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).


There aren't many examples of gear that stands against the test of time, and there are even fewer that continue to be relevant in today's generation.

However, the pitch-shift/pitch-bend pedal is one of them.

Kuassa captures the essence of sound and functionality of the pedal and rebuilds it into a convenient plugin version to be used within your PC or Mac system.



Over the years, guitarists have searched, tried, and been let down by pitch-shifting/bending effect pedals on the market: crackles, artifacts, grainy-stepped, uneven pitch shifts, and reduced attacks are a common encounter in search of a pitch-shifter/bender plug-in.

As a result of years of development,  Whammo has smooth pitch-shifting and pitch-bending action in either direction, while also maintaining crisp attacks with every pick.

The unit can also be controlled via MIDI. When paired, this is the ultimate fun for any guitarist who needs a simple, convenient way to manipulate pitch using the software counterparts.


What about chords? Using pitch-shifted or pitch-bent chords gives a similar result to the "chord mode" from the latest hardware pedal effects.

A minor or diminished chord may "flutter" in a musical way, but some believe it is desirable.

The chord flutters in Radiohead's "Iron Lung" are a great example.
