Depending on the type of group I was playing with, I would use a Yamaha CS-01 Synthesizer as a strap on...small, mini key and great analog sound...and it had a breath controller!

It didn't have MIDI but its own sound was quite fat and rich...monophonic only, but a super lead synth.

Great for bass...it had a 32' oscillator setting.

I still have it.

I also used a Casio CZ-1000 as a strap on...never used the MIDI, but, like the CS-01, it wasn't needed...the sound was great.

The CZ-1000 was also 8 note polyphonic so I could comp on it as well, although it sounded better in double or stacked mode with the resultant loss in poly(down to four).

The keys, unfortunately were not velocity/after-touch sensitive, but they were full size and the instrument was very light and easy to use in the strap on position.

It had a wicked feedback guitar patch.
