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).

Resonant Analog Filter

Fat analog sweeps, pounding filter rhythms, big hardware sound - with a dual version for double the analog attitude.

Are you searching for smooth, silky, analog filter sweeps? Or are grimy, resonant squelches more your style?

Nothing adds character to a track faster than a great filter, and FilterFreak can do it all.

From funky envelope follower sounds reminiscent of the classic Mutron, to wide resonant LFO sweeps like the Sherman Filterbank.

From timeless wah-wah tones to campy sci-fi sample-and-hold effects.

Whether you're controlling it manually or locking it to tempo for rhythmic effects, FilterFreak delivers the warm, fat, resonant tones you crave.

And Soundtoys has also added exclusive features you won't find in the classics, so you can create practically any filter effect you can dream up.


Analog Sound

FilterFreak faithfully recreates the sounds of classic analog resonant filters.

Twist the frequency knob for smooth retro synth sweeps.

Crank up the resonance to add some edge, or even push the filter into self-oscillation.

And when you drive it hard, FilterFreak responds by breaking up in a gritty and pleasing way, just like hardware.

Soundtoys has included seven different analog saturation "styles" that range from warm or crunchy distortion to pumping compression.

From subtle to extreme, FilterFreak packs a ton of analog magic into a convenient digital package.


Rhythm and Groove

While tweaking knobs is always fun, FilterFreak also includes rhythm and groove tools that add motion to your tracks automatically.

Turn on Rhythm Mode and flip the MIDI switch to create auto-wah effects that sync to your DAW.

Choose a simple note value like eighths or sixteenths, select from a library of pre-made rhythms, or even design your own rhythmic patterns using the Rhythm Editor.

Then, to perfectly match the feel of your tune, grab the Groove knob and add some swing or shuffle to drop it in the pocket.

For effects that move with the music, choose the Envelope or ADSR modes to trigger the filter with incoming audio.

You'll be amazed by how much one plug-in can transform the feel of your tracks.


Double Your Pleasure

FilterFreak actually includes two separate plug-ins - FilterFreak 1 and 2. Load up FilterFreak 1 for a single, simple filter. But if you want more power, fire up FilterFreak 2.

It gives you two analog filters side by side that can be used in series or parallel.

Combining two filters with FilterFreak's deep modulation options gives you a huge range of moving sounds to explore.
