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).

The aXPanner is an Ambisonic encoder that gives you control of the azimuth and elevation of the sound source, as well as the width between the stereo input channels.

The choice of two interfaces (equirectangular and top-down) lets you easily place your sound in space to create your immersive audio world.

It is available in three variations: first-order, third-order and tenth-order.

Note that Ambisonics requires a decoder to be listened to correctly, such as the aXMonitor.

You will not have correct results if you listen directly to the output of this plugin.


Pan With Ease

Pan your mono or stereo signals simply by dragging on the markers to place them where you need them, or use the sliders for precise panning right down to the degree.


Stereo Width Control

Control the angular distance between the left and right inputs.

Pan both to the same position or create a wider, immersive sensation by panning them apart from each other.


Select Your Order

Set the output order from first-order to tenth-order.

Tenth order gives high resolution audio for higher quality binaural decoding upon playback.


Features

  • Azimuth - control the left-right positioning of the sound source, where 90 degrees is to the left and -90 degrees is to the right
  • Elevation - control the up-down positioning of the sound source, where 90 degrees is directly above and -90 degrees is below
  • Width - control the azimuthal width between the left and right input channels.
  • In the case of a mono input, copies of the input are panned with the desired width between them
  • Order - controls the maximum order output from the plugin, which controls the spatial resolution
  • aXPanner supports an output up to tenth-order Ambisonics
  • Panning View - Select between an equirectangular view (azimuth/elevation) or a top-down view when panning
