Bill Laurance's Gear
The item can be seen in this video.
In a performance featured on SoulandJazzLIVE!'s YouTube channel, Bill Laurance uses the Korg Minilogue during his "Aftersun" set. This compact polyphonic synthesizer is praised for its intuitive design and onboard effects, making it an essential part of his live gigs.
At 9.36 you can see from top down, showing the Stage EX's curved sides which distinguish it from the newer Stages. And at 11.05 you can see the rear of the keyboard which visually you can see 'NORD' and 'STAGE' but it can be told that it is the EX version as there is a space between the word 'stage' and the end of the keyboard obviously to make way for the 'EX'.
At 11.50 you can see the back of the Nord Stage that he is playing, where the words "eighty eight" can be faintly seen under the word 'Stage', which immediately shows it is of the first Nord generation.
During his solo on the grand piano at 11.16 you can clearly see the word 'YAMAHA' on the grand.
At 3.20 you can spot him in the back playing the Trilogy where the name is on the back of the keyboard. If that isn't enough, at 4.15 you can see the top of it as he plays it, where the name 'Trilogy' can be seen again.
If you look closely at 0.39, you can see the name of the Juno-60 at the back in between the female cellist and another person's head. And at 2.43 you can see the top of the synthesizer, where it's bright buttons clearly give it away.
At 6.50 you can see that it is definitely a Hammond B3 due to the knobs shown.
At 3.33 the whole top of the synthesizer is shown, and at many other point during the video.
In the video it already shows him using the Steinway for his whole album (Flint) and if you check with the studio's website http://carriagehousemusic.com/#!portfolio-item/keyboards/ it shows the version of Steinway they store that he used throughout his entire album
At 3.20 and 3.31 you can see the label of the Rhodes quite clearly. He tends to use a Rhodes during many of Snarky Puppy's performances, which can be seen through their other videos to confirm this.
Here is a picture that he posted of the Roli Seaboard which he says he has been "writing and performing with".
At 27:00 you can see the coloring of the control panel that was unique to the first generation Nord Stage (not EX). You can also see the keys go from F to F indicating the 73 key (Compact) model.
In the YouTube video "A Portrait Of Bill Laurance - Chapter 3: Snarky Puppy" by GroundUP Music NYC, Bill Laurance is shown using the Roland Juno-106 synthesizer. However, this particular synth is not typically featured in his live performances with Snarky Puppy.

In this Live Rig Rundown video Bill shows his setup. At 0:58 Bill says: ... this bad boy, which is the kind of centerpiece of my solo setup, the Prophet 6 module. He still uses it in his 2023 live setup for the Snarky Puppy gigs. https://youtube.com/shorts/SyflCQJwau0?si=T4JITvWygP4GLW6s
