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 Stroke of Genius

Borsta (Swedish verb, means to brush) is a drum and percussion instrument that simulates strokes and brushes.

Its unique audio engine allows for an endless number of very natural-sounding brushing phrases and rhythms.

What sets Borsta apart from similar instruments is that its audio engine supports continuous changes in intensity.

This makes it possible to create life-like brushing phrases and patterns, something that can't be easily achieved with ordinary sample-based instruments.

The parallel envelope and events sequencers allow you to determine precisely when to start a stroke, how the stroke's pressure/speed should evolve over time, and when to end it.

On top of that, each instrument also offers multi-sampled one-shots with advanced choking capabilities.

Each instrument is based on more than 400 high-quality samples, recorded for playing with different velocities and round robins.

The initial version of Borsta comes with 18 different instruments, but each plug-in instance emulates one drum instrument at a time.

That means the sequences can only be played one at a time.

However, switching between sequences can be done seamlessly via MIDI, and additional one-shot samples can be triggered using an ordinary MIDI track.

The instruments are all structured and MIDI-mapped in a uniform way, which makes it possible to use the same sequence on any instrument.

For instance, a traditional swing pattern will sound musically correct no matter whether you choose a Frame Drum, Tambourine, or Snare Drum - it will just sound like the musician changed instruments.


Features

  • 18 high-quality instruments with 6 multi-sampled one-shots each
  • 230 pre-made factory sequences
  • 60 Global presets covering different sounds and genres
  • Separate volume and velocity curve control of each sound type
