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).

Warm, Mellow Tones With Ultimate Control

Adding a rich, velvety sweetness to the bass and tenor ranges, the Abbey Road Orchestra Woodwinds section is completed by a world-class Bassoons a2 section.

Meticulously captured in the legendary Abbey Road Studio One, a comprehensive suite of bassoon techniques have been captured with 16 microphone signals, delivering unparalleled depth, character, and realism to your compositions.

From its rich, warm tone in the lowest registers, to its sweet, piercing sound in higher passages, the bassoon is an immensely versatile instrument with a profound emotional range.

Its unique timbre provides a foundational bass voice, supporting the entire orchestra with its resonant presence, executing playful, punchy staccatos, or weaving expressive, lyrical melodic lines with remarkable human-like warmth, akin to a resonant baritone singer.

The Iconic Sound of Cinema

Recorded in the world-renowned acoustics of Abbey Road Studio One, the very room where countless iconic film scores have been brought to life, the Abbey Road Orchestra range inherits a legacy of blockbuster sound.

With the masterful engineering of GRAMMY Award-winning Simon Rhodes, hand-crafted mixes provide an immediate, cinematic sound right out of the box, ensuring your bassoon lines resonate with authentic orchestral nuance and the iconic sound of cinema.
