EastWest Releases ICONIC - The Ultimate Pop Synth Collection

EastWest presents ICONIC, the only synth collection that features the sounds of the world’s best-selling songs, played by the original players, and programmed by the original programmers.

EastWest teamed up with Anthony Marinelli, synth mastermind behind Michael Jackson's Thriller, to make sure everything in ICONIC sounded true to the original productions of the world’s mega hits. Sampling rare vintage synthesizers like the ARP 2600, Minimoog Model D, Oberheim OB-X, Sequential Prophet 5, Yamaha CS-80 and the Synclavier II, EastWest has skillfully recreated some of the most iconic sounds in music history and turned them into modern virtual instruments.

“We realized that you can’t recreate many of these sounds today because there is very limited access to all of the original equipment used back then to create each sound,” says Producer Doug Rogers. “Lucky for us, Anthony has a museum-worthy collection of these keyboards, and he was able to recreate the exact sounds as only he knew the original programming and keyboard combinations used. Our team then added incredible new recording techniques and software features that will allow you to transform these historic sounds into modern masterpieces. I hope our users have as much fun using these ICONIC sounds as we had making them.”
