Education Proof

Products with education pricing are for students & teachers only. To prove your education status we require that you upload proof in the form of an image/PDF.


Types of proof

Student

Student ID Card, Letter of enrollment, or similar

Education proof is submitted to the manufacturer and is accepted at their discretion.


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).

PITCHMAP is the world's first and only plug-in that allows processing the pitch of individual sounds within mixed signals in real-time.

It lets you change the melodies and harmonies of any recording by simply playing your own on a MIDI keyboard or creating a pitch map using the streamlined GUI, and optionally corrects any tuning issues at the same time.

As if that weren't enough, PITCHMAP provides functions to suppress individual sounds within a mix and can apply advanced synthesizer-like sound transformations to your audio.

In short, it is an inspiring musical instrument, a precision corrective tool and the only processor that literally lets you shape music with your hands.


PITCHMAP has so many uses, Zynaptiq hasn't yet discovered all of them themselves.

Here are some of the applications they are aware of:

  • Engineers can correct tuning inaccuracies in mixed recordings
  • Composers can try different harmonies for their works in an immediate, hassle-free and inspiring manner
  • Music producers that work with sampled material can now sculpt the music inside the samples as if they were clay in the hands of a potter
  • DJs can adapt the key/scale of their songs to fit into a seamless set
  • Sound designers get a bunch of unique new ways of creating the sounds that make the films and games of today so immersive
  • Mash-Up artists and Re-Mixers now spend minutes instead of hours (or days) adapting the components they use to fit each other
  • Rapid song/score prototyping using existing recordings that can be transformed to be something new on-the-fly
  • Mix element suppression under MIDI control
  • Creating unique synthesizer sounds based on a live input
  • Create instant remixes and professional accompaniment tracks directly from your favorite songs or playlist

Map That Pitch

Based on Zynaptiq's Mixed-Signal Audio Processing technology (MAP), PITCHMAP internally de-mixes the input signal into individual sounds, including their harmonics and transients.

This technique is quite literally rocket science and is done using perceptive modeling and pattern recognition techniques also used in artificial intelligence applications.

The separated sounds can then be individually tuning-corrected and mapped to other pitches, a process they call Pitch Mapping.

MAP also enables PITCHMAP's simple-to-use, yet very effective functions for suppressing or isolating mix elements. In real-time, of course.


Natural Mode

The MAP process is based on a model of the human perceptive system, including the cochlea and the brain region responsible for interpreting its data.

Hence the process is inherently very natural sounding with correct settings and reasonable amounts of pitch modification.

The human voice, however, has a very specific sonic topology that is very different from any musical instrument, and human hearing is trained to detect even the most subtle sonic variations in a voice.

As a result, processing voice simultaneously with other instruments has been a challenge in the past.

To accommodate for this, we've added an extra layer of intelligence that recognizes voice elements and processes them separately. Zynaptiq has called this Natural Mode.


Electric & Creative

Certain pitch correction algorithm artifacts have become quite popular.

Pitchmap has those, too, if you want them. But the MAP process has more sonic options than that.

Zynaptiq has added parameters called Purify and Electrify that allow making your sound more or less synthetic sounding, and threw in a polyphonic Portamento option named Glide, for good measure.

In combination with the live MIDI function, these parameters can basically turn PITCHMAP into a unique synthesizer allowing some very far out sound design.


No PhD Required

Although the DSP code itself is insanely complex, the process of Mapping Pitch is as simple as playing some notes on a MIDI keyboard or dragging sliders on the super-slick GUI to assign source pitches to target pitches.

Or you can let your computer do the pitch mapping by using dedicated macro controls to go from one key/scale to another with just a couple of clicks.

Changing pitches in a mixed signal has never been so intuitive and musical.

Instant correction of tuning issues, straight-forward re-harmonization or intricate restructuring of a composition's pitches... the choice is yours, PITCHMAP does the rest.


Lightning Fast

To increase workflow efficiency even more, Zynaptiq has provided comprehensive Snapshot functionality.

8 Snapshot slots let you compare multiple settings, adapt the process to different parts of a recording individually and create parameter automation without a headache.

Summed up, PITCHMAP gives you near-instant results while at the same time giving you access to every little detail.
