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).

Play harmonica like Stevie Wonder or Toots Thielemans, but on your MIDI keyboard.

With almost 7,000 samples, 14 articulations, up to 8 dynamic-layers and a full range of 4 octaves, Chris Hein Harmonica is definitely the most detailedly sampled Chromatic Harmonica on the planet.

The user interface holds tons of features on several pages to shape the sound the way you want it.

However, if you do not feel like editing, just play and explore the 26 pre-programmed Keyswitch presets ranging from A-1 to A#1 on the lower keys of your MIDI keyboard.

To achieve the feeling of a live performance, the user interface offers four "Dynamic Modes", "Key Vibrato", "Hot Keys", and a revolutionary new concept of articulation presets.

One of the most unique features in CH-Harmonica are the Phase-Aligned samples.

After six months of research, Chris Hein found a solution to phase-synchronize the samples. This enables an absolutely perfect blending between six dynamic layers.

During the development of CH-Harmonica, most attention was spent on how to work with dynamic expression.

The Player

We were very happy when Berthold Matschat gave us permission to sample his rare harmonica.

There are very few chromatic harmonica players worldwide, and he is the leading player in Germany.

Berthold Matschat is also an accomplished jazz pianist and composer.

Since he extensively works with sampled instruments in his own studio, he had a detailed concept of what needed to be played on and sampled of the harmonica.

His tone is particularly soulful and emotional.

We recorded an old rare Hohner Harmonica, that dates back to those times, when Hohner could impress with the words "Made in Germany".
