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).

Rhythms Forged In The Furnace

Inject a metallic edge into your orchestral compositions.

This library not only delivers traditional metals from the orchestral palette, but includes the resonant clang of anvils, the shimmering brilliance of bowed cymbals, the otherworldly textures of waterphones, and of course a range of cowbells, agogos, guira and more.

Meticulously recorded with a variety of beaters and techniques, Metal Percussion captures the unique character and full dynamic range of each instrument.

Dive into the gritty world of oil drums, trash cans, and scaffold poles, or explore the delicate shimmer of temple bowls and wind chimes.

Whether you're crafting cinematic soundscapes, industrial sound design, or adding a unique rhythmic layer to your music, this library provides a wealth of metallic textures and articulations to create everything from sharp, percussive hits to lush, atmospheric textures.

With a microphone mix masterfully engineered by GRAMMY-Award-winner Simon Rhodes in the legendary space of Abbey Road Studio One, and performed by world-renowned percussionist Joby Burgess, Metal Percussion Core elevates your rhythms with a gorgeous room sound and exceptionally detailed sampling.

Rhythmic Fundamentals

To further enhance your creative workflow, this product includes a free MIDI pack of essential drum rudiments.

These building blocks of percussion technique are programmed specifically for Abbey Road Orchestra Percussion, leveraging the intuitive right/left hand mapping for authentic performance. 

Drag and drop these rudiments into your compositions at any tempo, and freely edit them within your DAW, adding realistic drum techniques with ease.

Heavy Metals

Expertly captured by Simon Rhodes (Avatar, The Banshees of Inisherin), Metal Percussion encapsulates a thoughtfully curated collection of versatile and diverse percussive instruments.

Inclusive of both classic orchestral staples, such as a variety of cymbals and crashes, and more eclectic cinematic sounds and texture, such as the Oil Drum, Waterphone and Giant Crasher, this library truly inspires organic composition.

Hand selected by world renowned percussionist Joby Burgess the majority of these instruments come from his personal collection - which has been used extensively on major Hollywood productions - and offers true diversity.

Whether you're looking for the delicacy of Bells and Chimes, the roaring sounds of the Thundersheet or something more abstract like the variety of textural elements played on the Oil Drum, this library layers and combines beautifully to spark your imagination and inspire your own patches and creations.
