Steinberg team up with Orchestral Tools to deliver the first high-end orchestral library for HALion (FREE player included).

Iconica Sections & Players has a great sounding sample set with user-friendly functionality and everything you need to get started with virtual orchestration.

My first encounter with Steinberg's Iconica Sections&Players, using cello and viola articulations. I used 2CAudio Precedence for positioning the two instances of HALion, cellos slightly to the right, violas slightly to the left, both using the same instance of Breeze 2 on a bus.

My first encounter with the brass sections (trumpets/french horns/trombones/tuba) in Iconica, played/sequenced in LogicX, adding the key-switches to change articulations either on the fly while playing or editing them in the piano roll. The panning of the instruments is only achieved by mixing the various available microphone signals.

Iconica flute section meets english horn - using only the “close large“ microphone signals from both instruments, the flutes section is positioned slightly to the left, the english horn to the right - using 2CAudio's Precedence, each track also has it's dedicated reverb (Breeze 2 with P-Link activated). Dynamic expression played with the modulation wheel.
