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).

X Convolution

In the audio world, convolution is the process of multiplying two signals together or folding one audio file over the other one. The result is a hybrid of the two original sounds, introducing a whole new world of sound creations. With Galaxy X, those two sound files are the Sources and the X-Files.

The SOURCES are sample sets especially and exclusively recorded and tweaked for the use with FX Convolution. All in all X delivers about 15BG of source material with almost 1000 tonally playable source key instruments, over 2000 Effect Sounds and over 5000 Loops.

The X-FILES are Impulse Responses, specifically created for FX convolution, which shape, twist, filter, reverse, deepen, morph, and even destroy and rebuild the source sounds.

With the X-Engine's X-Files, a celeste mutates into a tuning orchestra, a bowed ventilator sinks into the resonances of a piano, a sitar smashes into a clatter of glass, a tonal dance loop arises from a kalimba.

The combination of Sources and X-Files creates trillions of sounds unheard before!

The X-Eye

The X-EYE is the center of the X surface. Its color corresponds to the amount of FX-convolution in action.

The great thing about X is that you are always in charge of easily and dynamically changing the amount of FX convolution by simply using the Modulation Wheel or any other midi controller.

This way the final sound of X can be modulated. Listen to your music and instantly decide, how much the Source should be convolved.

The Recordings

Overall you can choose from over 4000 basic source sounds, which are based on over 16,000 samples. Almost 1,000 tonally playable sources like bowed mallets and cymbals, piano overtones, waterphone, mini-celesta, synthetic attacks and weirdos, different pianos, plucked and beaten instruments, noises or reversed sounds.

Over 2000 effect sounds such as magic balls, whirling wood, circuit bent noises, scratched cymbals, electronic effects, industrial and machine samples or flute and voice phrases.

Over 5000 exceptional LOOPS such as tongue drum, body percussion, world percussions, tonal loops, chopped loops, vinyl loops, and weird ones like Rod Spring Piano or Trembling Chimes.

X-Files - Impulse Responses

The X-Files put their mark on the Sources, be it the envelope, the frequency, the position or tonality and resonance. The kind of effect they achieve always depends on the interaction between Source and X-File. Galaxy X being a virtual instrument featuring both the sources and the convolution files gave us the opportunity to co-ordinate them on each other.

The effect of the X-FILES ranges from filtering the source to shaping, deepening, morphing or completely mutating it. We recorded hundreds of 'real' X-Files like instrument resonances, phrases, 'mistreated instruments', voice noises or environmental noises and treated them big time for great effects on the sources. We sampled different rooms, vintage equipment like tape delays or old turntables. We programmed noises for filtering and shaping the sources or recorded and tweaked different loops for creating tonally playable loops. We reversed all kind of X-Files for creating reverse effects for every X-Source.
