Yeah i feel you. When i travel with the family by plane/train, i leave also everything at home, maybe bring the iPad. But in this case, the car allows me comfortably to bring a bit more.
PO32 and PO33 (+Microtonic) are my travel/train rig at the moment. Iām hoping OP-Z will play nicely with them.

I took the Monologue to Hawaii in a laptop bag, and it sat perfectly on the airplane tray. It goes for hours on batteries.

OK
this convinced meā¦iPad plus Keystep. And Digitone just because we travel by Car, otherwise i would leave it Home.

Iāll be travelling with my Digitone this weekend. 
I probably wonāt have a huge amount of time to use it, but Iām thinking Iāll have one late night where I can whip up a tune in a different environment than usual.
I agree, just take one man.
it really sets your gear in perspective and pushes its boundaries.

Digitone without hesitation, itās so small yet so versatile !
Iāve got my Digitone sequencing my iPad and itās just bliss!
Yup thats the Intention. Or have Ruismaker sequence the Digitone.

Ooooooh! Also cool! I oughta finally try sequencing my Elektrons with Modstep/Patterning
But those Elektron buttons are just SO fun to push 
I get mine tomorrow. I sold my Microbrute a couple of months ago and i have no other keysynth, only Desktops, and i miss a dedicated but small keysynth. And i am curious about it, how it compares to the Minilogue. Ppl seem to either Love/hate it.
I agree with bradleyallen. IMO, it is an instant riff machine that can beat its older sibling up any time it wants to.
I surprised myself. Heading out of town tomorrow for the weekend. I thought I was going to bring the Digitone along for late evenings (my wife and kids sleep at more sensible hours than I do). Then I started synthesizing sounds on the Digitakt the other night for fun, and now I think Iām going to bring it instead. Heavy LFO use, and using the bit reduction to make LSFR style cyclical pitched noise, kinda pushed me over the top. It hasnāt replaced the Tone as my favorite, but Iāve been having ridiculous fun with single cycles (or close to them) cut from larger samples, noise, etc. That will easily occupy my post-vacation-day-fun-pre-sleep couple of hours each night. 
I also grabbed the Nintari sample set to use the pulse trains from the 2600 set. Love that sound, and it makes some really nice basses when filtered.

I testdrived a Monologue. Nice Synth! But Not really my Cup of tea. I found the envelopes odd to use. Currently i am set on a Digitone only setup. DN is really perfect!

I agree! Though I love the DT too. So the pair is now pretty much it for me, except a completely separate modular for noodling when I have the time. Just sold off my other non-Digi non-Modular gear.
Yes i am almost there. Prophet 6 and Peak are still there though. They are too much fun and Sound too good. I am replacing the MS20M with an all Mutable Instrument modularā¦
iPad only for Journeys by plane.
In vacations, I take only one instrument. Some dedicated time is a good way to get to know it and discover new tricks.
No need for MIDI box and external keyboard, DN is self-sufficient.
Only thing I would pair it with would be some way to record tracks. My own favorite being the OP-1.

I thought the iPad to use for that but i tested iConnect Audio 4+ and i immediately hated it for its complex Software Setup. I have a Zoom H2n that should be enough for now to capture me jamming the DN for that vacation time. If Not i will scan the portable recording thread Here on Elektronauts.
Maybe add a light portable battery so that you can play outside.
In vacations, if the weather is fine, itās really good for the soul to play in the natureā¦
Which one would you recommend?
