A Cwejman MMF-6 appears at 0:13 near the bottom center of Deadmau5's modulation rack.
The Fixed Filter bank 41B is seen in Deadmau5's modular.
Deadmau5 uses a pair of GoPro cameras to film his coffee runs with other artists.
Make Noise's Pressure Points module is visible on the right side of the Deadmau5's modular in this video he posted.
The Tiptop Audio Z-DSP VC-Digital Signal Processor is seen in the lower middle section of Deadmau5's modular synth.
In this photo of one of Deadmau5's modular synthesizers, the Make Noise Maths module is hiding two modules to the right of the grid of green lights on the left.
This plugin appears at 2:37:53. A previous submission attempt mentioned that this was opened as a screenshot; however, if you look closely, you can see him clicking on the wrench icon, which opens the plugin's window directly (instead of the previously proposed screenshot).
Deadmau5 shows his NVIDIA Quadro 5000 installed to his custom PC aside his RedRocket-X in this facebook post.
Joel uses the Vaddio PowerVIEW HD-22 camera for his streams. It can be seen on his desk in this video, most of his streams, and in pictures on his Facebook page.
This power conditioner can be seen in the bottom of the left rack in Deadmau5's desk.
"Took the DJI phantom 2 out on the lake today with @sduda8... Lawls ensued. http://instagram.com/p/qvjt-JOxyv/ "
This camera controller can be seen on Joel's desk to the left. Joel uses this to control his cameras while streaming.
"192 channels of I/O via optical MADI from D.O.Tech to the RME HSDSPfx extreme. A/D Conversion porn!"
Joel shared a picture of this switch to his Instagram account.
deadmau5 uses DJI drones as a hobby to film in Toronto, as the title of the video says "first S1000 filming" he uses the DJI Spreading Wings S1000 for fun...
This Modcan module can be seen in the third unit on the top row.
http://www.modcan.com/bmodules/scanner.html Just above Joel's laptop screen you can see the device with two small lights on it. It has the correct characteristic of the large knob with two smaller knobs above it at the 11 and 1 o'clock position (coincidently looking somewhat like a mau5 head). The jacks can also be compared showing the 2-3-4-4 arrangement from top to bottom.
http://www.modcan.com/bmodules/efollower.html Just above Joel's laptop screen there are two small lights (on the Scanner 69B), to the right of that device are two Envelope Followers which have the unique characteristic knob positions of 2 Medium sized knobs on top then 1 Medium on the Left then a small knob below it also on the left and finally another medium knob diagonally to the right. There are no other Modcan B series devices with these knob positions.
http://www.modcan.com/bmodules/phase.html Just above Joel's laptop screen there are two small lights (on the Scanner 69B), to the left of that device is a Phase Shifter which has the unique characteristic knob position of a "C" shape with 4 jacks in the center of the "C" . There are no other Modcan B series devices with these knob positions.
http://www.modcan.com/bmodules/904A.html Just above Joel's laptop screen there are two small lights (on the Scanner 69B), above that are a second pair of small lights. To the left of the second pair of lights is a 904A which is characterized by a 2-2-1-1 knob arrangement with the single large knob in the 3rd row with the single smaller knob in the 4th row offset to the right. What makes this certainly a 904A is the arrangement of the jacks at the bottom, a row of 1 and 4 respectively. No other Modcan B series device has this arrangement.
http://www.modcan.com/bmodules/switch.html In the upper left corner of the video in the upper left corner of the modular cabinet there is a single illuminated light. It is the Modcan Switch 56B with the distinctive 1 medium knob above a smaller knob then a toggle switch. Below are 4 pairs of jacks with lights on the two upper pairs.
In the bottom left corner of the modular cabinet just to the right of the 4VCA is the distinctive shape of the Boolean 24B, 3 jacks with a light in three successive groups with 2 pairs of jacks at the bottom.
Deadmau5 is featured on the Loopmasters website where he provided a brief review of DJ Mixtools 02 - Swedish House.
In this Instagram video parodying music production, Joel shows off his synths. Among his huge collection of synths, we see a Moog Sub Phatty sitting atop of a Fairlight CMI.
In the description, you can read all the technical details of the video posted by Deadmau5:
"man, i really hate the compression on this. anyway, before all the questions: shot in 5k @ 96fps with a RED Epic, zeiss 50mm prime / Canon 70-200 and literally destroyed to all shit by crappy WMV compression to "1080p" because it kept crashing whilst i was trying to render a mildly compressed QT format. oh you, technology, youre so shitty sometimes."
"At least these might be enough to eliminate some of the patchwork. God bless you SSL!" - via Instagram
