Svevie Wonder can be seen playing Roland AX-Synth Shoulder Synthesizer in this photo. He seems to have been playing that synthesizer in concerts since 2009 when it was released.

Yamaha DX1 FM Synthesizer is behind him in this studio. The description of the photo in the SOS article says "Stevie Wonder and Gary Olazabal in Wonder's Wonderland Studio, 1986," which suggests that he used the DX1 to record his work in the 80s.

""He just didn't want the song to sound too light. So, aside from a little reverb, the vocal was fairly in-your-face and we recorded him sitting at the keyboard, using a Sony C500. We changed his vocal mics all the time, tailoring the sound to each song, and he knew how to work a microphone."

""On some songs we used a [Neumann] 87 for Steve's vocals, a lot of times an RE20 worked out really well for him, and there was also a Telefunken 47 that he tried and didn't like all that much but which we did use for his harmonica.""

"On the other hand, the little Roland was affordable. OK, £1,800 was far from chicken feed in the late '70s, but the Jupiter 4 undercut each of its competitors by around 50 percent. Consequently, the list of its owners became a 'Who's Who?' of the era, including Kitaro, Gary Numan, Tangerine Dream, Stevie Wonder, Tomita and, perhaps most famously, Nick Rhodes of Duran Duran. "

“[A] special Tru-Tron adapted to [Wonder’s] special needs and special talent” is mentioned by Mike Biegel of Mu-Tron in this February 15, 2017 Pedal of the Day interview.

By the time Musitronics was in full swing I met quite a few Jazz and Rock & Roll stars, and learned from them what they wanted in their “musical toys”. Among those were Stevie Wonder, whose song ‘Higher Ground’ put Musitronics “on the map”, and who now uses a special Tru-Tron adapted to his special needs and special talent.

In a 1968 performance, Stevie Wonder can be seen using the Hohner Clavinet I on the song "Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day." Stevie acquired the Clavinet I for his tenth studio album For Once in My Life, starting in 1968, as he was seeking a keyboard instrument with a guitar-like sound. According to Jim Allen on Reverb, "The jazz, funk and disco pedigree of the Clavinet is very well documented elsewhere; the earliest Stevie Wonder recordings are from 1968, notably ‘Shoo-Be-Doo-Be-Doo-Da-Day’, preceding the classic multitracked Clavinet milestone ‘Superstition’ by four years."

This photo shows Stevie Wonder performing at FireAid using the W9 capsule while there is an article in Forbes about the MTP W950, where it is also mentioned that Stevie Wonder is using the W9.

Stevie Wonder utilized the Shure KSM11 Capsule for Shure Wireless Microphones during his performance at the 65th GRAMMY® Awards, as confirmed by the source "Shure Captures the Sound of Music Icons at the 65th GRAMMY® Awards." His vocal performance, alongside Chris Stapleton, was delivered through the KSM11 cardioid condenser microphone paired with a Shure Axient Digital wireless transmitter.

At the FireAid event in California, Stevie Wonder is seen using the wired Lewitt MTP W950 microphone instead of the wireless W9. The video, provided by InMakin Conciertos on YouTube, captures this detail during his performance of "Love's In Need Of Love Today."

Stevie Wonder used Scott Mathews' 1960s 5-piece Gretsch Black Nitron drum kit during the "Talking Book" sessions, specifically for recording the track "Superstition," as confirmed by Julien's Auctions.

Stevie Wonder confirmed his use of the Moog Model IIIP synthesizer by stating, "When I was working on that, it started with a Moog synthesizer," during a conversation with presenter Annie Macmanus. He further mentioned collaborating with Bob Margouleff and Malcolm Cecil to develop the desired bass sound.
