At 22:17 in this "Studio Session with Orjan Nilsen" video, Orjan says "This is probably my favourite VST when it comes to synths, It is called Sylenth. It's sort of like the software version of this more or less" (referring to the Access Virus TI 2 module) "in my opinion at least. It is really powerful. You can have really massive sound and warm sounds as well as dirty gritty sounds. I do not like to use presets that much, so I try to make my own stuff."

In Orjan's youtube studio session, at 10:10 he says "I'm loving Spectrasonics Trillian. Perfect tool for bass. I recommend everybody to buy this one."
