Where to get itAvailable from EastWestsoundsonline.com

ICONIC is a synthesizer plugin featuring recreations of rare vintage synths including the ARP 2600, Minimoog Model D, Oberheim OB-X, Sequential Prophet 5, Yamaha CS-80, Synclavier II, Roland Jupiter-8, and Fender Rhodes. Programmed by Michael Jackson's Thriller synth mastermind Anthony Marinelli, it combines classic analog synthesis with modern effects and a streamlined interface centered on an XY Pad with 4 selectable Macro Effects, enabling both authentic vintage sounds and contemporary production.

Key Features

018 vintage synthesizers and electric piano (ARP 2600, Minimoog Model D, Oberheim OB-X, Sequential Prophet 5, Yamaha CS-80, Synclavier II, Roland Jupiter-8, Fender Rhodes)
02XY Pad with 4 Macro Effects (Stutter, Dream, Space, Grit) controlling multiple parameters simultaneously
0316-step Arpeggiator with velocity scaling, sync/unsync rates, swing, gate, and random modes
04Dual filter design with 3 selectable filter types each (High Pass and Low Pass filters including Ladder, State Variable 2-pole and 4-pole)
05Multi-mode Portamento (glide) with polyphonic and monophonic support
063 Modulation Sources (LFO/STEP with up to 32 steps, 4-stage ADSR Envelope, Velocity) with bipolar Modulation Amount knobs
07138 GB of samples with over 500 presets (524 instruments total) including BEYOND ICONIC expansion pack for pop, hip hop, and EDM
08Effects suite: Ring Modulation, Auto Pan, Stereo Double, Ensemble Chorus, Phaser Stone, EP-1 Delay (Echoplex emulation), Convolution Reverb, Drive (Bit Crusher/Distortion/Fuzz)

Things to Try

  • 01Enable Portamento to create pitch slides between notes for expressive monophonic leads; with Arpeggiator engaged, Portamento creates slides between individual notes for dynamic patterns
  • 02Use the XY Pad to control 2 or more parameters simultaneously by selecting one of 4 Macro Effects (Stutter, Dream, Space, Grit) and moving the node
  • 03Create metallic, bell-like tones by adding Ring Modulation to the sound source and applying modulation from Velocity, Envelope, or LFO/Step LFO using the 3 bipolar Modulation Amount knobs
  • 04Apply modulation to filter cutoff frequencies using Velocity from your MIDI controller to open and close the filters depending on how fast or slow you strike the keys
