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).

Boundless Reverb in Stereo

Paragon ST is a true convolution reverb with the flexibility and control of a classic algorithmic reverb. We’ve used the same reverb technology as the original Paragon and packed it full of new controls for music producers, including modulation, stereo width, and more.

Via re-synthesis, Paragon ST offers full control of the decay, room size, and brightness of reverbs modeled on recordings of real spaces. There's no time-stretching, which means no artifacts.

Say hello to your new favorite reverb.


Features

  • Paragon reverb in a music-friendly package
  • Unique technology for re-synthesis of authentic IRs
  • Stereo width control
  • Tempo-locked pre-delay and modulation
  • Mic distance control
  • Spectral analysis

Real Spaces Reimagined

Unlike a traditional convolution reverb, Paragon ST does not use a static Impulse Response, allowing a much wider scope for transformation. Paragon ST's reverb decay and room size can be set significantly longer, larger, shorter, and smaller than that of the original IR space, without introducing ugly artifacts as a result of stretching or removing samples.

Furthermore, the mic distance control allows you to adjust early reverb reflections in order to give an impression that the sound source is closer to or further away from the listener, without affecting the overall sound of the space.


Seamless Tweakability

The IR library isn't too big, and it isn't too small, it's just right. Gone are the days of keeping an Impulse Response saved for every possible configuration of every possible space - with Paragon ST, all you need is a select few, which can be tweaked to create almost limitless combinations of spaces.

Using state-of-the-art technology developed alongside the University of York's Dr. Jez Wells, Impulse Responses are analyzed, decomposed, and re-synthesized to create new authentic spaces.

Paragon ST's IR panel also allows you to seamlessly tweak the frequency response of real spaces, by EQing the reverb model itself and altering the frequency-dependent decay rate.


For Music Production

Whether you're giving natural ambience to drums or vocals recorded in a dead room, or pushing guitars and synths far beyond realistic reverb into something fantastical, Paragon ST's authentic IRs are perfect for adding depth to a mix.

Add excitement and musicality with the new modulation control and tempo-locked pre-delay, and fine-tune the placement of individual elements using the new mic distance and stereo width controls. The stereo width control is based on our iconic Stereoizer plug-in.


Typical Applications

  • Adding a sense of atmosphere to dry recordings
