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).


Dark, Progressive Orchestral Articulations

Powered by Spitfire's bespoke eDNA synth engine, Albion IV Uist is made up of Albion's large cinematic orchestral ensembles, this time playing a staggering 800 unique and extraordinary atonal, aleatoric articulations orchestrated by Ben Foskett, presented alongside an epic collection of 200 warped orchestral hybrids and textures, particularly suited to thrillers.

Recorded at The Hall at AIR Studios - home to the recordings of the world's biggest blockbuster film scores - this is the most progressive chapter in our bestselling Albion range: an orchestral series that gives you everything you need to make modern film music.


Albion IV Uist

The fourth chapter in Spitfire's Albion range - a series of instruments providing you with all you need to write epic sounding, widescreen orchestral music, straight out of the box - Albion IV is by far our darkest and possibly most ambitious project yet.

With six months spent on preparation alone, an entire week of 12 hour days in the Hall at AIR Studios, and an entire six months of post production, this library takes our Albion series to the next level.

Albion IV contains over 60 of the finest orchestral session musicians playing the finest, rarest instruments: Strings High, Strings Low, Winds High, Winds Low, Brass High and Brass Low, this time all playing expertly crafted progressive techniques, with everything arranged to interlock between sections.

Recorded to 2" tape via the finest vintage valve and ribbon mics (Close, Tree, Ambient, Outrigger) in the Hall at AIR Studios, London, Albion IV is designed to integrate seamlessly with the rest of the Albion range and Symphony Orchestra.

Spitfire are the only tape based orchestral sample library makers in the world, giving you the ultimate richness of sound missing in so many sample libraries.


Progressive Techniques & Warped Sounds

An enormous but carefully crafted selection of extraordinary playable articulations, long evolutions, motions, textures, hits, effects, clusters, stabs, stings, orchestrated by Ben Foskett, harnessing his experience creating contemporary concert music to curate an extraordinary set of articulations - from whispered, delicate notes, to aleatoric, atonal textures.

A key feature is the crossfading dynamic layering, providing a playable set of tools to fit in with your composition, without dictating your writing.

The sheer number of articulations gives you access to samples otherwise impossible to present to directors and producers, a set of tools designed for adaptive computer games music, mystical fantasy horror movies, thrillers with an avant-garde edge.

To match the versatility of earlier volumes, we have also taken these unique recordings and warped them into a broad selection of cutting edge hybrid sounds.

These range from organic orchestras to screaming synths and widescreen pads, Stephenson's Steam Band, presented in our highly intuitive and interactive eDNA engine.

Albion IV is named after the Scottish Isles of North & South Uist, reflecting the darkness and epic, dramatic nature of their landscape.

Situated in still isolation while subject to tempestuous forces of nature and sudden, unexpected fury, they reside in a part of the world where great masses of land grow hulk-like in isolation out of an inky charcoal sea.
