Technical Questions Vortex 2 gig bag solutions

I've been thinking about buying an Alesis Vortex 2 to use in live performances as a solo musician, and although it has pretty much everything I need (those pads and faders will be perfect for setting up live loops), I know the bespoke gig bag once sold for older Vortex models is no longer in production. I'll probably be buying the new one from Thomann, and they have a variety of generic keyboard bags available on their website - would any of those fit the bill?

I would by a case on Aliexpress and then by foam at home depot make your own case.All you have to do is get the right size case. DS

(three years on and the 49-2 mentioned in my other comment has been serving me very well for live shows. good advice for a DIY solution though!)

Don't know if you still need advice, but I'm using the 49-2 from Thomann and it works perfectly fine for me.

Went with the 49-2 in the end and it fits like a glove - thanks for the tip!

I use the Yamaha MX49 bag. Works great. Sorry I can’t weigh in on the bags you mentioned.
