Deadmau5's Gear
in this live stream at 4:59:06 you can see in the VST Instruments tab that one of the instruments is called Minimonsta_vstwin_x64 (the tab itself is called MiniMonsat)
This Snapshot was taken from the Deadmau5 Masterclass, proving that Deadmau5 is using this Plugin

In this video on Instagram, Joel is shown to have a Roland Jupiter-8 Synthesizer. He captions the video:
"Love it. Keeping it forever."
In this Instagram photo, you can see the Eau Clair Thunder in the center of the desk among 2 other Dwarfcraft devices.
An iConnectivity Mio 10 can be clearly seen on the rack.
4:21, "VST Kontakt 2; VST plug in can't be be found."
The item can be seen above the Burl DAC/ADC converters.
I saw on your Twitter feed that you just upgraded your monitors to the PMC IB2S.
Those are actually really great, fking amazing for the price. I’m in a weird room right now, and I’m doing some modifications to it and putting paneling up, though with this room I’m been pretty damn lucky because the bass goes right through it and doesn’t bounce back and cause bullsh*t pockets. But I’m still having a little bit of trouble with the mids and the highs because of a rounded ceiling above me. The PMC speakers are really tight, and I can hear like 40Hz at really low volume, which is really important because I don’t like really piercing-loud sh*t. I like clarity and transparency and comfortable listening levels; I don’t want to walk away from the studio at my ears ringing. But it’s true what they say: The speakers are only as good as the room they are in. The room is 70 percent of the sound when it comes to engineering, so I’m retrofitting this guest room in this house to disperse some reflections.
In this instagram post, Deadmau5 posts a Moog Model IIIp synthesizer.

Yay! I've always wanted one of these, but they were so hard to find in good condition. Seems Kong [sic] found a solution :)
At one point the Pioneer EFX-1000 was part of Deadmau5' live show.

Deadmau5 posts an Instagram video clip of 4 Moog Slim Phatty synths synchronized together. He says:
"Ah, lovely. After a lengthy calibration, I managed to get 4 slim phattys to sing nicely together :) @moogsynthesizers"
"Dat API. Doing magical things to my drum bus. What a difference!"
Deadmau5 tweets about using BOXX laptops and is seen using the 2650 in this picture.
"I got Strobe over here doing the sine wave, and then it's going to this..." (1:22:09) At the same time as he mentions it, Deadmau5 opens an instance of Strobe from Synth Squad on-screen.
Approximately 10:16 into one of Deadmau5's live-streamed performances, he displays the Firewire feature of his 828 to the camera. (The video has been blocked for copyright infringement for some viewers, so a photo of Deadmau5 holding the 828 up to the camera can be found at https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=553616544748796&set=a.273412076102579.58803.271157146328072&type=1&theater .)
At 1:22 Joel shows his Moog Voyager Rack.
Deadmau5 mentions that he is using this preamp at 9:50 saying, "Yeah, it's the PRE-73 G.A.P. I Love it. It's actually a really good preamp. And it's cheap, which is a bonus."
Joel shared a picture of his first midi controller, this Phat Boy. "Unpacking and organizing all my gear, just found the first midi controller I ever bought... Man, we've come a long way. Eternally grateful."
"Aaaactually, imma go for this... Pittsburg modular fella !"
