If I were to buy the latest Cubasis version, does this include Iconica sketch or do I have to buy this seperately? Thanks

Thanks Lars. Is there an orchestra vst in cubasis? If I buy Iconica separately does it just automatically instal into Cubasis? Thanks

Hi @glynn.hodges

Thanks for your message.

Cubasis does not include orchestral sounds comparable to the quality of Iconica Sketch for iPhone/iPad.

Once you’ve installed Iconica Sketch for iPhone/iPad, you can either load the existing AUv3 plug-in version with Cubasis. Or you are free to choose installing the additional Cubasis plug-in version via the Cubasis in-app store (this option becomes available once both apps are installed on your iOS/iPadOS device).

Both options are fully fine to run Iconica Sketch with Cubasis.

You may take a look at our available Iconica Sketch for iPhone/iPad tutorial (which I’ve linked in the initial post on this page)

Hope that helps!

Best,  
Lars

@LSlowak

Lars,

What is the total install size for the Iconica Sketch Orchestra app (for Cubasis running under iOS)?

Thank you,  
Steve.

Hi @steveecrane

Thanks for your message.

The content download of Iconica Sketch for iPhone/iPad is about 1.8 GB.

If you own both apps, Iconica Sketch iPhone/iPad and Cubasis 3.7, you can choose to install the optional Cubasis plug-in version of Iconica Sketch (via the Cubasis in-app shop), which will take another 1.8 GB for the content installation.

Hope that helps!

Best,  
Lars

Lars,

Thank you for getting back to me. I had already purchased the app by the time you had responded.

Are you saying that what is essentially the _same_ content has to be downloaded and installed **twice**? Surely there must be a more optimal way of achieving this for s/w running on the same system?

I’ve installed the standalone app (including its content) and am currently installing the AU ‘plugin’. I really hope I do not have to (download and) install a further ~2GB of content onto the self-same iPad! That would be quite ridiculous!!!

If this is indeed the case, are there any plans by Steinberg to consolidate this inefficient process?

Kind regards,  
Steve.

PS A Happy New Year to all at Steinberg.

Hi @steveecrane

You can freely choose to use the Iconica Sketch AUv3 version with Cubasis or install and use the optional Cubasis plug-in version.

As of yet, the optional Cubasis plug-in version requires to the content to be installed once more.

Best,  
Lars

That’s really disappointing, Lars. Highly inefficient and disappointing.

Thanks for getting back to me, though.

Hi Lars, Thank you for all your helpful videos…I just purchased Iconica Sketch for iPad and noticed the Bass Clarinet “Sustain Vibrato’ button does not sustain or add vibrato it just repeats the stacatto sound.  
It appears to be in the wrong position as well. On all the other instruments the sustain button always precedes the sustain vibrato…thanks for your help!  
Love your demo and dig these sounds!

Hi @tromero396, Hi @david16

Thanks for your reports, which has been shared with our engineering.

It’s only a graphical issue (a mislabelled button in user interface), since the 2nd button should read “Marcato” instead of "Sustain Vibrato.

We aim to resolve the graphical problem in a future update.

Best,  
Lars
