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).


Fully Updated

The new 2.0 version of Orchestral Essentials 2 offers a completely modernized library experience, with a new engine and design, all-in-one browser, reimagined Multis, improved legato engine, envelopes, filters, and Adaptive Sync. 100% free for all existing users!


Expand your Orchestral Essentials experience with brand-new selections from the acclaimed ProjectSAM product catalog.

The Orchestral Essentials series captures the essence of the ProjectSAM experience: an inspiring collection of sounds taken from our extensive, cinematic product catalog.

This volume expands your Orchestral Essentials template with brand-new selections from the ProjectSAM catalog, including the Symphobia series, the True Strike series, and our other libraries, all re-designed and streamlined to fit the Orchestral Essentials concept.

The Mixed Orchestra section in Orchestral Essentials 2 offers you beautiful, live recordings of different orchestral sections playing together, such as full orchestra recorded with choir and strings recorded with brass.


The individual Strings, Brass, Woodwinds, and Percussion sections deliver new articulations and sounds including lush string sordinos and flageolets, a massive, 8-player French Horn section, new, powerful drum sounds, and chilling bowed cymbal scrapes.

The Keyboards include a soft, delicate grand piano, box organ, and cimbalom.

Orchestral Essentials 2 adds 5 beautiful legato instruments: solo trumpet, solo flute, solo oboe, cellos performing with bassoon, and bass clarinet performing with contra bassoon.

For these instruments, legato transitions were recorded for all note intervals up to an octave up and down.

All instruments have been re-designed to fit the Orchestral Essentials concept, providing out-of-the-box playability and a cinematic sound that is impossible to beat at this price point.

Orchestral Essentials 2 is a must-have addition for owners of the first volume, but is a powerful stand-alone volume too, especially for composers who already have their orchestral basics covered.


Orchestral Essentials 2 vs Orchestral Essentials 1

Orchestral Essentials 1 and Orchestral Essentials 2 are two unique libraries.

One does not replace the other, they complement each other.

If you own Orchestral Essentials 1, then Orchestral Essentials 2 will offer you 100% new sounds.

It will expand your template by adding additional articulations to existing instruments as well as new instruments and ensembles altogether.


Orchestral Essentials 2 vs Symphobia

The sounds in Orchestral Essentials 2 were selected from other libraries in our catalog, including the Symphobia series.

Each program was streamlined and tweaked to fit into the Orchestral Essentials series concept.

If you already own a Symphobia volume, please take a look at this document to see what Orchestral Essentials 2 will add to your template.

All instruments in Orchestral Essentials 2 are available in 1 microphone set (close or stage, depending on the instrument).

In the original libraries, these instruments are available in multiple microphone sets, a more in-depth interface, and in most cases, more articulations.
