Will you be spending a lot of time producing music while you travel? If so bring your elektron. I’ve traveled with a MnM with no issues. Although taking a laptop and a push sounds like fun.
I’ve walked onto planes without having to take a unit out of my backpack. I’ve also been stopped and been made to open my pelican case when traveling with multiple units. It’s a completely random experience depending on whatever. I’ve flown them a few times in multiple settings and it’s always a gamble.
To make life simple: treat it like a laptop. When you get to security, take it out of your backpack or whatever just like you would/ will your laptop. You’ll be fine.
Each time i have to get far away from studio, i only take one Elektron, just one. The one i want to improove my knowledge in it. It’s very interesting cause you can focus on the practice without the disturbing presence of other gear. So that’s the kind of period wich permit to really dig the machine you choose. Advice take the latest you get or the one you know the less.
had my OT with protective cover in a backpack Berlin - Barcelona … the spanish dude said a funny word “syntetico” … nobody seemed to be interested in my baby
!!! yes.
all went well until leaving the tulsa airport… emptied my mono 365 bag - that was all i carried.
turned out the TSA dude made beats and produced… and he was producing the TSA gal who was searching my bag.
…
sigh.
