Unveil the magic behind the world’s most beloved songs with our brand new synth collection – ICONIC. Programmed by the synth mastermind behind Michael Jackson’s Thriller, ICONIC celebrates the synths and keys that shaped the soundtracks of our lives. Sampling rare synthesizers like the ARP 2600, Minimoog Model D, Oberheim OB-X, Sequential Prophet 5, Yamaha CS-80 and the Synclavier II, we have skillfully recreated some of the most iconic sounds in music history and turned them into playable instruments, supercharged with incredible new features that will allow you to transform these historic sounds into modern masterpieces.
ICONIC’s user interface centers around an XY 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 time period. After recording these rare synthesizers in EastWest Studio 1, the producers also sent the sounds to analog tape machines (include 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 into 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.
The synthesiser line-up includes:
- The Arp 2600
- The Synclavier II
- Roland Jupiter-8
- Sequential Prophet-5
- Yamaha CS-80
- Minimoog Model D
- Oberheim OB-X
- Fender Rhodes
The base ICONIC release includes all of these synth instruments plus hundreds of presets inspired by some of the biggest hits in music history. If you buy ICONIC in the first month of release, you will also get the BEYOND ICONIC expansion pack, which includes hundreds of presets geared towards contemporary pop, hip hop and EDM. Both ICONIC and the BEYOND ICONIC expansion pack are available for purchase and immediately available for all ComposerCloud+ subscribers.
