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).


PSI Snare is a 1GB, 5596 sample, Multi-sampled Snare Drum, playable in the full version of Kontakt 4.0 and above.

There is a simple concept behind the PSI Snare.


Rather than going down the normal route of superficially recording a range of snares, our focus was to capture the huge amount of different tones and effects that can be created on one high quality drum.

In fact we wanted to offer the user all the flexibility and sound shaping possibilities of owning a real snare.

The wide range of hits and tunings means the snare is capable of working in many different musical styles, it works like a dream as a replacer/enhancer snare in drum mixes where the original recording of the snare left something to be desired.

It can also be programmed very creatively using its powerful editing controls and its ability to use the controls either in Global or Local mode.


Deeply Sampled

The success of Paper Stone's previous instrument "The Clap" alerted them to the usefulness and desirability of an instrument that does one job, but does it very well.

The end result features 35 different playing styles and tunings with up to 56 velocity layers recorded in 5 mic positions:

  • Close (Mono)
  • Bottom (Mono)
  • Tube (Mono)
  • Overhead (stereo)
  • Room (ambient stereo)

The 35 Hits include 6 tunings, Muted Snares, Open Snares, Hands, Buzzes, Flams, Brushes, Hot Rods, Rim Shots and Rim Clicks.


Studio 2 - Live Room

The Instrument was recorded in the revered Studio 2 live room of Paper Stone Studios, Nottingham, England, using purely audiophile quality signal paths.

With a great live room, isolation booth and amp side rooms Studio 2 is our primary tracking space. Studio 1 has an outstanding hybrid mix/mastering setup.

It combines the best 'in the box' processing with analog outboard eqs and compressors.

  • MacOS 10.6 Snow Leopard and above
  • Windows 7 and above (32 and 64-bit)
