The No.1 website for musicians
The ultimate soft synth collection, as voted for by you

This is the successor to Trilogy - the bass instrument that was released in 2003 - and the second product (after Omnisphere) to be powered by Spectrasonics’ Steam engine.
The 34GB library contains acoustic and electronic bass samples, and patches are built from one or two layers (up to eight patches can be layered together to create a multi). A serious number of processing options are onboard, though the simple interface means that you never feel overwhelmed.
If you own Trilian, it’s hard to imagine that you’ll ever need to look anywhere else for your bass sounds, and that’s got to go down as a high recommendation.

FULL REVIEW: Spectrasonics Trilian
“Spectrasonics Trilian. So powerful it's silly, and so much more than a bass synth. The real fun, as ever with a synth I suppose, is just to start with the initial patch and get lost in it. I want to get Omnisphere too at some point.” (Thanks, boonryan)
Great round up of Vsti's, I'm amazed that Reaktor isn't in the top 5 though?
Maybe, in its eagerly awaited next release it will be No_1? Reaktor5 is still my favorite Vsti to make great music with.
Al.
The Arps on Nexus 2 sound amazing, even though NEXUS 2 is a rompler the sounds are professional and easy to use in a composition. The drawback is that you may risk sounding like everyone else as the synth becomes more popular and widespread.
Reaktor at 11? Are you kidding? It should be at No1!
I think this is a very accurate chart. Sylenth is a very deserved winner - cheap, simple, and sounds amazing.
Now we await Sylenth 2 ...
