The Basics

iLok is a copy protection method used by many of our brands.

It has 3 types of activations, iLok USB, iLok Machine, and iLok Cloud.

Different brands/products will offer different iLok methods. iLok USB is always an option, but the availability of iLok Cloud and iLok Machine methods is at the discretion of the software developer.


iLok Account

For all iLok protected products, you will need an iLok account. You can create one for free here: ilok.com/#!registration


iLok License Manager

To manage your iLok licenses, there is a dedicated app called iLok License Manager. This app is used to register, activate, and move your licenses between locations.

You can download the latest installers from the iLok website: ilok.com/#!home


iLok USB Key

iLok USB

This activation is stored on an iLok 2 or 3 USB key.

It is the best option for portability, if you frequently move between multiple machines, and offline use.


iLok Machine ID

Machine ID

This activation is stored locally on your computer.

While this is a convenient way to work offline, and does not require the additional cost of an iLok USB, there is the risk of a license being lost in the case of a drive failure.

This option also requires extra care when you upgrade to a new computer, the license(s) must be deactivated on your old machine first to ensure you do not lose them.


iLok Cloud

iLok Cloud

This activation is based online, and requires a "cloud session" using the iLok License Manager.

It requires an active internet connection for the entire time you use the plugin(s).

The Upright samples a Chinese 4/4 four string Upright bass (double bass) recorded from three microphone perspectives, a pair of overheads, one next to the F-Hole and the pickup.

These three microphones perspectives allow you to shape the sound to give it more bass, roundness or detail (finger noises).


On the left of the interface, you can control the behavior of the instrument:

  • Legato mode: you can choose whether playing a legato will trigger hammer ons, slides, sustains, or simply have no effect
  • The legato distance will define the maximum interval that in which the legato will apply
  • The Slap effect can be turned on and you can control its volume and sensitivity
  • The release Volume: the sound produced when you release a string if a note was going on
  • The Sensitivity will set the minimum volume for velocity 1 and give you access to all the dynamics that you want

On the Right of the interface, you can control the different microphone positions.

The Upright was recorded from three microphone perspectives and you can change the volume of each one from the interface.
