggestion? (Snug fit preferred)

Thanks.

There's a flight case at musicstore.de:

I purchased the Gator Cases 61 key case.  I had to add some foam to ensure a snug fit but it seems like a nice in-between solution if you aren't ready for a flight case but want something better than a gig bag.  It's got big padded straps inside that hold the brute in place very nicely.

I am using a Nord C1/C2 case and it works very well!

I looked into having a custom case made and it was a bit much for my use. i think it was around $600.

I ended up buying Gator GU-EVA-3519-3 Extra-large EVA DJ Controller Case
Utility Case with EVA Molded Shell, Convoluted Foam Interior, Padded Shoulder Strap, and Nylon Reinforced Handles - 35" x 19" x 3"

It fits quite well. few extra inches on each side. it does not have straps inside but it does not seem like it will be an issue

I will only use it a few times a year so it should work quite well for me.

I've purchased a Gator 61 key case and it's perfect. Leaves enough room to get fingers in to lift it out.
I kept the piece of foam that was under the keys and use it for transport.

Also leaves room for cables and other accessories.

Case has wheels and makes it easier to travel.

I also got a cover for it so it will not get all dusty. Also from Gator, but i flatten the MxB first or the back does not get covered. I keep everything plugged in, the cover is stretchy and has a drawstring if i want to seal it up good.

Prices on the Gator website are not what i paid. They sell for less in shops.
