Available for both Kontakt and the free Kontakt player, the Iconic V has eight fully tweakable drums and cymbals, including the ultra-rare hi-hat and cymbal modules, plus a comprehensive mixer, onboard effects, and new circuit-bent parameters that weren’t available on the original.
With all this, the Iconic V lets you recreate throwback grooves in the style of great artists like Duran Duran, Howard Jones and Naked Eyes, or put your own spin on a classic era.
The Iconic V is available for Kontakt or the free Kontakt Player at the introductory price of $79 (rising to $99 on July 1).
