EastWest Guitar Bundle + ICONIC FREE

Bringing together a massive production suite of hyper-realistic acoustic and electric instruments, the EastWest Guitar Bundle + ICONIC FREE provides music producers and media composers with an incredible toolkit for rock, film scoring, pop, and vintage sound design. Designed by industry pioneers Doug Rogers and Nick Phoenix alongside legendary artist collaborators like Steven Wilson, this suite delivers four guitar-driven production libraries spanning heavy rock kits, dark cinematic textures, and period-accurate classic instruments. To make the package even sweeter, the bundle includes EastWest’s flagship ICONIC collection completely free, adding decades of vintage synthesizers and keys to your sonic palette.

Get EastWest ICONIC For Free!

Rounding out the package as a free bonus, EastWest ICONIC adds a massive 138 GB flagship synthesizer library containing over 500 presets modeled directly after legendary hardware units like the Minimoog Model D, Sequential Prophet-5, Roland Jupiter-8, Yamaha CS-80, ARP 2600, and Fender Rhodes. Re-amped through vintage gear in historic recording spaces, this expansive synth engine gives you modern creative control over classic sounds using dual state-variable and ladder filters, an advanced 16-step arpeggiator, multi-mode portamento, and an intuitive XY Macro FX pad for real-time sound sculpting.

Advanced Opus Sample Engine and Sound Shaping Features

Every instrument in this bundle runs natively inside EastWest’s powerful Opus software engine, eliminating the need for third-party sample players like Kontakt. Opus provides seamless performance and deep sound shaping capabilities, including custom keyswitch construction, high-speed individual instrument downloads, and pre-configured parameter automation. The engine features an extensive mixer with built-in SSL channel strips, transient shapers, stereo bus compressors, Convolution Reverb, and custom amp simulators to fine-tune your guitar and synth tones without needing extra channel inserts.
