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).

Simply Majestic

The Oberheim OB-EZ is an OB-E with the same FAT Oberheim 8-Voice Sound designed in a new, focused interface.

It was created for producers who want to inject that thick, organic and majestic sound in their tracks quickly with a new streamlined workflow.

OB-EZ is not a lite version of the multi-award-winning OB-E in terms of sound; it is OB-E under the hood.

We've selected over 260 of the most beautiful presets designed for OB-E that fit the OB-EZ control set, ensuring optimal tweaking potential.

Thanks to their unique octaphonic architecture, not many synths sound as fat as these in the software domain.

All The Control That Matters

While connoisseurs will see similarities with the 1980 Oberheim OB-SX, a streamlined stage version of the Oberheim OB-X, the intention behind OB-EZ is to make those 8-Voice tones quickly available for producers who need to work fast and want an inspiring instrument full of character.

More importantly, OB-EZ lets you tweak all the essentials, such as cutoff, resonance, envelopes, tuning, portamento, delay, reverb and more.

It lets you do so effortlessly, and it also lets you save any modification you make.

An Oberheim & GForce Software Collaboration

As we neared the release of OB-E, we were contacted by Tom Oberheim and Marcus Ryle (an Oberheim engineer in the 1980s) who were impressed enough to suggest a collaboration offering support to refine OB-E and to release an update carrying their full endorsement.

OB-E received several Best Soft Synth awards.

Following up from Oberheim OB-E came the Oberheim SEM and OB-X. OB-EZ is the continuation of this collaboration that we hope will make the majestic sound of OB-E and the Oberheim 8-Voice more easily available.

Inspiration At The Speed Of Sound

With its fully resizable UI, CC MIDI Mapping, Vintage knob for adding variation, Panning Modes for wide soundscapes, Vibrato and powerful new Preset Browser, OB-EZ is ready to inspire your next production.

If you later decide you need all the power of OB-E, it will let you import your OB-EZ presets.

The presets range from sublime polyphonic keys and mega octaphonic pads to powerful unison basses with many recreations you may have heard on more than one timeless hit.
