"It's a weighted keyboard, 88 keys. It's a lovely keyboard," says Junkie XL, at 1:40 in this video.
"It's a very nice fader service with just 8 faders. I've got them standard assigned to mod wheel, expression, volume, cc 16 controller, filter control and then here we see close, room, surround," says Junkie XL, about his JLCooper Fademaster Pro, at 2:28.
At 4:21 Junkie XL Introduces his Korg DRV-3000 Reverberator
In the YouTube video by Produce Like A Pro, Junkie XL (Tom Holkenborg) is shown using the Roland Super JV-1080 sound module.
"These controllers give me options to talk directs into Cubase. That is very hard to do with any other touch service program because they're made by Steinberg, so you can access certain parameters which you cannot with key switches or touch screens," says Junkie XL, about his Steinberg CMC-CHs at 5:02 in this video about his workstation setup.
"Then, I have a massive collection of samplers going back to one of the very first ones that came out, which was the Mirage. I'm working now on a movie with Peter Jackson—I can't tell anything about the movie at this point—but I'm using a lot of these older samplers because they give me a lot of quality. I'm using the ASR-10, Ensoniq, the Mirage. I'm using the Emulator II. It's all really good for that stuff."

There are a lot of scrapes and scratches on the enclosure. The pedal is wired for an EU plug so we were unable to fully test this unit. It is assumed that it does indeed function!

In the YouTube video "Drum Computers - Studio Time: S2E2," Junkie XL demonstrates his use of the Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer, highlighting its fun and engaging features.
"Then I did this other project last year which was a documentary for Red Bull. It's called Distance Between Dreams with Ian Walsh, the star surfer. That was a very soft, ambient electronic score. I did everything live with MIDI and just mixed it on the board and that was the end result. I used the Jupiter-8 for that, the Jupiter-6, the Juno-6 with the sequencer, the MSQ, the Roland 60, the 106, also the GB4, Roland VP-03, the vocoder. I used a Roland S-770 sampler, which has a really great tone to it. A couple of Yamaha synthesizers, the CS-60, the CS-70M—all pretty rare machines to have. But for that kind of stuff they sound so fantastic."
