That rings so true!
The journey to create a reasonably portable version of my studio setup has been a convoluted one. I've also tried using iPad with the idea I'd take that plus a very small modular - but I so far haven't gelled with that setup as 95% of what I do is on Twitch with my big setup and that's 3 times a week. So it's almost like creating a different version of my music/performance with primarily iPad and I feel like I lose all that learning/experience I have with my main setup (like almost starting again basically) That being said haven't given up on the iPad and will probably try again with it.
The setup you see here is just about portable - it splits into two cases - one case goes in a specially designed backpack, the other goes in a hard case I can carry in one hand and the keystep pro goes in another small keyboard bag. So it's all luggable by one person - comfortably in a taxi or I reckon I could do it on public transport with a bit of an effort. I also have 2x Cat5 based connections between the cases so once I make those the only additional patching I have to do is the keystep.
All in it's about 30 mins to setup and check tuning/sound etc. Not ideal but do-able.
Thanks for your comment!
