Not ideal, but I needed SOMETHING
Can't say I would honestly recommend this bag. I only got it because I just got a Korg Prologue 8 and needed SOMETHING to carry it in, but I couldn't afford any of the nicer cases that would fit it and didn't want to spend over $50, so I had to find something cheap that would be functional in the meantime. It makes me nervous carrying this thing around with the Prologue in it honestly, so I will probably be investing in something nicer soon. Might be okay for a lighter-weight MIDI controller keyboard, but definitely not ideal for a heavy analog synth.

Jaw-dropping
When the Minilogue came out, I thought it was cool, but wasn't immediately sold. The Prologues came out and I barely paid attention. Then the Minilogue XD came out and got my interest, so I sprung for it at the risk of running into its limitations. Ultimately I was more impressed by it than I expected to be, but found myself frustrated with the mini keys, limited polyphony, and design choices like the filter knob being the same size as all the others and placed in a spot that would have made it easy to grab the wrong knob on a dark stage. Also, while neither the Minilogue XD or Prologue series have a high-pass filter, the Prologue at least has a low cut switch, which makes me feel better about not muddying up the mix in a live context. So, with all these considerations, I sold some pedals and returned the XD to put toward a Prologue 8, and boy am I glad I did! Dare I say it sounds even better than the XD, and the construction is solid and really impressive. I have barely spent any time with it, but am really excited to dive in! Side note: I knew I would miss the XD's sequencer, so I snagged the SQ-1 to go with the Prologue too. We'll see how that arrangement works out!

Amazing value
Really amazing analog/digital hybrid polysynth. Onboard effects sound better than expected too. I wish there was a high-pass filter on it, and kinda wish the keys were full sized and that the cutoff knob was bigger like on the original, but at this price point I'm not complaining.

does the trick
It's a DMX cable! I have limited experience with lights, but this seems to be decent quality.

A little cheap, but does the trick
Got this for my wife's Roland FA-08. Feels a little cheap and when you sit on it you hear the sound of air "whooshing" out, but not a big deal. Someday will upgrade to a better one maybe.

Beautiful cover
For my wife's Roland FA-08. Very nice! Would have appreciated some cut-out space for the back to make room for cables, but not a big deal.

Solid!
Really solid stand, and looks really attractive on stage! Some of the pieces are assembled a little awkwardly, which resulted in two tiny springs popping out and vanishing on a dark stage when I was disassembling it once. The good news is I was able to contact Ultimate Support and replace the springs pretty easily (I probably also could have found them at the hardware store if I wanted to, but I guess I'm a little OCD about making sure I have EXACTLY the right parts).

Okay for DJing
Got these because I needed a pair of lightweight, inexpensive, low-impedance headphones to use for DJing. They work okay for that purpose, and they look nice. They feel slightly cheap and the sound is not super amazing so I can't recommend them for studio use. They are very comfortable though! I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT-770s that I prefer to use for the studio.

Works great!
Got this for my wife's Roland FA-08. It supports half-pedaling, which is important for my wife since she has played piano for decades. Kind of wish the FA-08 had an option to support the two other pedals on a piano, but this is fine.

Amazing and user-friendly first workstation
I got this for my wife, who has played piano for decades and has been wanting to get into the recording/composition/production realm. I was originally considering the JUNO-DS, but felt it would be too limiting and she would be running into walls with it fairly quickly. This expands on the capabilities of the JUNO-DS without being totally overwhelming or too advanced. Sounds amazing, keys feel great, lots of great sounds and sequencing features.

barely fits!
Got this for my Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol S2 mk3. The console BARELY fits in the case and is a very tight fit. Kind of a good thing I guess, as it means it won't be sliding around in there, but slightly annoying too. Feels pretty solid though. Would have appreciated some more space for cables/etc., but there aren't many options for this controller on the market right now.

handy for a small mixer
I got this for my Yamaha MG06X mixer. Works great! Sometimes I also use it for my Roland Super-UA audio interface, or cables, DI box, etc. Gator logo is ugly, and the velcro handle is a little flimsy/awkward, but it's a decent bag.

good for cables/accessories too
I originally got this for a Novation Mininova, but I have since sold the Mininova, and now the bag is used for random cables and accessories. Gator logo is ugly, but their bags are decent, and inexpensive.

decent bag
Bag for my Ableton Push 2. Looks nice, and includes room so I can fit a stand and cables inside as well. Would have appreciated some kind of padding on the "seatbelt"-style strap, but not a big deal. Could also use a little more padding in general, but it's a small complaint.

Does what it says on the tin
Bag for my Sub 37. Does the trick, though the Sub itself is a bit of an odd shape, which makes it a bit awkward to carry in a bag like this, and the straps on the inside are kind of awkward. I think maybe someday I will invest in the flight case, but for now this will do. Appreciate the extra space for cables and whatnot.

Great deal
I've been needing some kind of basic lights to have around for shows and saw these come up on Musician's Friend Stupid Deal of the Day for $100 off, so I couldn't resist. They do some nice ambient effects, as well as some strobing, and come with a nice carrying case and remote. Very well made. I think I made a good choice for my first-ever lighting equipment purchase!
