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).

What's New?

AAS has streamlined Chromaphone and brought it to a whole new level.

NEW Home View: With macros mapped to key sound characteristics (modulation, timbre, envelope, and effect), the Home View presents a distraction-free and laidback browsing and tweaking experience.

NEW Two-Voice Multitimbral: Chromaphone 3 combines two independent timbres, stacked or split, to create performance-friendly, texture-rich, and spacious sounds that are sure to leave a lasting sonic impression.

NEW Factory Library: Chromaphone 3 ships with a completely new factory library of 420 sounds created by top sound designers such as Michel Basque, Christian Halten, Jerry Kovarsky, Christian Laffitte, Niall McCallum, Adam Pietruszko, Daniel Stawczyk, Sean Divine, and Venus Theory. This incredible team made the most of the latest Chromaphone 3 innovations, and it's with great pride that AAS presents these new signature sounds.

REMASTERED Chromaphone 2 Library: A long and fastidious process of fine-tuning went down at AAS's headquarters. Each and every sound of the now legacy Chromaphone 2 library was reexamined by every AAS team member. Each sound now boasts a consistent gain-stage, unity-gain effects, better dynamics, and compelling real-time sound transformation assignments to take advantage of the new features of Chromaphone 3. All in all, these remastered patches add an extra 676 polished sounds to Chromaphone 3's stock library.

NEW Browser: With organizational views for Packs, Sounds, Categories, and Creators, Chromaphone 3's brand-new browser offers an efficient way to narrow down the sounds you're looking for.

NEW Macros: Chromaphone 3 now boasts four performance macros per layer that respond to user-defined MIDI controls. Each and every sound features modulation, timbre, envelope, and effect morphing assignments that can be played in real-time for enhanced expressivity and sonic dimension.

IMPROVED Microtonal tunings via Scala scale files: Chromaphone 3 now supports the Scala scale file format as well as reference note frequency tuning for microtonal music-making.

COMPATIBLE with Chromaphone 2 sounds: Simply copy Chromaphone 2 banks into Chromaphone 3's packs folder to convert them.

EXPANDED Multi-Effects Module: Chromaphone 3's multi-effects module now sports reverb, equalizer, compressor, tremolo, and guitar amplifier processors for even more tone-shaping options. Furthermore, the five effect slots can be re-arranged in any order.
