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 Visual Synthesizer

Abyss is a visual synthesizer with character and a bit of fairy dust. It brings to you dark, vibrating drones, vivid cinematic pads, and rich evolving textures. With Abyss you find instant inspiration for your music and sound design projects.

Nuanced Instruments

The tone colour approach provides a simple way to create complex sounds. This is paired with a modulation system that is as powerful as it is simple to use. Tweak, mangle, modulate your sound to sonic madness or create sensible, nuanced MPE instruments.

Tone Colors

Whether we describe sounds or colours – we use similar words like warm, cold, dark, soft or energetic. Not by coincidence, it is called tone-color. In Abyss different sounds are represented by different colours – a whole new way to design sounds.

Rich & Deep Sound

The sound engine of Abyss combines the rich and deep textures of natural sounds with the effective flexibility of classical synths. Of course, there is a virtual analog filter, but there are also controls to shape tone colours in unheard ways. Explore fresh sonic possibilities.

Surf Your Sound

Navigating through endless lists of weirdly named sounds is not always fun. In Abyss you can simply surf through a panel with more than 2000 tone-colors. Find your sound faster than ever.

Tone Colour Gradient

It's variation that makes sounds interesting. By placing tone-colors on the gradient you create a palette of timbral variation that becomes the base of your patch. Whether you mainly used presets or you are a seasoned sound designer, with Abyss you simply follow your intuition to create your own signature sound.

Features

  • Unique and inspiring workflow based on sound colours.
  • More than 2000 sound colours as building blocks for patches.
  • Unique "sound surfing" for selecting sound colours.
  • Each sound colour can be modified with spectral processing.
  • Noise parameter adds "musical noise" – specifically based on and tuned to the selected sound colour.
  • Virtual analog filter with resonance.
  • Four sound effects: Shimmer, Delay, Reverb and Phaser.
  • Optional brick wall limiter.
  • Arbitrary modulation with 13 sources and 23 destinations.
  • 2 ADSRs, 3 LFOs.
  • LFO supports free drawing of curve.
  • Two of the LFOs can be used as step sequencer.
  • Unique "stereo" modifier that allows to skew most parameters differently for left and right channel.
  • Modulation parameters can be modulated themselves (eg LFO-speed).
  • Easy pitch snap function to stay within scale.
  • MPE support.
  • Scalable, responsive UI.
  • More than 130 carefully crafted patches.
