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).


Explore A New Sonic Universe

Discover your new secret weapon for writing cutting-edge film, TV and game scores.

Kepler Orchestra makes it easy to evoke movement, speed and atmosphere by creating interlocking orchestral rhythms - from simple to massively complex.

The new Systems Grid does the hard work for you, with repeated notes, doppler effects, swells and shards.

Similarly, the Mercury Synth engine expands your sonic universe with warped and space-inspired sounds.

Recorded at AIR Studio One and featuring a chamber-sized orchestra, Kepler Orchestra is inspired by the great American systems composers of the late 20th century: Terry Riley, Philip Glass, Steve Reich and John Adams.



An Orchestral Odyssey

A full orchestra made up of 40 strings, 13 woodwinds and 19 brass, recorded as separate ensembles in the crisp, vibrant acoustic of Studio One at the legendary Air Lyndhurst, where we recorded our popular Bernard Herrmann and Studio Orchestra libraries.

All 54 of our unique articulations and playing styles, many never before sampled, have been orchestrated by Ben Foskett, produced by Harry Wilson and expertly recorded by renowned engineer Fiona Cruickshank through the famous custom Neve console via legendary Montserrat preamps.

With multiple microphone positions (Close, Ambient, Mid & Wide), a Full Mix option created by Fiona Cruickshank, the library is presented in our sophisticated Systems Grid, giving you ultimate controllability and endless inspiration.

Spitfire also created 259 Snapshots - a wide selection of starting points with pre-programmed rhythms and sounds that work instantly, for that extra element of surprise and inspiration.

Both detailed and epic, and designed to work perfectly alongside our existing orchestral ranges, Kepler Orchestra is for anyone exploring the cutting edge of modern orchestration, looking to create sophisticated scores for film, TV and games.


The Systems Grid

Together with a wide range of innovative and nuanced articulations (from repeated notes, to doppler effects, swells, shards and pulsing movements), the sophisticated Systems Grid, based on our hugely successful Evo Grid technology, has solved a common problem for composers - it allows you to create realistic sounding, complex interlocking polyrhythms - the simultaneous combination of contrasting rhythms - that are impossible to successfully produce using traditional samples.

Use the sounds dry for precise detail and to create the impression of vast movement and speed, or add your favourite reverb to create epic and atmospheric soundscapes.

Although similar to the Evo Grid, the highly interactive Systems Grid is much more of an articulation mapping tool.

Instead of using the pegs to create different textures, they are split by time divisions (duplet, triplet, quintuplet and septuplet time), tempo locked to your DAW and allowing you to quickly create sophisticated combinations of different rhythms.

Spitfire also solved the problem of rebowing, a secondary feature which is almost impossible to recreate with samples when writing complex orchestrations.

As with Spitfire's Evolutions libraries, you can pan and tweak each sound using the FX panel on the right hand side.
