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 Icon

In 1991, Roland released the JD-800 - a forward-thinking, digital synthesizer sporting a huge range of hands-on controls and a gleaming, complex sound.

The instrument would soon find its way onto classic albums and numerous film and television scores, and it remains highly sought after to this day.

Thanks to our advanced modeling engine that incorporates the original waveform data, you can now have the unique sound and experience of this vintage digital icon in a modern software instrument.


The Return of the Hands-On Synth

By the early '90s, preset-driven digital synths with limited hands-on controls dominated the landscape.

The JD-800 changed all that in 1991, bringing the synthesizer world back to its roots with a massive control-laden panel and an unapologetically electronic sound palette.

With its player-focused workflow, evocative sounds, and powerful effects, the JD-800 was a favorite for top electronic music producers throughout the '90s and beyond.



A Different Kind of Synthesizer

Using D-50-style waveforms with multimode resonant filters, the JD-800 took a different approach to other synthesizers of the day and offered a glimpse at the exciting future of hybrid synthesis.

Each of its four layers is like a complete synthesizer in its own right, with flexible modulation routing and time-variant amp and filter envelopes.

This unique architecture, complex tonality, and immediate hands-on experience has endeared the JD-800 to many hard-core synth fans over the years.


Authentic Jd-800 Sound and Behavior

The JD-800 software synthesizer is painstakingly crafted to sound and behave exactly like the original hardware.

Rather than simply a bunch of JD-800 samples, we used the original waveform data along with advanced modeling techniques to perfectly recreate the big, bright, spacious sound that only the JD-800 can deliver.


Special Effects

A key ingredient of the JD-800's sound was its formidable multistage effects section.

It's been carefully recreated here and enhanced with an expanded view perfect for realtime tweaking.

In addition to a master EQ, there are seven effects that can be rearranged via drag and drop to customize your signal flow.

Choose from distortion/overdrive, enhancer, spectrum equalizer, phaser, chorus, triple-tap delay, and a selection of reverbs, each with multiple parameters that vastly change the sonic character.


Sounds That Inspire Your Music

Instantly create with the large sound selection, including 64 original presets from the JD-800 hardware that transport you straight back to the '90s.

There are also 64 new presets, expertly crafted to show how inspiring and evocative the JD-800 can be in a modern context.

Or simply dive into the huge array of controls and create never-before-heard sounds that make your music stand out.

A Thoroughly Modern Software Instrument

While the JD-800 sounds exactly like its vintage counterpart, it's wrapped in a modern plug-in designed for today's creative environments.

The hyper-realistic interface is resizable for high-resolution screens, and VST3, AU and AAX formats ensure it works with your favorite DAW.

While the sound is huge, it's kind enough to your CPU to run multiple instances with lots of polyphony.

And it natively supports Apple silicon for the highest level of performance on modern Macs.
