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).

Action!

Feel the pulse of modern film scoring with BBO Riffs - the ultimate collection of dynamic orchestral and percussion patterns that instantly inject power, pace, and intensity into your music.

Recorded on the grand Stage A of the Vienna Synchron Stage, these thrilling performances capture the drive and precision of the entire orchestra and percussion ensemble playing with electrifying energy.


Features

  • Ready-to-use orchestral phrases for super-quick orchestrations
  • Orchestra and percussion patterns
  • Hundreds of combinable 4-bar themes
  • Realtime time-stretching and host synchronization
  • Flow View for easy, intuitive and effortless playing

Epic Motion, Instant Flow

This inspiring BBO Pack combines the full sample content of the previously available BBO Packs Capricorn (Tutti Symphonic Riffs) and Eridanus (Percussion Ensemble Riffs) into one comprehensive package.

Enhanced by the intuitive Flow View of the Synchron Player, it's never been easier to browse, combine, and layer riffs for a seamless creative workflow.

With BBO Riffs, you're always one key away from instant cinematic momentum.


Tutti Symphonic Riffs

BBO Riffs propels your scoring to new levels with exhilarating symphonic riffs and patterns, performed by the entire Vienna Synchron Orchestra.

Each riff is a 4-bar phrase, orchestrated in the contemporary film scoring style and imbued with the power, precision, and grandeur that define Hollywood's most thrilling soundtracks.

From tense rhythmic pulses to unstoppable chase cues, these riffs transform a simple chord progression into a fully orchestrated blockbuster moment.

The phrases are organized in three intuitive categories, easily accessed via key switches:

  • Main Themes: Full orchestral phrases spanning the entire tonal range.
  • Low Riffs: Driving rhythmic figures performed by the lower registers of strings, woodwinds, and brass.
  • High Riffs: Bright, energetic patterns featuring the upper orchestral ranges.

All phrases are available at 120, 130, and 140 bpm, across root notes over up to two octaves.

Thanks to real-time time-stretching and host tempo synchronization in the Synchron Player, you can combine and adapt riffs effortlessly across tempos and tonal centers.

The flexible multi-mic setup - from close to ambient perspectives - invites creative sound design, letting you sculpt everything from tight rhythmic layers to wide cinematic expanses.


Percussion Ensemble Riffs

The Percussion Ensemble Riffs deliver the primal force and drive that anchor the symphonic riffs - a wide selection of powerful, loop-based patterns performed by Vienna’s elite percussionists.

These rhythmic layers can stand alone or blend seamlessly with the orchestral riffs for instant blockbuster energy.

Patterns are grouped by frequency range into Main Riffs, Low Riffs, and High Riffs.

The Main and Low Riffs feature Taiko drums, bass drum, and concert toms, while the High Riffs bring extra sparkle and agility with snare drum, stacked cymbals, congas, and bongos.

Mix, match, and stack patterns freely to create monumental percussion ensembles.

Each pattern includes a single-stroke ending, allowing you to end or accentuate phrases dynamically at any point during the 4-bar loop.

Recorded with multiple microphones - close, overhead, Decca tree, surround, and high surround - the percussion ensemble was positioned across the stage (left, center, right), capturing the full breadth and depth of the large hall of Vienna Synchron Stage.

All signals are accessible and adjustable in the Synchron Player's powerful mixer, giving you total control over the spatial image and intensity.

Naturally, these performances blend perfectly with the BBO Percussion ensembles, recorded in the same setup, for endless rhythmic variations and accents.

Big sound, big impact – instant cinematic energy at your fingertips.
