Daft Punk have some sweet gear in their pyramid! Most of it is matching too. This is where Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo create their electronic magic and make humans dance on command! Here is an enlarged robot eye view of a Daft Punk concert:

These photos are cropped versions of what appeared in Mixmag, here’s the info that was cropped off:
1. ABLETON
“The show revolves around Ableton Live software on custom made super-computers, which we remotely access and control with Behringer BCR2000 midi controllers.”2. SCREENS
“Next to the ethernet remote computer screens there are four Minimoog Voyagers, the classic analog synthesizers. They’re a 30-year old design.”3. MOOGS
“We can mix, shuffle, trigger loops, filter, distort samples, EQ in and out, transpose or destroy and deconstruct synth lines. We keep some surprises on the side too!”4. VISUALS
“There’s a direct connection between our rig and the lights and visuals of the show. The light and video engineers can also add or control layers during the show.”5. SYNTHS
“Inside the pyramid are synthesizers and remote controls connected to the rest of the music equipment and computers, which are in rack-mounted towers off stage.”6. TEAMWORK
“Working the music equipment, lighting and video equipment, and building the pyramid for each show takes around 10 people, including both of us.”

*** play alive 2007 at the beginning of interstella 5555(right after matsumoto’s interview) exactly when the universe trip occurs. songs 1-10(exactly) play the whole anime. DP must of 1. recorded alive based off interstella video, or 2. unless unknown forces that we cant conceive of are at play! crazy awesome either way

thats crazy that someone else figured that out too!! its damn-near dead on.
*** try this one out – start human after all and electroma at the exact same time and the film cuts to the to the beat, all the robots walk to the beat, moods change right on with songs, its uncanny. but the film is way longer then the album so i dunno if this is totally valid.
