Thomann Producer Backpack

This is what I pack in this bag

Main compartment
- Elektron Analog Four with PL-2 Cover
- Elektron Rytm with PL-2 Cover

Side poket (the big one)
- 2 x power supplied

Front pocket (big one)
- 2 x brightside E-RM wooden stands. That's 2 pairs
- 2 x elektron usb cables
- 2 x patch cables
- 1 midi cable

Top compartment (upper zip / lid)
- external harddrive
- Sennheiser HD 25 headphones

Yes, the 2 elektrons appear to fit tight in the main compartment, but they slide in comfortably. Once, just once the rubber padding came off one of the elektrons while pulling it out from the bag, but then i wasn't careful enough as I was in a hurry. But that's the only thing you need to take care of. As I see it, it's a rubber pad, you can stick it back :). I use the stands anyway, so the rubber pads are least of my worries.

For this price, compactness and durability, I haven't found anything better.

I bought this backpack for my mobile recording rig, but I ended up finding many other uses for it. This comfortably fits my laptop, interface (focusrite 2i4), midi controller (Akai MPK mini mkII), cables, mics, sustain pedal, and a mouse and numpad. Granted, it was stuffed to the brim, but the point is that everything that was necessary fit inside without feeling like i was going to crush anything.

The main pocket is the best. The padding is more than sufficient and the size makes it perfect for a business backpack too. Laptops, books, and papers fit perfectly and snugly (so not much risk of unwanted folds or wrinkles).

I also use this as a gig/instrument repair bag. I drum in my current band, but I'm also responsible for bringing extra equipment for emergencies or repairs (tools, cables, strings+winders, extra mics, picks, drum felts,). This bag makes it super easy to keep everything well organized and separated by function.

My only complaint is that it tends to stick out backwards quite a bit and I've accidentally hit a few people with it. It's not the most form-fitting backpack I've had, but it's meant to protect the contents.

Awesome little backpack.
