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).

Prestigious concert grand piano recorded by a legendary engineer at a world-class studio

Add dramatic presence, expressive power and emotional depth to your music with one of the most prestigious concert grand pianos of all time recorded by a legendary engineer at a world-class studio.

Alan Parsons Imperial Grand is a new SampleTank instrument that puts the authentic acoustic sound of a premier grand piano at your fingertips. It provides over a gigabyte of content with over 650 stereo samples covering 8 velocities per note.

The samples used for this instrument were recorded by legendary producer-engineer Alan Parsons, known for his timeless work with Pink Floyd, the Beatles and of course The Alan Parsons Project. IK US founder and executive producer, Dave Kerzner, teamed up with Alan to sample a spectacular Bösendorfer Model 290 grand piano at Mark Knopfler's British Grove Studios in London.

To capture the essence of this dynamic instrument, Alan used AKG C12 and Neumann U67 tube microphones running through a classic EMI console that's similar to the one he used while working with The Beatles and Pink Floyd.

The specific piano and studio were chosen to provide a truly audiophile pairing of instrument and facility in order to create the finest virtual instrument possible, one that can traverse genres and sound amazing in any context.

The piano samples were then obsessively voiced specifically for SampleTank 3 by IK's international sound design team.

IK worked hard to find the perfect velocity split positions combined with carefully dialing in the ideal velocity response from the SampleTank 3 engine. SampleTank 3's Acoustic Resonance convolution effect provides ultra-realistic soundboard resonance so that when you press the sustain pedal, the harp resonates the way it should giving you the real-life experience of playing an acoustic grand piano.

Each piano note has been meticulously sampled at 8 specific velocities to provide the most realistic playing experience possible. We've also omitted a few notes where necessary to ensure smooth key transitions and uniform tonality across the keyboard. Now you too can apply the powerful sound of the Alan Parsons Imperial Grand to your own musical projects.

With the Alan Parsons Imperial Grand, you get a truly unique instrument with dramatic presence, unsurpassed power, and real emotional depth.
It’s perfect for pop, rock, classical, jazz and any style where you need a top-quality audiophile acoustic grand piano recorded by a legendary engineer at a world-class studio.
