EastWest ICONIC Walkthrough

[@EWQLTutorials]

Please do take note to turn off the 'Stable Volume' option in the KZbin Settings (gear icon) before viewing the walkthrough - Thank you!

[@RicoDerks]

Just want to say how awesome the whole opening mashup track was. Well done!

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thanks!

[@GoingOrbit]

East West you just made my day! There is something magic about the way these synthesizers sounded back then and it's awesome to hear. Thank you for taking the time to keep these old dreams preserved!

[@EWQLTutorials]

Yes they sounded truly magical and that’s why we wanted to do this project.

[@GoingOrbit]

@@EWQLTutorials It's a good thing I have 8TB of storage. I already have about 4TB worth of just East West libraries on my NAS. I am going to add this one tonight as well.

[@GoingOrbit]

@@EWQLTutorials What really amazed me when I was watching was the amount of wiring inside that one he had open. I bet it took a long time to manufacture and It's probably an even bigger pain to fix it :D

[@LAghemo]

Antony Marinelli is a myth! Well done for choosing him for such a work. I used to have several of those beasts back in the days, I'm sure I will have fun with that, and some nostalgy...

[@MihneaIrimia]

I love these. There's something unique about EW sonic fingerprint. As a subscriber, these new releases feel exactly like Christmas gifts. So awesome.

[@EWQLTutorials]

ComposerCloud is the gift that keeps on giving!

[@darkmaer]

I love that dude. I’m subscribed to him. He always gives such cool history lessons.

[@unitedman7443]

Just downloading now...currently at 30%. Can't wait to start using it! Another quality product from EastWest! 👍

[@EWQLTutorials]

Enjoy!!

[@L-M-MOfficial]

That opening trailer was absolutely amazing!!!

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thanks!

[@pascaltatipata]

Epic intro! Nostalgia overload.

[@EWQLTutorials]

This whole product is jammed packed full of nostalgia!

[@raquilano]

Ok, I spent half a day toying with Iconic. Heck its really iconic !!! Great job, great sounds !!! I already have a few projects in mind where Iconic will fit right in. Well done EW !

[@EWQLTutorials]

Have fun!

[@Classof1855]

You folks are truly one of the best! I've subscribed to Composer Cloud for nearly a year now and will certainly renew when it comes up. The synth world will fill a need that many times was not possible to find out there. I knew Moog, ARP, Sequential Circuits, and many others as they came to market but until now, could not replicate those sounds anywhere else. I don't use these synths often but when I need them, this will definitely do the job very well. Thank you EW - awesome work on everything you touch!

[@EWQLTutorials]

That’s the beauty of ComposerCloud!

[@Classof1855]

@@EWQLTutorials Well, yes, but I'd posit that that's only part of the beauty. Above that is a large and substantial library of gorgeously sampled instruments (heard in music productions around the world on a daily basis) with a remarkable amount of articulations and expressions. That to me, is the more beautiful part of ComposerCloud. With best wishes to EW!

[@JOHNALONZOMUSIC]

Thank you, EW! More sounds like this! :D 😍

[@shane_taylor]

Another fantastic library from EastWest, and the UI sets a new standard! You guys rock!

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thanks, enjoy!!

[@PeterTMusic]

Agreed with Rico! Loved that mashup track so much

[@trollstjerne]

Nice works guys! This sounds great! Downloading now. Cant wait to try it out

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thanks and enjoy!!

[@ContentScientist]

Great Video - thanks again East West Team!!!!

[@EWQLTutorials]

You're welcome, enjoy!

[@ScauldinBeatz]

This is crazy!!! 🔥🔥🔥 We need more of these type of libraries. I'll be picking this up asap!

[@EWQLTutorials]

Awesome, you are going to love this release!!

[@keysthomas1966]

THIS will make me subscribe for the rest of the libraries

[@EWQLTutorials]

ComposerCloud+ is the way to go 😁

[@elovesmika]

GO Greg!!!! Excellent sounds, no doubt!!! Great stuff E/W!!!

[@musicfreak21]

Holy crap GREG! Best person to showcase anything keyboards.

[@EWQLTutorials]

We love Greg Phillinganes! Absolutely legend!!

[@Sauce1Da]

Man the last couple of Vst Synths that came out , this one included have really raised the bar on sound quality and authenticity. Cherry Audio Atomica , this one right here , and Synapse Audio Han Zimmer Vst are prob if not the best I’ve heard so far. Great job on this one to EW, Anthony Marinelli and the whole team . Its amazing

[@DarthMadV]

Can you guys please think about payment plans? I’d love to buy this but I can’t afford $300 up front. Let us break it down into like 3-4 payments. One per week or month. Then that would create better accessibility/affordability to those who want to own their libraries, not rent.

[@kingech_B15]

The Studio looks amazing

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thanks, we love our EastWest Studios!

[@29djandy]

Wow more products like these please ❤😊

[@EWQLTutorials]

We’ve got a lot in the works!

[@MattyB3]

Awesome plug in. Great sound design

Beautiful

[@bartholomeusclever]

Although being a guitar player and not a keyboard guy ... I can hear how amazing the sounds are .... wow ... and how about that epic intro trailer ... you people are so skilled and creative ... thanks

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thank you!

[@vicneve1169]

Awesome. ❤

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Fred-h5k1q]

Great addition again, sounds fantastic! Would it be possible for each patch being played to include the sound designer/engineer/ and where it was used (some are obvious too many but certainly not the young generation) Maybe an information icon where the engineers tell a little about the patch and what synth they had to use to create thos fat sounds, like a historic record, that should not ever get lost, asit is such an ICONIQ collection. Historic info should also provided for other EastWest instruments (even if they are not 'classic'), it's very educational to learn about sound and sound generation, layering filters an effects Would be nice if the other VST in your library could include that. Some years in the future these VST'S will be classics: How great would it be that knowledge, inspiration and pure grit got preserved!

[@lihatjalanan1979]

The Trailer makes me happy while having my salad :) Cheers from Indonesia

[@EWQLTutorials]

Greetings from Hollywood to Indonesia!

[@Savagefred]

Great trailer

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thanks!

[@videoportal22libor92]

Splendit !!! wauuu 🙂

[@fabienbourgeais1573]

Good Job !!!

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thanks!

[@BpackAudio]

Although I have these covered through your competitors, I'm certain you'll have some patches I can't find anywhere else. Very grateful for your a la carte system.

[@EWQLTutorials]

We guarantee you there are sounds in this library you'll never find in other synth libraries. This one is really special, it includes all the sounds we know and love from music history but also gives you the tools to completely change them in any way you can think of.

[@Guitarist888]

Please give use a Hans Zimmer pipe Organ VST!

[@realbano]

Wow that Trailer !!! You Guys are amazing !

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thank you!

[@nonparsdemundo7349]

maybe next time a felt piano library with add play styles like Two Lanes does. All of your sounds are outstanding natural and amazing.

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@fernandobaetajr]

Very good!

[@lucassmusicofficial]

Congratulations to EW and team! What a crzy adventure this opens for future producers and current ones to enjoy some awesome sounds! Probably my favorite trailer of yours so far, and such a nice walkthrough Mr. Thomas & Greg! Thank you all around!

[@EWQLTutorials]

We're super excited for you all to experience ICONIC. And thanks for your kind words!

[@lucassmusicofficial]

@@EWQLTutorials Just finished downloading! About to test it and use it on a track!

[@davidbrussard-composer7372]

I don't have a use for this at the moment, but this video had me grinning constantly. This is a super cool library! On a side note, I'd love to see successors to Ra and Silk. I need more ethnic instruments of the quality of Fantasy Orchestra!

[@EWQLTutorials]

Just play around with ICONIC and you'll find it can be used for so many different genres besides pop music. As for world instruments, we've got more of those coming as well!

Yes this is in ComposerCloud!

Amazing!

Thanks!

[@CrazyInsomniacDSPS]

Are the EW Iconic Drum Machines included in the $299 package? I see it listed on your PC during the Library Organization? I'd love drums for these synths.

[@EWQLTutorials]

Drum Machines are not included in this package but are coming soon!

[@andynonimuss6298]

Soooo cool!

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thanks!

[@Patrickillian]

Nice :D

[@LearnCompositionOnline]

Cool! Let´s free 132 GB space . I hope it is one that blends easily in different genres

[@EWQLTutorials]

Even though it's a pop music machine, it really can do anything. It's also amazing for film scoring! As for the amount of space, remember you can also just download individual instruments in Opus!

[@navidhendrix]

Time to buy another external SSD

[@GRaVITY2DX]

Felt that.

[@EWQLTutorials]

Keep ind mind, you can also just download individual patches in Opus as well!

[@GRaVITY2DX]

@@EWQLTutorials I am aware, I just like to have the entire library as hand just in case.

[@franklp2183]

This is awesome and so very timely!! Thank You!!!

[@EWQLTutorials]

You are so welcome! This project was a true labor of love.

[@davidblickstein]

Is Iconic offered with any ComposerCloud subscription?

[@EWQLTutorials]

Yes!

[@armando500]

Excellent product in order to preserve the sounds of past decades. I wonder if you achived the sound of Tonto synth, wich was used by Stevie Wonder in 1972 for his album Music of my Mind specialy on Superwoman and the somo other Stevie's albums.

[@MarkyGoldstein]

Reminds me of how sterile many plugin synth emulators are still sounding. These samples shine, are punchy and big.

[@ChristianSee2023]

What about an EastWest Hollywood Choir update?

[@GRaVITY2DX]

A good time to have CC+, I will be downloading this after work, thank you very much.

[@EWQLTutorials]

You are welcome - have fun!!

[@nathanlyonproductions917]

Question: Can this Be Used In, Studio One, And, FL Studio?

[@EWQLTutorials]

Yes

[@SteveBlues87]

I kinda stopped using EW as I've started to produce Synthwave. Well I guess you read my mind lol

[@Xeraser2]

Are there any synth choirs a-la Cutting Crew? I'd say those are pretty iconic.

[@PeterRoos]

Very cool.

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thanks!

[@Kiran-ei4ku]

Super

[@DarthMadV]

SLAAAAY EastWest!! 🤣

[@JakeRosen635]

Hey Ryan, thanks for the info! Wanted to ask - how can I make the modwheel add vibrato?

[@EWQLTutorials]

By default, the Vibrato Mod Crossfade is disabled, but if you go to Opus' Play > Automation panel, the bottom option of the 'Macros' column is that Vibrato Mod XFade that you could assign to CC1 or any other Midi CC (if you wanted to separate it from the current Crossfade already assigned to CC1 which moves between the Direct Input to the Tape mixer channels)

[@LaurinaHawks]

Is Iconic available? Because I don't see it in the Download List at my EW Installation Center. (I sub'ed Composer Cloud +).

[@EWQLTutorials]

Yes it’s available now, make sure you have the latest version of Opus and our Installation Center. If you are subscribed to ComposerCloud+ you should have it. Reach out to us via LiveChat on soundsonline.com if that doesn’t work!

[@Bashanvibe]

Ok can I sample on my keyboards some of those sounds I need for stage

[@AdamElteto]

@Bashanvibe Not legal advice, but generally, if you own the title, and you are the sole user of your samples and you do not share or distribute them, probably nobody will mind.

[@jenstornell]

It seems nice. Still 130GB for synth sounds conpared to real synths (maybe 130MB). But with samples there is no way around it I guess.

[@Pagansong]

oh mg thriller!!!!!!!!!!!!!
