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).

Produce Drums That Are Uniquely Yours

Stop browsing for the perfect sample and create your own massive electronic drum sounds instead with total control.

Tekno offers 18 fully synthesized drum engines, spanning kicks, snares, claps, hats, percussion and more.

Craft unique drum kits full of punch and analog flavor to suit any musical genre.

Use MIDI to sequence Tekno directly, or simply drag and drop your sounds into any DAW or folder for external sequencing.

Next-Generation Drum Synthesis

To build Tekno, Baby Audio teamed up with Jatin Chowdhury, one of the leading engineers in analog circuit modeling.

the goal was to create a modern spiritual successor to the legendary drum machines of the 20th century.

Not an emulation, but more.

Tekno stands on the shoulders of classic drum machines but hits deeper and harder.

It utilizes a combination of authentic circuit-modeling and cutting edge DSP to deliver the punchiest synthesized drums ever put in a plugin.

Unlimited Tweaking or Instant Inspiration

Click the 'Gear' icons next to any synth voice or FX section to unlock deep calibration and circuit-bending options.

Or hit the onboard 'Dice' icons to let Tekno's smart random-algorithm generate all-new drums with every click.

You can also start from the 73 global presets and 1314 individual voice presets by leading sound designers such as Richard Devine, Mr. Bill, Virtual Riot and Yoad Nevo.

Each Hit is Unique

Tekno is a synthesizer what generates every drum hit from scratch through a complex non-linear VA circuit.

That means it never hits exactly the same way twice - a quality it shares with the classic analog drum machines (and a big part of their magic).

Compare this to samples, which are just static snapshots, and you'll find that Tekno's subtleties make tracks come more alive.

Tekno allows you to exaggerate this behavior further: Use the on-board humanize parameters to introduce extra variation in timbre, velocity and timing every time a sound is triggered.

Loaded with Analog-Modeled Effects

Tekno's onboard effects have been crafted with the same care and meticulous analog-modeling efforts as the drum voices.

There are no 'copy-paste FX' in Tekno, but a unique suite of coloration tools created especially for this instrument.

Beef-up individual drums with analog-modeled tape saturation, excitation and compression.

And make the whole kit shine with a punchy limiter/clipper combo that will cut through any mix.

Features

  • Craft deep and massive synthesized drums - from the ground up, with total flexibility
  • Use onboard humanize features to create alive beats where each hit is different
  • A modern reimagination of the legendary drum machines that shaped music culture

System Requirements

  • MacOS 10.11 El Capitan and above
  • Windows 10 and above (64-bit only)
  • Intel, AMD, or Apple Silicon CPU
