EastWest Sounds ICONIC – Professional Audio Software & Plugin

EastWest Sounds ICONIC Vintage Synths and Keys Collection

ICONIC, the only synth collection that features the sounds of the world’s best-selling songs, played by the original players, and programmed by the original programmers. It doesn't get more authentic than this!

EastWest teamed up with Anthony Marinelli, synth mastermind behind Michael Jackson's Thriller, to make sure everything in ICONIC sounded true to the original productions of the world’s mega hits. Sampling rare vintage synthesizers like the ARP 2600, Minimoog Model D, Oberheim OB-X, Sequential Prophet 5, Yamaha CS-80 and the Synclavier II, EastWest has skillfully recreated some of the most iconic sounds in music history and turned them into modern virtual instruments.

ICONIC’s user interface centers around an FX Pad with 4 selectable Macro Effects that modulate multiple parameters simultaneously. Blending a vintage knob-per-function design, with sleek modern styling, all of ICONIC’s controls are easily accessible in a single page. Shape these ICONIC synth sounds from the dual filters that can be modulated, an advanced 16-step arpeggiator, multi-mode portamento (glide), and a bevy of effects to widen, pulse, distort, delay, and spatialize the final sound.

While ICONIC features synths and sounds used in classic songs that have sold hundreds of millions of copies, it's not stuck in any one time period. After recording these rare synthesizers in historic EastWest Studio 1, the producers also sent the sounds to analog tape machines (including a tube Studer J37) and pushed them to levels to create tape saturation and harmonic distortion for an alternative modern sound. The instruments were also re-amped in EastWest Studio 2, using multiple mic positions so the studio sound could be added to the direct sounds, a technique that was often used by Thriller recording and mixing engineer Bruce Swedien.
