He uses Mainstage (i think that is what it is called) which is a part of the Logic suite for live keyboard stuff. All of the tracks and effects are done using Ableton Live. Just thought I'd clarify.

thx for your help. so it is possible to mix the tracks via beatmixing in logic?
and which effects he use in ableton? i think its a mixture of more than three. cause i tested nearly all effects in ableton and nothing sounds like his effects:-(

You probably can do it in Logic, but it would be much faster and easier to do it in another program live Ableton Live.

He probably uses a combination of effects on each channel or sends different channels through sends to get a different sound.

First of all, you probably need to chain a set of effects to obtain the desired results. More importantly though, don't limit yourself to built-in effects in Ableton. There are a plethora of VST's that all do some pretty unique stuff. Check out http://www.kvraudio.com/ - they have a bunch of freebies. One of my favorites to use is dBlue Glitch (http://illformed.org/blog/glitch/) - that one requires a lot of customization to not sound like cheese, but you can save your presets and do some pretty wild stuff.
