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).


BIT stands for Back In Time… and now we move to time travel level 2!

Instead of combining the best analog modeling with hybrid synthesis, which you can see with the other Rob Papen synthesizers, BIT-2's main focus is analog-modeled synthesis.


The idea behind BIT-2 is that the classic analog type of synthesis has its own charm and simply has not yet been covered in this form by the Rob Papen brand.

Although BIT-2 has no patch cables, it is modular by all means! The Modulation Matrix is used for the patching, however, also included is the smart 'advanced' panel below the Oscillators.

With these advanced features (accessed by switching the ADV switch), you can quickly make several connections such as LFO and Envelope to the Oscillator parameters.


New additions to BIT-2 can be found in its Oscillators.

Here you will find SuperSaw and SuperSquare waves, which are multiple Oscillators generated inside Oscillator 1 and/or 2. They give even more flexibility in creating sounds.

Kept from the previous version is the option to modulate Oscillator 2 by Oscillator 1 in several ways which expand the sound palette massively with Phase Modulation, Frequency Modulation, and Ring Modulation!


The two top-notch analog modeled filters are expanded in BIT-2 with new modes further enhancing its capabilities for sound shaping.

New inside BIT-2's arpeggiator/sequencer is the option to dynamically change the start step and end step number, resulting in interesting real-time changing patterns!

Another newly added feature is the 'Magic' parameter that allows you to alter the played arpeggiator/sequencer in a musical manner.

The arpeggiator/sequencer can also work as a modulator and includes an additional free row that you can use to modulate other parts of BIT-2 by using the Modulation Matrix.


The AMP section of BIT-2 has been expanded with multiple distortion options and all are at a per 'voice' level, avoiding ugly sounds if you play chords.

An addition of a 'Ribbon Controller' found in the lowest section of BIT-2's GUI allows you to change multiple parameters in a dynamic way using your mouse or an external MIDI controller.


Finally, the finishing touch for BIT-2 is the FX section.

Some superb-sounding FX have been added and improved.

Our top-notch Reverb is also included inside BIT-2 which means you won't have to go outboard to add reverb.
