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).

Guitar Sounds and Loops Inspired by the Legends of Funk

With Funk Essence, his latest Strum sound pack, Brazilian producer and keyboard virtuoso Thiago Pinheiro introduces an eclectic selection of sounds that embody the spirit of funk from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.

From disco-influenced funk to more vintage styles with a shuffled approach, this collection pays homage to the greats like James Brown, George Clinton, and Sly Stone.

Designed to make your music groove like never before, Funk Essence features a range of sounds from clean guitars to phased and crunchy tones, exploring many sub-genres and sub-styles of funk.

Funk Essence includes 12 funk styles, 84 guitar presets, and 84 strumming patterns playable with your own chord progressions.

Whether you're composing for TV, creating sync music, or just laying down the foundation for a groovy track, Funk Essence is tailor-made to help you inject infectious rhythms and soulful vibes into your compositions.

Ideal for adding that authentic funk flavor to any genre, Funk Essence invites you to explore sounds inspired by the pioneers and legends of funk.

Who’s Thiago Pinheiro?

Thiago Pinheiro was born and raised into a family of famous Brazilian musicians, and his talent was revealed at an early age and followed closely.

Gifted with perfect pitch, he began composing on the piano at age four.

By the time he was twelve, Thiago had performed alongside major players such as Stevie Wonder, Billy Cobham, Gilberto Gil, and Hermeto Pascoal.

Producer and director Thiago Pinheiro is an acclaimed virtuoso and audio technology pioneer, as well as a versatile pianist and keyboard player whose work ranges from blues and jazz to house, drum and bass, and other electronic genres.
