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).

12 Unique Reverb Machines

Feel the mechanical tension of the Spring reverbs.

Hear the floating particles of the Cloud machine.

Create deep, majestic harmonies with Shimmer.

BigSky gives you twelve stellar, musically inspirational reverb machines.


Bloom

In the '90s, more diffusion blocks were added to digital reverbs in order to smooth out the sound.

A side effect of this was the tendency of the reverbs to have a slowly building envelope that "bloomed," resulting in big ambient reverbs that sit nicely with the dry signal even at high Mix levels.

The Bloom reverb features a bloom generating section that feeds into a traditional reverb tank, and adds a unique Feedback parameter that expands the possibilities exponentially.


Swell

The Swell machine brings in the reverb gradually behind the dry signal for subtle evolving textures, like having a volume pedal on the wet signal.

Alternatively, you can choose to have the dry signal swelled into the reverb for maximum ambience and atmosphere.


Spring

The standalone spring tank became a staple of surf and spaghetti-western music that developed  in the '60s.

The Spring machine allows for complete customization from warm and mellow to splashy and dripping with its Tone and Mix Controls, Dwell parameter, and selectable number of springs.


Plate

The Plate machine is a rich, fast-building reverb that creates depth without early reflection cues to a specific environment.

The Tone and Low End controls are simple but powerful frequency shaping tools.

Combined with any heartfelt vocal performance, this reverb is a dream.


Hall

Diffused reflections and slower-building density are the hallmarks of this beautiful and versatile reverb.

The Concert size is well-balanced, spacious and warm, while the Arena size is enveloping, huge and booming.


Room

A versatile room algorithm that creates environments ranging from well-tuned studio ambience to larger night club acoustics.

The Tone knob, Diffusion and Low End parameters adjust the damping and scattering effects of room materials, furniture, and people.


Reflections

The Reflections machine is a psychoacoustically accurate small-space reverb that allows you to move your source anywhere in the room.

The Reflections algorithm precisely calculates 250 reflections based on the source position within the chosen room shape.

The psychoacoustic modifiers adjust for human auditory perception, creating an ambient space of unparalleled realism for dry instrument or vocal tracks.


Non-Linear

A variety of physics-defying reverb shapes are available for special effects and unique textures.

Choose from three "backwards" shapes (Swoosh, Reverse, and Ramp), plus gated reverb and more.

Feedback control, Late Reverb, and Diffusion parameters allow for a vast array of time-warped possibilities.


Magneto

A new style of music emerged in the late '50s, featuring the guitar as the lead voice, enhanced by the reverberated wash of a multi-head echo.

The Magneto machine sets up a multi-head echo with all heads on, with adjustable head spacing and feedback amount.

The Diffusion parameter adds a new dimension of ambience, smearing the response of the heads and blurring the line between delay and reverb.


Shimmer

Two tunable voices add pitch-shifted tones to the reverberated signal, for resplendent, unearthly ambience.

The voices are carefully created from the reverberated signal itself to generate maximum radiance and beauty.

The Amount and Mode parameters allow for a range of shimmer effects from laid-back and subtle to full-blown majestic splendor.


Chorale

A vocal choir accompanies your music.

Choose vowel ranges and intensities to customize your choir as it sings in venues that vary with the Decay knob.

As the Modulation is increased, the choir becomes alive with a multitude of voices.


Cloud

A gorgeously big, ambient reverb that draws from techniques developed in the late '70s.

Using processing power not dreamed of in those days, the Cloud reverb machine obscures the distinction between reality and fantasy.
