Steinberg Iconica En emble Overview

Recorded in legendary Funkhause Berlin by Orchestral Tools, Steinberg Iconica Ensembles is a virtual instrument plug-in that offers a comprehensive 45GB library of beautiful orchestral audio. Featuring 40 presets, 21 ensembles, and 69 articulations, Iconica Ensembles brings exceptional orchestral expressivity to the desktops of modern composers.

Each preset provides several mic positions to explore via the Mixer Page. You can adjust the tuning range to several different scales and can even shift temperament while playing a note. With the Cell Rack, you can experiment with different articulations and compose on the fly. Select your instruments for your custom ensemble, adjust polyphony, velocity, and more. With the innovative Note Expression and Expression Maps functions (VST3 only), you can create unique textures. Iconica Ensemble is available in VST3, AU, and AAX formats and supports macOS and Windows computers.

Recorded in a Legendary Berlin Studio
Iconica is the only orchestral library recorded entirely at the legendary Funkhaus Berlin, renowned for its recordings of movie soundtracks, TV series, and major classical works. Produced in collaboration with specialist company Orchestral Tools, the samples were recorded by 76 musicians—including 50 players just for the strings—in Studio 2, a 1312 square-foot room with a 34.5' floor-to-ceiling height and a pleasing reverb time of around 1.5 seconds. Recorded over the course of a month, the acoustic separation of Funkhaus Berlin’s studios guarantees crystal-clear samples, capturing the sounds of the orchestra in perfect, intimate detail.
Created with Orchestral Tools
Iconica has been created in collaboration with leading orchestral samples company Orchestral Tools. Well respected for its high-end orchestral libraries, like the Berlin Series and Metropolis Ark, Orchestral Tools worked with Steinberg to record the samples in one of its longest ever sessions. Both companies are extremely proud of Iconica, which delivers a complete solution for orchestral productions and sound design.
Always in Tune with Your Inspiration
The Tuning Scale function allows you to tune Iconica Ensembles to a number of different scales. The default setting is Equal Temperament, but this can be easily set to a range of alternatives—even changing while playing a note—either for artistic reasons or to conform to a different tuning standard. For example, you can use this when writing/accompanying period pieces.
Different Mic Positions for Each Instrument
The Mixer Page allows you to assign an output to each of the microphone positions used to record every preset, as well as controlling the volume and load status (which provides different room perspectives). This further helps you to include very finely nuanced sound in every composition.
Just Like a Real Orchestra
A key to great orchestral music is getting the positional balance between each section of instruments just right. With correct orchestral layout settings included in every preset, Iconica Ensembles makes getting this balance correct fast and easy.

All Iconica Ensembles presets were recorded with each section of the orchestra in its correct place. This means that, when you are playing or mixing a piece, it sounds exactly like a real orchestra sitting in front of you.

Expressive and Efficient
The unique Note Expression and Expression Maps of Iconica Ensembles' VST3 format means you can create unique textures and aleatoric effects. Further individuality is possible thanks to the different articulations, which are available via the innovative Cell Rack, a fast and intuitive way to experiment and compose impressive music on the fly.
