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).

Vintage Digital

The D-50 completely changed the synth landscape when it was released in 1987.

Powered by Roland's groundbreaking LA (Linear Arithmetic) synthesis engine, the instrument’s potent mixture of samples, virtual analog, and integrated effects allowed programmers to produce all manner of stunning sounds never heard before.

The D-50 software synthesizer is a perfect sonic recreation of the original in every way, allowing you to bring this giant in music history into your everyday music production environment.

Samples Meets Synthesis

The D-50 was Roland’s first fully digital synthesizer, and its unique sound combined subtractive synthesis with harmonically complex sampled waveforms and digital effects.

This innovative marriage of samples and synthesis allowed for warm and dynamic analog tonality with the realism and flexibility of digital technology, opening up an entirely new world of sound creation possibilities.

New Wave, New Jack, New Age, and So On...

The 1980s were a dynamic period for pop music, and new genres were being forged at a furious pace.

Name a famous track from the late '80s to early '90s and there's a good chance it was built around one or more D-50 sounds.

It's the basis of classic tracks in a wide range of genres including synth pop, new wave, new jack swing, and R&B, plus new age music and countless film scores.

In fact, some of the most influential recording artists in history have used the synth's beautifully crafted presets as the cornerstone of huge international hits.

Plug In Your Own D-50

The plug-in version of the D-50 is the only authentic software reproduction of the Roland hardware unit.

It includes the same sampled waveform set, and the Digital Circuit Behavior modeling technology captures every nuance of the original, right down to the archetypal "overtone noise" that lends this synth its rich character.

Roland even included the proprietary joystick and original iconic presets, but this version of the D-50 also includes extra features that make it a unique and powerful tool for modern productions:

  • Extra waveforms and tempo-syncing LFO enhance sound design capabilities and DAW integration
  • A virtual PG-1000 controller (based on the optional hardware controller available for the original D-50) greatly simplifies sound design, allowing you to customize preset sounds and build unique voices from scratch
  • All the original presets plus fresh new sounds and additional patch downloads

Hardware Integration

There are several ways to integrate the D-50 Software Synthesizer with other Roland hardware.

Import SysEx files from an original D-50 or legacy third-party libraries and enjoy your favorite previously created patches.

You can also swap patches and banks with your Roland Boutique D-05 synthesizer, and use its interface to control the plug-in.
