Iconica Opus Crossgrade from Cubase, Nuendo, Dorico is an orchestral virtual instrument by Steinberg, offered as a discounted-upgrade-style crossgrade for owners of Cubase, Nuendo or Dorico. It bundles the Iconica Sections and Players and Iconica Ensembles libraries.
Iconica Opus Crossgrade from Cubase, Nuendo, Dorico is aimed at composers who want a large orchestral sound set inside their existing Steinberg workflow. The product combines two Iconica libraries, Sections and Players and Ensembles, into one orchestral collection. It is built from recordings made at Funkhaus Berlin with Orchestral Tools. The collection offers up to 190 GB of compressed audio, more than 500 articulations and several mic positions for each instrument. The crossgrade is available to owners of Cubase, Nuendo or Dorico only.
Iconica was recorded at Funkhaus Berlin in partnership with Orchestral Tools. Steinberg describes the set as bringing modern orchestral expression to composers.
The bundle includes a new mix based on the original Orchestral Tools recordings. Several mic positions are provided for each instrument, so you can choose the perspective that suits a cue, from close detail to a more distant ensemble balance.
The Opus bundle combines the Iconica Sections and Players and Iconica Ensembles libraries into a single orchestral solution. Together they offer up to 500 articulations across up to 190 GB of compressed audio.
The size of the library means a large amount of free disk space is needed. The system requirements list 190 GB of free HD space, and an internet connection is required for activation, download and registration.
