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).

A Broadcast-Ready Concert Grand

In partnership with BBC Studios and the world-famous BBC Symphony Orchestra, BBCSO Piano faithfully captures the live concert sound of a pristine Steinway Model D grand, recorded at the iconic home of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, Maida Vale Studios - also host to The Beatles, Hendrix, Bowie, and countless film scores.

Recorded in concerto position in Studio One, this piano has been captured with the same expertly curated microphone positions, designed to blend seamlessly with the orchestra.

Whether paired with the BBC Symphony Orchestra or played as a standalone instrument, BBCSO Piano promises to provide a rich, authentic piano sound suited to any genre.

Core has been curated to offer a streamlined piano package, featuring one bespoke mix signal and full controls - fully interchangeable with the Discover and Professional editions.

A Universal Instrument

Since its release in 2019, the BBCSO Orchestra library has become a core staple in the musical journey of thousands of composers, producers and musicians worldwide.

With this new grand piano, we're enabling users at any level to further expand on their virtual orchestra - with a path to upgrade to new features and sonic possibilities when you're ready, through Spitfire's innovative mode switching technology.

This feature also makes it easier than ever to share and collaborate with fellow composers, regardless of which edition they own.

The BBCSO Plugin

The library opens in the existing BBCSO plugin, allowing for seamless integration with the rest of the BBCSO line and proving incredibly useful when writing for the piano and orchestra together.

In the Core edition, we have selected an essential range of mic signals, recorded in the same configuration as the original BBCSO Core library - with additional close mics get you straight to the heart of the instrument.

The piano has been expertly played by BBCSO concert pianist Elizabeth Burley - an exceptional player with a consistent touch.

Award-Winning Technology

With a beautiful, modern design by ustwo (Monument Valley, DICE), BBC Symphony Orchestra and BBCSO Piano are housed in Spitfire's award-winning dedicated plugin (VST2, VST3, AU, AAX & NKS ready) developed primarily for composers, by composers - easy-to-use, intuitive and inspiring.

Core vs Pro

Core features full sampling depth and controls, with one curated Mix signal.

Consider the Professional version for full sampling depth, two mixes and the full range of signal options (15 in total), including hammer and pedal volume control.
