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).


Tuned Mallet Percussion, Performed By A Legend

A beautiful selection of tuned percussion instruments - Marimba, Glockenspiel, Xylophone and Crotales - performed by master of percussion Frank Ricotti.

Expertly sampled on our dry stage at Spitfire Studios, we give you a definitive collection of mallets with the greatest amount of control.

Frank Ricotti is one of the most in demand percussionists in the world. He has played on innumerable film scores, including Inception, Skyfall, Twilight, Madagascar, Interstellar, Narnia, Fantastic Mr Fox and The Dark Knight.

An encyclopedia of mallet instruments, expertly recorded in Spitfire's dry space to give you a choice of sonic possibilities.

Each instrument is super deep sampled with multiple round robins, dynamic layers, beaters, bows and articulations.

A microscopic study of these instruments is also provided by numerous microphone channels to give you various different perspectives, mixing options and sonic aesthetics.


Marimba

The marimba is a direct descendant of the xylophone and looks very much like its ancestor.

Although composers have only written extensively for this instrument since 1950, it has recently started to come into its own as part of the contemporary orchestra.

The playing technique is identical to the xylophone's, but the marimba's mellower, deeper sound has generated a different kind of music.


Glockenspiel

The Glockenspiel is not easy to record well or make truly convincing, so our extensive array of microphones gives you choices beyond plugins to get the sound you're looking for, from mellow and bell like to bright and sparkling.


Crotales

Crotales are small bronze disks arranged in a keyboard style layout to produce chromatic pitches.

As one of the brightest tuned percussion instruments, they will cut through even the biggest orchestral arrangement, for moments of magical beauty.


Xylophone

A bright sounding wooden barred instrument similar to the Marimba.

Whether it be scaling a staircase in the Tom & Jerry cartoons, providing the top end for an awesome systems percussion session, or providing a darker malevolence in a Jon Brion score, a mallet collection would be incomplete without this primordial tuned percussion instrument.
