I've read that he simply uses just a microKORG synthesizer, i've also read that he uses thousands of dollars worth of equipment, varying in different types of keyboards and whatnot. Does anyone know exactly what he uses to produce his music?

Well Nevershoutnever! is an acoustic singer so I suppose her only uses his guitar or the ukulele. And I know Owl City uses a Mac notebook, so maybe there's a program on his laptop that helps make his music magical(: I know that he uses a keyboard too. Adam's equipment looks pretty expensive. Well hoped I helped and hope to hear your band one day! :)

On pporly shot amatuer Youtube video's a Nord Stage (dressed to look like a real piano), Nord Wave, Moog Minimoog Voyager and something made by Roland (V-Synth maybe) are visible. But like most folks these days he probably relies mostly of software instruments running on a laptop.
