"I'll always love my Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones."

Damn. It's a shame you're dead! Rip dirtbox (Testament,Between Friends etc)

A gift from Akai to Flying Lotus.

3:15 into his interview with Dubspot, Flying Lotus can be seen using an Akai APC40 and looking determinedly at his screen. It appears to be a modified version of this photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnut1/3625585665/

FlyLo posted this Vine of him using the Push as a surface to play other sound toys on. Nevertheless, he has this to say in an interview with Electronic Musician Magazine on his recording of "You're Dead":

"And one of the reasons I like Ableton’s Push controller is it has a real inviting Star Trek vibe to it, so anybody who knows a little bit about production feels comfortable quickly and can get on it in conjunction with whatever I’m doing.”

Here's another picture of FlyLo's studio with an Ableton Push on his desk.

there is no artist explanation just picture proof

A big component of Flying Lotus' live setup is this Akai MPD32 controller. It can be seen in almost every photo and video of him playing live.

For a while the M-Audio Trigger Finger was a part of Flying Lotus' live setup, but after 2008 the Akai MPD32 seems to be his controller of choice.

Possibly a part of Flying Lotus' live setup at one point, he tweets "ever use a monome? Yes. Had one."

One can see two photos of the Space Echo RE-201 in this collage of Flying Lotus's home studio.

Before I got the XL-Desk, my biggest issue was always how to make my music more dynamic, with even more space in the sound and defined bass—how to widen the 3D field. That’s something I’ve been battling. I’ve wanted the analogue warmth for so long, and I’ve always wanted the analog depth. I wanted to see how far I could take it. When I hear my music through the XL-Desk, it has a natural sound to it, it sounds real. Once you actually hear your music through the console, you get addicted to it. There’s so much more room now. It makes me feel the openness. I can do some really cool stuff that I never did before. I can run these analogue 500-format modules and I’ve been able to get really creative with patching in a way that I never thought I would. I’m able to route things in a really interesting way. The sound is different, man. There’s a lot more space and you get a lot more headroom as well. Using it has also been helpful in ways that I didn’t expect. Having balanced subwoofer control is really good and the iJack has been great, too. It is a lot of little things like those that have been awesome about the desk. Things happen a lot faster when everything is in the desk. I would toil on the computer forever, but when it’s actually on faders, everything just makes sense a lot quicker. And there’s a more hands-on feel to it—it’s a beautiful thing."

Some time in October last year Adam came thru and pointed his camera at me and said. “Go”. This is how the beat for “spontaneous” came to be. My dog iko made a lil cameo... Link in bio

According to Spectrasonics Flying Lotus used both Keyscape and Omnisphere on his latest album Flamagra.

Flying Lotus used to primarily produce with Reason, but later made the move to Ableton Live. It would seem he still uses Reason in some capacity.

Flying Lotus uses Ableton both to produce and for his live show. This is what he has to say about it in an interview: "I highly recommend Ableton live for people. I feel it’s the most forward thinking stuff out there."

You can see this pic on wikipedia. It shows his studio equipments during the recording of his album "Until the Quiet Comes"

Flying Lotus has gone back and forth between these M-Audio BX8 monitors and monitors by Dynaudio.

These Dynaudio BM6A MKII monitors can be spotted in videos and stills of Flying Lotus' studio setup.

His home rig includes Focal Professional Twin6 Be threeway active nearfield monitors, an Access Virus TI synth, a sticker-encrusted Akai MPK49 USB/MIDI performance controller, and the Ableton Push controller. Keyboards include Moog Voyager, Fender Rhodes, and Wurlitzer electric pianos, as well as a Gibson guitar, a Carvin Legacy 3 all-tube 3-channel amp head, a bank of six Moogerfooger analog effects modules, two Technics SL-1200 turntables, and shelves of vinyl inspiration spanning early rave underground hardcore breakbeat, IDM, boom-bap, free jazz, breakcore metal, and psychedelic prog-rock, among other genres.

Flying Lotus tweets "dream to me is a track i made the morning after i bought a microkorg i made this and 'camera day' the same day"

A Minimoog Voyager can be spotted in FlyLo's studio setup in a photo he shared.

Flying Lotus received a prototype Moog Sub Phatty and used it as the main instrument on his track "Such a Square".

At his home studio, he had upgraded monitors acquired from after his move there, and various digital and analog instruments, including a drum kit, a Fender Rhodes piano, Wurlitzer electric pianos, Access Virus and Minimoog Voyager synthesizers,[20] a drum machine, three Mac Powerbooks, and a DSP unit.

In this video, Flying Lotus is using a Korg Monotron Delay to apply effects.
