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 Breath of the Orchestra

From delicate whispers to vibrant motion, woodwinds bring life, color, and warmth to every orchestral score.

Recorded on the grand Stage A of Vienna Synchron Stage, the Vienna Synchron Orchestra's acclaimed woodwind players breathe musicality into every note.

Their expressive phrasing, tonal variety, and the luminous acoustics of the hall combine to create an inspiring palette of orchestral colors that blend seamlessly with all Big Bang Orchestra collections.


Features

  • Ensemble of 13 woodwinds, playing in unison and octaves
  • Perfectly balanced blend of the entire woodwind choir
  • FX of high and low woodwind ensembles
  • Multiple microphone positions, additional close mic positions
  • Flow View for easy, intuitive and effortless playing

The Flow of Symphonic Air

BBO Woodwinds includes the full sample content of the previously available BBO Packs Neptune (Tutti Woodwinds) and Solaris (FX Woodwinds) in one easily accessible package.

Enhanced by the new Flow View for intuitive browsing and uninterrupted creativity, this comprehensive library gives you immediate access to mesmerizing woodwind ensembles - from refined tutti passages to dynamic runs, clusters, and textures.


Tutti Woodwinds

The Tutti Woodwinds patches unite all instruments of the woodwind family into one expressive ensemble - 13 players performing in unison and octaves, perfectly balanced to achieve a natural blend from the piercing brilliance of the piccolo to the deep resonance of the contrabassoon.

Ensemble instrumentation:

  • 1 Piccolo
  • 3 Flutes
  • 2 Oboes
  • 1 English horn
  • 2 Clarinets in Bb
  • 1 Bass clarinet
  • 2 Bassoons
  • 1 Contrabassoon

This unique recording approach merges the entire woodwind family into one harmonious body.

The musicians' instinctive phrasing and intonation create a perfectly balanced tone that embodies the refinement and warmth of Vienna’s orchestral tradition.

For greater flexibility, you can exclude the piccolo from the tutti ensemble via key switch if you prefer a rounder timbre.

Whether used for lyrical melodies, orchestral swells, or dynamic tutti accents, these performances deliver immediate inspiration with a natural cinematic character.


FX Woodwinds

The FX Woodwinds patches expand your orchestral palette with two specialized ensembles - Low Winds and High Winds - offering a wealth of articulations, clusters, runs, and arpeggios for instant texture and rhythmic drive.

The Low Winds ensemble (3 contrabassoons, 2 bassoons, 1 contrabass clarinet, 2 bass clarinets) provides deep, resonant foundations.

Performances include short and long notes, espressivo, swells, sforzatos, sforzatissimos, flutter tonguing, and more - available in unison, octaves, and clusters.

A crossfade patch lets you morph smoothly between unison and clustered sounds, opening up endless creative options for tension cues and dark textures.

The High Winds ensemble (1 piccolo, 3 flutes, 2 oboes, 4 clarinets) showcases the virtuosic brilliance of Vienna's top players, performing dazzling runs and arpeggios with breathtaking precision.

Runs are available in major and minor keys, diatonic modes, chromatic and whole tone scales, while arpeggios cover major, minor, diminished, augmented, and seventh chords.

You can trigger ascending or descending patterns - or both simultaneously - to create evolving, shimmering motion.
