Spotted on Axwell's desk in his studio.

This Instagram photo by Sebastian Ingrosso shows Axwell using the Akai LPK25 MIDI Keyboard in the studio, next to his MacBook.

This Instagram photo taken by Seb Ingrosso shows Axwell using the Avid Fast Track Duo audio interface when producing in the studio.

Axwell makes reference to his MacBook Pro with Retina Display in a tweet: "Need help, my new mac book pro retina headphone jack is making unbearable noise..."

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."

Axwell talks through the making of the Swedish House Mafia track "One" in this video interview. At 2:46 he says, "We got some chords, courtesy of Synplant... [it] makes interesting sounds."

Axwell walks through some of the synths used in the making of the Swedish House Mafia track "One." At 2:53 in the video he says, "And then we got some Sylenth Lady Gaga sounds over here... this is where the rave begins..."

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"

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

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.

The plugin can be seen 1:51 into this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSMIfiGNVPY

This screenshot from an Instagram story shows Axwell's Access Virus TI Polar synth in his studio setup. The fact that there is space to the left of the volume knob removes the possibility that it's just the module, thus it must be the keyboard version.
