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).

Bigger Bangs

From thunderous hits to shimmering metallic accents, percussion is the heartbeat of every great score.

Recorded on the majestic Stage A of Vienna Synchron Stage, BBO Percussion captures the raw energy, precision, and power of up to six world-class players performing together in one of the finest acoustic spaces on the planet.

These performances embody the thrilling intensity that defines today's cinematic sound - bold, organic, and deeply musical.


Features

  • Monster Drums, Thunder Toms, Super Crashes and many more
  • Unique sounds of 3 grand pianos mixed with various percussion instruments
  • Massive power of up to six percussionists playing together
  • Set-ups at three positions on Stage A of Vienna Synchron Stage
  • Flow View for easy, intuitive and effortless playing

The Flow of Pure Energy

BBO Percussion includes the full sample content of the previously available BBO Packs Dorado (Percussion Ensembles) and Fornax (Pitched Percussion Ensembles) in one easily accessible package.

Enhanced by the new Flow View for intuitive browsing and an uninterrupted creative workflow, this powerful collection gives you instant access to the driving force of the Big Bang Orchestra - a vibrant world of rhythm, resonance, and sheer orchestral impact.

It also includes a collection of MIDI loops that can be played within the Synchron Player and customized in your DAW.


Percussion Ensembles

Big, fat percussion sounds are the backbone of every epic arrangement, adding weight, motion, and drama to your music.

Recorded with up to six percussionists performing together on Stage A, these ensembles capture the human energy and precision that bring orchestral rhythm to life with unmatched depth and authenticity.

The Percussion Ensembles feature a stunning variety of setups divided into two main groups - Skins and Metals.

The Skins category includes Monster Drums, Bass Drums, Thunder Toms, Special Drums, and a Snare Drum Ensemble.

The Metals category offers Suspended Cymbals, Super Crashes, Big Metal, and Small Metal.

By combining instruments from both categories, you can span the entire frequency spectrum and harness the exhilarating energy of up to twelve instruments sounding together.

All instruments were recorded simultaneously in three stage positions - left, center, and right - using an array of close, overhead, Decca Tree, surround, and high surround microphones.

This setup allows complete flexibility within the Synchron Player, letting you shape your mix from focused punch to cinematic spaciousness.


Pitched Percussion Ensembles

Expanding the sonic spectrum of the Big Bang Orchestra, the Pitched Percussion Ensembles explore the fascinating intersection of rhythm and harmony - a sound that's both percussive and melodic.

These unique ensembles feature up to six musicians performing together, combining the power of three concert grands (Steinway D-274, Bösendorfer Imperial, and Yamaha CFX) with plate bells, tubular bells, vibraphone, gongs, timpani, taikos, and more.

The setups are divided into Low Range and High Range instruments.

The Low Range ensembles offer deep, resonant combinations - such as pianos, plate bells, tubular bells, pitched gongs, timpani, and bass drums - while the High Range setups add brilliance and shimmer with plate bells, tubular bells, vibraphone, suspended cymbals, gongs, and triangle.

Each configuration was meticulously designed to cover the full frequency range, from mysterious low textures to radiant high accents.
