Sounds are solid and I’d like to use them, but the app simply does not do what a live keyboardist needs. I want to use the sustained string tones and control the dynamics with key velocity. No problem, every app can do that, right? Not this one! You MUST use an expression controller (wheel, pedal…). Which I don’t always have in live settings. Infuriating, as it should be just a few lines of code to add a switch for that. The app also seems to fuse release and reverb into one control, which is not ideal and I’ve never seen before. Conclusion: unusable for me.

Bought this for iPad as an alternative to the Spitfire BBCSO plugin I use on Mac. Works well on its own, and in the Sessions app I use playing live, giving me access to multiple instruments at a time on different MIDI controllers on the stage. I’ve run into a problem, though, when using it in Logic Pro for iPad. I can assign a different instance of Iconica Sketch to each track, just like on Mac where I’d load up whatever I need and orchestrate across instruments. However, I’m finding that only one track actually sounds, which is very frustrating. I’ve had to freeze tracks to limit Iconica to a single active instance in order to playback or export with all instruments. It really kills the workflow. Don’t know if this is a Logic Pro problem, or something within Iconica. I’m on an M4 iPad Pro, and CPU doesn’t seem to be the issue.

I was frustrated in the first place, because it was a bit tricky to make it fully integrated into Cubasis. But since it works I’m blownin’ away by the quality of the sounds. And thank you for your support. Great product.

It does not even seem to work with Steinberg‘s own Dorico. And it does not include essentials such as solo strings, harmonics, sordini, not even an alto flute. The dynamics are very crude, most instruments just start to blare upwards of mp. Many instruments also have a restricted range that cuts off notes that are often used. I can play quite a few that are not possible here. There is no A clarinet, both clarinets sound tinny and ridiculous. The harp sounds good, but without harmonics?

Hi… firstly I really like Iconica Sketch! However I’m seeing DSP spikes when running in AUM. I’ve got a simple loop running using midi coming from LK to Iconica in AUM. It’s triggering the staccato celli patch. When left looping it sits around 16% DSP (monitoring using AUM’s node statistics) then goes up to 32% then spikes to over 70% and glitches the audio (iPad M2). It then settles back down but cycles round again. Seems to be a build up of CPU being used due to the loop? Appreciate if you could take a look please.

This is a very good app, but it's missing just a couple of things. Solo strings like a violin and cello would be great. And how about an ensemble patch that is for strings, brass, woodwinds. That would make things a lot easier.

Whenever I try to download this, it gets half way and disconnects. I’ve tried home WiFi and using 5G to no avail…. I’m sure once it downloads, it will be great. Got better WiFi, downloaded fine. 5 stars..

Buggy install had to install content again in cubasis after 1.8 gb install. was able to get it working on iPhone but no dice 🎲 on iPad iOS 17 2nd gen iPad Pro. Works in cubasis not in AUM only on my iPad for some reason. Restarted again to no avail. Sounds good from what I have heard of it will change review once that gets sorted! Update: Latest update fixed this deleted the original app- reinstalled and redownloaded the library- i believe it didn’t download the factory content properly originally. Love the sounds glad it’s working on my trusty older iPad now as well as my phone which never had a problem for some reason.
