After releasing the orchestral library Iconica Sections & Players in June, Steinberg has now announced the immediate availability of two further Iconica family members. Here's the story in their own words...

Iconica Ensembles is an easily accessible library, providing perfectly matched ensembles of strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion alongside more than 40 different presets. This makes Iconica Ensembles the ideal tool for composers and producers to deliver beautiful arrangements without delving into details.

Iconica Opus combines Iconica Sections & Players and Iconica Ensembles into a powerful tool for composers and producers. With over 190 GB of content, comprising strings, brass, woodwinds, percussion and a harp alongside ensembles and presets, as well as a huge variety of expressions and articulations, Iconica Opus incorporates the entire instrumental spectrum of a symphonic orchestra.

The Iconica libraries are developed for HALion. Both Note Expression and Expression Maps are capabilities that VST 3 has to offer, allowing users to create unique textures with the played orchestral instruments.

Both Ensembles and Sections & Players run on the included HALion Sonic SE 3 player, while also being compatible with HALion 6 and HALion Sonic 3. They can be used as stand-alone applications or as plug-ins in every DAW supporting VST 3, AAX or AU.

Florian Haack, senior marketing manager at Steinberg, commented: “Iconica Ensembles is a great addition to Iconica Sections & Players. Users can now easily outline everything with Iconica Ensembles and delve into the details afterward. Since we decided to bundle both libraries with Iconica Opus. Iconica now brings everything to the table to create iconic-sounding masterpieces.”
