Madeon

Spotted in Madeon's tour bus studio setup.

You can see Madeon's M-Audio MIDI keyboard of choice in a photo he tweeted.

Madeon tweets about getting the Launchpad Mini.

When creating his winning entry for the Pendulum remix competition in 2010, Madeon was using the Akai MPK49 MIDI Keyboard.

One can see this controller at 1:45 of the video (particularly, the back of the unit and several of its knobs), as well as a brief glimpse of the corner at 1:07.

At 0:08 in this video, Madeon can be seen using a Novation Launch Control XL.

In this photo of Madeon performing live, a Korg KAOSS Pad Quad can be seen to the left of the CDJ-2000.

Madeon tweets a photo of the box of his Novation Launchpad Mk2 and says, "Playing with the new Launchpad mk2 has been pretty brilliant so far." (Tweet dated June 2015)

This controller was first made famous in Madeon's Pop Culture YouTube video, and makes an appearance in just about any other photo of Madeon live and in the studio.

Along with a Novation Launchpad, this Novation controller can be seen in Madeon's Pop Culture YouTube video.

Here we can see Madeon using a Launchpad Pro on his left.

When asked how he made "the dancing bass" in his Alphabeat - DJ remix, Madeon replies that he made it using Sytrus. "A lot of the feel comes down to the pitch automations (slides, legato, etc)."

When asked about his VSTs of choice, Madeon replies "...Sytrus, Sylenth and Harmless are old favorites."

Madeon considers Harmless one of his favorite software synths.

Madeon confesses to this being his favorite VST in his reddit AMA. Best of all, it's a free download!

In his reddit AMA, Madeon says he processes his synths using Guitar Rig.

In a separate interview he says "Guitar Rig...has been used on so many of my songs that it's a little bit ridiculous!"

When asked about his mastering chain in his reddit AMA, Madeon says he uses Ozone version 4. We opted to show you the newer version of Ozone, since v4 is no longer widely available.

"Just installed Komplete 9 Ultimate, loving it. Some new cool toys for tomorrow !"

"Fabfilter Timeless. Game changer."

Madeon tweets about using Nicky Romero's Kickstart plugin to do sidechain compression. He is also listed on Kickstart's website as a supporting artist.

When asked about his favorite plugins, Madeon says "The ones that really matter to me are the Oxford Dynamics Compressor, which I've used forever..."

Aside from FL Studio's own synths Poizone, Harmless, Harmor, and Sytrus, one of Madeon's favorite synths is the FabFilter Twin.

When asked if he uses any analogue gear, Madeon responds, "What's the point? I've never been a big fan of analogue, and if I want an analogue sound, I can get it from a plugin. DIVA is useful for that."

From an October 2013 MusicRadar article titled, Madeon: the electro house prodigy.

"Really cool. Deep functionalities coupled with an ergonomic layout. Especially useful for tonal kicks."

Image-Line Maximus is a software multiband compressor used by Madeon for more control over his mixes. In the tweet, Madeon responds to a fan by unveiling Maximus as one of the tools in his arsenal for his multiband needs.

The fan asks, "How in the living hell do you get your tracks to be so WIDE?" Madeon responds, "Be thoughtful with stereo !" Another fan asks, "Do you use the merge/spread knob in the mixers tracks sometimes?" And finally Madeon replies, "No I do it multiband with Maximus."
