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 Most Expressive and Realistic Software Piano Ever Made

Ravel is a breathtaking emulation of a Steinway Model B grand piano.

Building upon UA's industry‑leading physical modeling techniques, Ravel goes far beyond other piano plug-ins and sample libraries with its unprecedented realism, giving you album-ready sonics and inspiring playability - perfect for modern music productions from pop to rock, R&B to hip‑hop.


Features

  • Play and record the most organic, responsive, and expressive software piano ever made
  • Harness UltraResonance technology for unparalleled realism, dynamic sensitivity, and timbral characters
  • Easily mix between close and room mics, expertly placed by Allen Sides at United Recording
  • Animate your tracks with unique reversed piano sounds that can add thrilling textures and haunting atmospheres

The Ultimate Model of a Model B

The 6' 11" Steinway Model B is the most recorded studio piano for a reason, delivering the ideal, mixable studio grand sound as heard on countless modern hits, across every genre.

Its rich tones blend perfectly with drums, bass, electric guitar, and other surrounding instruments - never muddying up mixes and instead giving you a balanced, mix-ready piano track every time.


Introducing UltraResonance Technology

Sympathetic string resonance - or the phenomenon of undamped strings and the soundboard vibrating in response to other strings being played - is often the Achilles' heel of virtual pianos.

Using proprietary modeling and sampling techniques, UA's exclusive UltraResonance technology exactingly recreates these complex interactions, giving you the airy, evolving palette of harmonics that allows notes to melt into each other.

From soft muted notes to languid, pillowy nuances, UltraResonance sets a new benchmark in resonance and realism.


Simple Control of Perfectly Placed Mics

Designed to give you a professional, record-ready sound right out of the gate, Ravel's easy-to-use interface lets you sculpt your piano sounds with three pairs of hand-chosen vintage mics from famed engineer Allen Sides' mic locker.

Featuring only the controls you need, Ravel ensures you'll never get lost in confusing menus.

Easily tweak Ravel's Volume, Tone, and a microphone Close/Room slider, letting you go from intimate tones to a lush room sound, and everywhere in between.


More Modern Textures

Looking to add drama, suspense, or other left-of-center timbres? Ravel's Reverse feature lets you easily add unique atmospheric piano sounds.

Use the Mix control to add in subtle reverse textures to your normal piano playing, or go completely "backwards" for all kinds of fun.

You can even "play the control" for surprising real-time performance changes.
