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).

Section Essentials

Big Bang Orchestra: Altair presents a different take on Vienna's Synchron full orchestra recordings and is the perfect enhancement to the tutti performances of Big Bang Orchestra: Andromeda.

BBO: Altair provides completely new recordings of short and long notes that are played by the individual sections of the orchestra, as well as by all of them together (tutti).

The appeal of this BBO Pack lies in the particular way the tutti performances and the sections of strings, woodwinds, and brass were recorded.

In the first pass, each note was played by the entire orchestra. Immediately afterwards, each section played this note with the same phrasing and style.

It's as though the entire orchestra played the notes together, but in fact they didn't - you have separate recordings of strings, woodwinds, and brass ensembles available that you can combine and orchestrate any way you like.

You can easily switch between the various registrations in the Vienna Synchron Player that offers the tutti patch, the individual patches of strings, woodwinds, and brass, as well as combinations of strings/woodwinds, strings/brass, and woodwinds/brass.

They all mix and match perfectly, and with the corresponding mixer presets they also blend seamlessly with the performances of BBO: Andromeda, as well as all the other Big Bang Orchestra Packs.

What's more, if you have BBO: Andromeda, BBO: Altair also provides you with slightly different tutti articulations. They're similar in sound and phrasing, but not the same, offering more variety and depth to your tutti performances as well as more options for layering!

Microphone Setup

BBO: Altair uses the same microphone configuration that was used for recording BBO: Andromeda, giving you access to a total of eleven mic setups that the Vienna Synchron Player provides you with:

  • Main (Decca Tree Stereo)
  • Main (Decca Tree Center)
  • Main Surround Stereo
  • High Stereo
  • High Surround Stereo
  • High Strings
