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!

[@dotcom4389]

after subscribing to you cloud service, i no longer waste time looking for instruments to purchase. i can see you guys have got us covered. Thanks for making this even more awesome.

[@L-M-MOfficial]

That opening trailer was absolutely amazing!!!

[@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

[@elovesmika]

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

[@ikethompson9812]

Might be the best plugin ever made. I could barely find any bad sounds in the whole thing 🤯🔥

[@EWQLTutorials]

We love hearing that!

[@DopaLink]

You guys at EW have been making some solid quality stuff lately. Very happy with this one!

[@EWQLTutorials]

Much appreciated!

[@ricktheexplorer]

Words cannot express how cool this is. I'm tearing up a little, because it's so beautiful. Thank You to all involved.

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thanks so much, we’re glad you like it!

[@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...

[@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!

[@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!

[@Cinematsic]

I just love the the trailer! Your walkthroughs are always great though ❤

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thank you! 😄

[@pascaltatipata]

Epic intro! Nostalgia overload.

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!

[@JOHNALONZOMUSIC]

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

[@catherineduc]

This is amazing! I thought I was listening to actual songs (like Jump) as I had the video on in the background. So inspiring - I think this is my all time favourite plugin! I think this must have lots of synth sounds from Madonna's early albums.

[@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.

[@alainpatry]

Amazing intro that had me smiling and singing along to each of these amazing throwbacks!

[@EWQLTutorials]

Haha that’s great!

[@ContentScientist]

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

Very well done. Props to everyone involved in this project

Thank you!

[@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

[@PeterTMusic]

Agreed with Rico! Loved that mashup track so much

[@gohrev]

Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic!!!!

[@EWQLTutorials]

Many thanks!

[@mysterienvril]

Added to my wish list.... thank you!

[@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!!

[@synapticrush]

Sounds good and looks great. Super classy interface.

[@stephenpower1475]

I'm not seeing the library structure as shown by Ryan at 7:00 . I don't get 'Classic', 'Classic Elements' and 'Beyond Iconic' I get a more detailed breakdown under type (including: arpeggiator, bass, effects, keys, etc) and less under some of the other settings. Can someone let me know if this has changed with an update, or am I missing something in the settings?

[@EWQLTutorials]

If you're in the 'Browse > Search' you get the library broken down by type. If you are in the Browse > Installed, you should get the full library folder structure with the Classic, Classic Elements, and Beyond Iconic folders (with those sections in subfolders)

[@stephenpower1475]

@@EWQLTutorials Ah! Thank you very much. :)

[@MattyB3]

Awesome plug in. Great sound design

Thank you!!

[@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!

[@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.

[@kingech_B15]

The Studio looks amazing

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thanks, we love our EastWest Studios!

[@musicfreak21]

Holy crap GREG! Best person to showcase anything keyboards.

EW ICONIC is great, I got it and I hope EW will also do a “making of” video of the track used at the beginning of the “EastWest ICONIC Walkthrough” video 🤓.

[@29djandy]

Wow more products like these please ❤😊

[@EWQLTutorials]

We’ve got a lot in the works!

[@lucianosamusic]

Beautiful

[@petertremblay3725]

Great addition and to be completed EW need an hybrid orchestra library!

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thanks! We're always working on new and exciting ideas!

[@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!

[@OnlyPhilipp-wb5tz]

Sounds great and a nice idea!

[@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!

I just installed it. It really amazing. I want to find a sounds like DX7 fantasy Bell. Which preset should I choose? Or I should find this sound in other plugins inside compose cloud?🙇🏻

[@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.

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

[@XvirusX]

holly molly i wan't this plugin :o i think i will renew my subscription :)

[@armandix5]

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.

[@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!

[@ezalsani1519]

Amazing! Hopefully not too far fetched an idea but would there ever be AUV3 support?

[@martinhullwegen1005]

Will there be a Making Of to the intro track to this video or maybe even a downloadable Cubase project? I'm asking because I've now installed ICONIC on my PC thanks to my Composer Cloud+ abo and now would like to learn how to create an intro track like this! Btw, the intro track is amazing, I like!

Omg I want!!!

[@MarkyGoldstein]

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

[@EWQLTutorials]

That’s why sampling these synths in an uncompromising way is so important.

[@SpaceGaming1988]

CONGRATULATIONS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH EAST WEST YOU ARE THE BEST PLEASE MAKE MANY NEW PLUGINS

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

[@EWQLTutorials]

Yes

[@CHASMO51]

What is included in the new Iconic update, please?

[@EWQLTutorials]

If there was an update in the EW Installation Center for Iconic it would have been instrument fixes, not new content

[@CHASMO51]

@ Thanks for the reply.

[@andynonimuss6298]

Soooo cool!

[@EWQLTutorials]

Thanks!

[@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!

[@Ericuf]

Is it obvious which presets go with which classic songs? Thanks!

[@nonparsdemundo7349]

Yeah. You can tell by the name - its typed little different but u know which song meant

[@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.

[@catherineduc]

Hi EastWest team, is this part of the Composer Cloud? This is awesome for retrowave/synthwave :)

[@EWQLTutorials]

Yes this is in ComposerCloud!

[@dinhaz]

Amazing, but EW are enemies of storage! Where will I put more 132GB to use this? Honestly, I can't stand buying storage to use them anymore 😕

[@EWQLTutorials]

Deeply multi-sampled instruments do take up more space - We highly recommend making use of Opus' Individual downloading feature to get started using the sounds right away/save space, rather than waiting for full libraries to download (though you can certainly also download full libraries from the EW Installation Center as well). To set up a download path in Opus, go to the Settings (Gear Icon) > Preferences > Locations, and you can add in the main location you want to download the libraries to there as well. Then from Opus' Browse > Search section, you can either click the download cloud icon, or double click on an instrument and choose download to then download just that individual instrument/articulation and you should then be able to load it/use it right away, then you're only taking up the space of the individual instruments you are using For more information on the individual downloads, you can see the getting started manual (on page 7) - media.soundsonline.com/docs/EW-ComposerCloud-Getting-Started.pdf#page=7 - or the 'Getting Started' video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHayn4ODftF9b9E

[@davidblickstein]

Is Iconic offered with any ComposerCloud subscription?

[@EWQLTutorials]

Yes!

[@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.
