Deadmau5's Gear
In this video, deadmau5 can be seen playing a lead sound using the Waldorf KB37 Keyboard. The modules installed are the Waldorf NW1 and the Waldorf mod1. He says:
Little more context... nice lead machine! #waldorf
Which refers to a previous Instagram post where he says, "Loving the sounds coming outta the #waldorf nw1 on the kb37 rack... must dig deeper."
On Splice's website Deadmau5 says of his sample pack,
"Chimaera is a collection of ideas and stuff spanning over 6 years of me fucking around in the studio."
A CS-8 can be seen towards the right of the rack shown at 3:06.
In this old U-stream Joel says; "I use this alot, it's the OTO mix-it but it's called well... Biscuit or biscuit because they're French or something I don't know. But it's got just 2 inputs, 2 outputs, It's like an effects processor basically! But it's like a wicked hardware based, well it's DSP for sure, but it's like a bitcrusher, downsampler, waveshaper and a filter all in one. It's got this cool delay on it that you can tap in which gives it a unique little bitcrush delay sound. It's fucking awesome. I don't think it's $600 but it's worth it because I've used it a lot, just on little things."
Deadmau5 uploaded an image demonstrating the new Cube setup for Creamfields 2019. Reposted by Ritchie Hawtin and added to Deadmau5' story is an image including the Playdifferently Model 1.
He states at 8:47: "So here I'm using the Vienna Version Cube. It's just another component to add to our arp here."
Throughout this video, Joel showcases and explains the features of his own custom software named OSC/Pilot, a computer program that can create touch-based control devices for OSC and MIDI.
