One of Guetta's essential pieces of gear. "...I don't change my setup, it's always the same: my MacBook Pro, my MIDI controller, and my UAD DSP Card." The UAD helps offload CPU-intensive processing from the computer, so the MacBook Pro has plenty of power to spare.

"This is probably the synth that is the most related to the music I produce and the most complete. Everything is there from classic string sounds to the most cutting edge electronic sounds. Nexus also has some really powerfull FX and arpeggios.These guys are incredible!"

Another synth I like is the Vengeance VPS Avenger, which is a little bit like Nexus, but it’s a real synthesizer. With Nexus you are limited in the way you can edit the sounds. The Avenger also has extremely well-produced sounds, so you don’t really have to do anything to them. You can modify them if you want, but they already sound crazy.
