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

Celebrating the stunning sound of a Cello section captured at Abbey Road Studios, this virtual instrument offers a comprehensive collection of long and short articulations, 8 technologically advanced legato techniques - with extended velocity triggered patches (portamento and detaché), a high level of sampling depth and 16 curated mix signals hand-crafted by GRAMMY award winner Simon Rhodes, this library sets a new standard for the sound of the cello in the digital age.

A remarkably authentic cello sound that embodies the timeless essence of one of the most renowned recording spaces in the world - Abbey Road Studio One.

Expression at the highest degree.


Where Performance Meets Precision

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

All aspects of Spitfire's 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
  • Dynamic interval triggering
  • Eco load functionality
  • 16 signals (feat. 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 - our most advanced legato ever.
  • Lyrical Legato (extended): A relaxed legato patch for slower-moving melody lines.
  • Legato Runs: A very agile legato patch specifically for very fast passages up to a minor 3rd.
  • Legato Detaché: the connecting notes have broad but separated bow strokes.
  • Legato Portamento: the intervals are performed in a 'portamento' style with an intentional slide between notes.
  • Legato Slurred: slurred intervals performed with a 'moderate tempo' feel for sweeping melody lines.
  • Legato Allegro: slurred intervals performed with a sprightly 'uptempo' feel.

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

A host to celebrated classical recordings from Elgar to Prokofiev, as well as iconic film scores from The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back, and more recent releases Avengers: End Game and Black Panther, Studio One is one of the most in-demand recording studios in the film scoring landscape.

Home to one of the greatest in-house collections of vintage and modern microphones, and a control room fitted with a 72-channel Neve 88 RS console with a unique and comprehensive surround monitor section, Studio One was the perfect setting for our recording sessions, meticulously curated, recorded and programmed to deliver you the world's most detailed sampling orchestra.
