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).

Manage Transients Like The Pros

A powerful compression toolkit with faithful emulations of legendary FET, variable-bias tube & "british mode" compressors.

Each plugin offers unique compression styles, allowing you to glue your mix, shape and smash transients, or infuse grit and color into your audio sources.

Drawing inspiration from classic analog compressors renowned for their musicality and effectiveness, these plugins faithfully capture their tonal nuances and compression characteristics.

Far from mere replicas, the Vintage Compressors Bundle elevates iconic compression into the digital age.

With many exciting additional features like modern visualization and sidechain EQ, these plugins are fine-tuned for today's production environments, ensuring seamless integration with your DAW of choice.

1178

A compressor with fast control over transients, the 1178 is a rare and expensive recording studio legend, cleaner and more versatile than its older brother, the Urei 1176.

Pulsar 1178 meticulously recreates the original 1178 hardware in its tonal color and compression character.

Known for its versatility, this compressor can be super effective in bringing warmth and character thanks to its different saturation stages.

With it, you get the world's most flexible FET compressor, reimagined with cutting-edge features for the contemporary producer.

Mu

With Pulsar Mu, you get the market's most accurate emulation of an iconic all-tube compressor, a staple in mastering studios globally.

Often employed as a glue compressor, it's the go-to tool on audio busses to add cohesion to the sound.

It allows for gentle, musical transient shaping, even at extreme settings, and provides complete dynamic range control with its sidechain, lookahead/behind options, M/S mode, and contemporary graphics.

Smasher

Pulsar Smasher offers an unprecedented custom modification of the classic Urei 1176 compressor circuit, a unique formula we stumbled upon while fine-tuning other algorithms.

While remaining very close to the original circuitry, the modifications we've built into Smasher add definition to transients and make your tone more aggressive.

Smasher excels at raw and gritty sounds, calling to mind bands like Vulfpeck, The Whitefield Brothers, and The Black Keys.
