Overview

The Analog Cases UNISON Case is a professional-grade protective enclosure tailored to the dimensions of the Korg Wavestate. Unlike generic soft bags, this case utilises a hybrid construction of aluminium framing and black laminated wood panels to provide rigid structural support. It is designed to bridge the gap between heavy, cumbersome flight cases and lightweight but vulnerable gig bags.

Construction and Protection

The primary strength of the UNISON case lies in its aluminium framing, which provides impact resistance along the edges and corners. The interior is fitted with custom-cut foam inserts specifically shaped to house the Korg Wavestate, ensuring the instrument does not shift during transit. Protection for the synthesiser's top panel—which includes various knobs, buttons, and the screen—is provided by a layer of shell foam integrated into the lid. This cushioning is critical for preventing mechanical damage to the interface.

Features and Utility

For practicality, the case includes a dedicated internal storage compartment for cables and power supplies, keeping all necessary peripherals in one place. The exterior features robust metal latches, which are optionally lockable to provide an extra layer of security for the synthesiser. One of the most significant design choices is its weight; the case is engineered to be one-third the weight of traditional road cases, facilitating easier transport for touring musicians and producers.

Comparison to Alternatives

When compared to traditional road cases, the UNISON case offers a significant weight advantage without sacrificing the structural integrity of a hard shell. While soft bags like the Gear4Music drum bags or generic instrument carriers offer lower weight, they do not provide the aluminium-reinforced protection found here. For violinists or cellists, brands like BAM offer specialised cases such as the Artisto or New Trekking series, but for electronic synthesisers like the Wavestate, the UNISON series provides a bespoke fit that generic cases cannot replicate.
