EastWest Iconic combines the nostalgic charm of vintage synthesizers with cutting-edge features designed for today’s music creators. Its intuitive user interface revolves around an XY Pad, allowing you to manipulate four Macro Effects simultaneously for intricate, dynamic sound shaping. The one-page design provides effortless access to all controls, from dual modulated filters and an advanced 16-step arpeggiator to multi-mode portamento and a suite of effects that add depth, grit, and movement to your creations. Whether you’re crafting wide soundscapes, pulsing basslines, or shimmering leads, Iconic has the tools to bring your vision to life.
Iconic isn’t just about recreating the past—it’s about reimagining it for the modern era. Drawing inspiration from synths that defined generations of music, these sounds were meticulously recorded at EastWest Studio 1, enhanced with tape saturation from a vintage tube Studer J37, and treated to harmonic distortion for a contemporary edge. By re-amping them through Studio 2 with multiple mic positions, Iconic captures the authentic studio sound, giving you access to textures once reserved for legendary producers like Bruce Swedien.
Iconic’s portamento feature lets you craft expressive pitch slides, making leads and basses truly sing. When paired with the arpeggiator, portamento adds seamless pitch transitions between notes, creating intricate and realistic patterns. Even polyphonic sounds like pads gain fluid movement between chords, elevating your compositions with dynamic character.
The 16-step arpeggiator in Iconic takes your patterns to new heights. With features like velocity scaling, swing, gating, randomisation, and tempo-sync options, you can programme intricate, rhythmic patterns that infuse your music with energy and complexity.
Add dimension to your mixes with Auto Pan. Sync it to your track’s tempo or let it run freely at audio rate to produce rhythmic pans that add life to your sound. Adjust the Width control to intensify the effect and create captivating stereo movement.
Achieve a massive stereo image with the Stereo Double effect. Blend your signal into the left or right channels for an expansive, professional-quality soundstage that envelops your audience.
Dive into uncharted sonic territory with Iconic’s ring modulation feature, perfect for creating metallic, bell-like tones. Use the Modulation Amount knobs to introduce rhythmic motion, shaping unique textures with sources like velocity, envelopes, and LFOs.
Dial up the Drive control to infuse your sounds with warmth, grit, or outright chaos. Choose from Bit Crusher, Distortion, or Fuzz to sculpt your tones, adding anything from subtle texture to aggressive overdrive.
Take creative control with Iconic’s four Macro Effects—Stutter, Dream, Space, and Grit. Using the XY Pad, manipulate multiple parameters simultaneously, unlocking endless possibilities for expressive sound design.
Iconic’s onboard effects include the lush multi-mode Ensemble Chorus and the vintage-inspired Phaser Stone, perfect for adding richness and complexity to your sounds.
Finish your mix with iconic delay and reverb effects. The EP-1 Delay captures the warm character of magnetic tape, while EastWest’s convolution reverb offers authentic spaces, from intimate studios to grand cathedrals.
