In 5:26, if you pause the video at the right moment and look very closely at the bottom left of the laptop then you can barely but definitely see Axwell using Omnisphere with Swedish House Mafia on his Laptop. The image proving it is also here: http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/ZD8rXIR4/file.html

ATC Loudspeakers SCM200ASL Dual 12-inch Professional Active Studio Monitor
Active & Passive MonitorsThis screenshot from Axwell's Instagram story shows the ATC Loudspeakers SCM200ASL installed in his studio.
In this screenshot from an Axwell Instagram story, his M-Audio Keystation 49es MIDI Controller can be seen. Judging by its placement underneath his display, it's likely his primary keyboard controller.
The black strip above the keys identifies it as either the 61 or 49 key version, but the spacing above the keys to the top of the unit more closely matches the 49es model.
Axwell says "I used NEXUS on my track ** "I Found U" ** for the piano sound, and I really like the simplicity of NEXUS, it's easy to find the sound you want and then, with the filters, it's easy to get it to sound exactly how you like."

In a Swedish House Mafia interview, Axwell explains what they used Melodyne for in "One" at 8:50 in the video: "Yeah, we did a lot of Melodyn-ing on the vocal, because we didn't have much to work with. It was just a few phrases that we had to sort of build our own melodies."
Axwell gives a testimonial on SynthMaster on the SynthMaster official website. He says,"Love SynthMaster's sounds and the fact that they are already treated and not dry"
The plugin can be seen 1:51 into this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSMIfiGNVPY

In this video (in 0:19) you can see Axwell using Pioneer Rekordbox.
Rekordbox™ is the best way of preparing and managing your tracks, be it at home, in the studio, or even on the plane! It allows you to import music from other music management software using the Bridge function or by simply adding them into the software for management. Rekordbox will work out the BPM and allow you to set hot cue and loop points into the track, utilizing a full beat grid view in advance, as well as color coding your music and adding all the ID3 information so it appears automatically later on any rekordbox enabled Pioneer DJ player.
