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).

A highly expressive percussion library containing metal hits and "found" percussive sounds, sampled and programmed with a level of detail normally reserved for acoustic drum kits. Rolls, taps, clicks, subs, and textures… Now updated to version 2!

Concept

Impact Steel was intended to fill a gap found in popular commercial sound libraries. While several other products have metal hits and "found" percussion, none are extensively sampled and usable as individual expressive instruments. The goal of this project was therefore to create a unique, detailed, and playable library with the same amount of multi-sampled detail one would expect from a high-end percussion bank.

There are six main patches, eight special/alternately-mapped patches, and sixteen FX patches in all, totaling 73 articulations of extensively multi-sampled hits, scrapes, rolls, and designed textures. The instruments were recorded in a medium-sized recording booth, insulated yet retaining some ambience and "air" in the samples; this facilitates mixing for small ensembles and rooms as well as large orchestral forces.

Interface

Impact Steel was designed to be as playable as possible, on both drum controllers as well as MIDI keyboards. As such, all main patches are key mapped without overlap, and can be loaded on a single channel for instant playability of all instruments. On a MIDI keyboard, hits are mapped to black keys, while scrapes, rolls, and tremolos are mapped to white keys. This increases the ease of playing for composers without dedicated drum controllers.

An additional set of "L/R" patches is included as well, with left/right hand hits separated onto adjacent notes to facilitate playing fast passages.
