At 0:37 seconds into the video about the making of No Time To Die, you can see the Syntryx on Hans Zimmer’s desk.
"I believe, right now, I personally only have the one big UAD-2, the QUAD card, in my computer. It's holding up great and covers all my needs… So far. However, the way we work here is that we have three studios on the go. We have my room, we have the other programmers' rooms, and everybody has sort of the same outfit. So I have no idea how many we actually have amongst all the different composers and arrangers here, but it's a lot!"

Throughout countless scores, Macs have long been a staple in Zimmer’s arsenal of tools. “We have loads of Macs and we have loads of PCs,” he says. But he keeps four Power Mac G4s close at hand in his home studio. “I think the Mac is really intuitive,” he adds. “It feels solid.”
