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).

Advanced Legatos for Ultimate Expression

Spitfire's professional tier is designed to help you work efficiently without sacrificing performance and nuance.

8 legato articulations - including extended patches - amazing sampling depth, alternative attacks and 16 signal options for the ultimate nuanced expression, this library is handcrafted for professional composers and producers.

The aim is to deliver the highest quality possible, working with the Abbey Road team - including GRAMMY Award-winner Simon Rhodes in a globally renowned studio and with masterful string players.

The design, development and production reflects our commitment to deliver an orchestral range with unrivalled expression, realism, and playability.

Where Performance Meets Precision

Meticulously recorded to allow for smooth and expressive transitions between notes, emulating the natural way a violinist shifts from one note to another without breaks.

All aspects of the legato programming has been improved in both Pro and Core versions, with multiple dynamic legato intervals, and flexible interval types triggered by playing speed and/or velocity.

The extended techniques in the Pro version are the most advanced string patches we have ever created.

With additional portamento and detaché legato styles, plus accented marcato and 'soft swell' entries for single long notes, the Pro version marks the absolute pinnacle of detail, expression and playability.

Pro Version Features

  • Legato techniques for key switching (portamento, detaché, fast runs)
  • Alternative attacks on legato and long techniques
  • Soft attacks and Marcato (triggered by velocity)
  • 16 signals (including 2 Simon Rhodes Mixes)

Advanced Legatos, Ultimate Expression

  • Performance Legato (extended): hugely detailed and highly playable legato patch which reacts in real time to playing speed. Additional legato styles (portamento and detaché) plus marcato and soft entries for single notes - our most advanced legato ever.
  • Lyrical Legato (extended): A relaxed legato patch for slower-moving melody lines. Additional legato styles (portamento and detaché) plus marcato and soft entries for single notes.
  • Legato Runs: A very agile legato patch specifically for very fast passages and flourishes up to a minor 3rd.
  • Legato Detaché: A legato-style patch in which all the connecting notes have broad but separated bow strokes, ideal for strong and impactful statements.
  • Legato Portamento: A legato patch in which all the intervals are performed in a 'portamento' style with an intentional slide between notes.
  • Legato Slurred: A legato patch with slurred intervals performed with a 'moderate tempo' feel for sweeping melody lines.
  • Legato Allegro: A legato patch with slurred intervals performed with a sprightly 'uptempo' feel, ideal for quicker or arpeggiated ostinato material.

Abbey Road Studio One - Icon of the Past, Innovator for the Future
