In an article from beatportal, Alle is asked what's currently used in his studio, he responds, "The core of the studio is a Mac Pro with Logic and a Protools HD II system with a couple of Digidesign 96 interfaces connected to some analog and virtual-analog stuff, such as a Moog Little Phatty, Voyager, Nord Lead 2x, Virus TI, Yamaha CS1x, Sherman Filterbank, and so on. There are also lots of virtual instruments, and then to monitor we use a TL Audio Fat Track and a couple of ADAM S3As."

Stargate's work is almost entirely 'in the box', but they keep a few rackmounting synths and samplers around.
