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).

One of Its Kind

Studio Concert Guitar features a hand-made, one-of-its-kind concert guitar with single notes as well as chords, implemented for playing on a keyboard.

The instrument was recorded in the relatively dry and controlled environment of our second studio, the Silent Stage.

Singular

The Studio Concert Guitar is the only one of its kind.

This hand-made instrument was specially constructed with an arched back made from several pieces of wood.

Its balanced, homogeneous sound allows it to stand its ground both as a solo instrument and in accompaniment.

Chords vs Single Notes

Capturing the polyphonic nature of the concert guitar presented a unique challenge, as authentic-sounding chords can only be achieved by sampling them directly, rather than layering individual notes.

To accomplish this, our very own Thomas Meitz dedicated a year and a half to developing the library's structure as part of his concert guitar diploma.

With his extensive practical experience as both a recording engineer and chief editing engineer at Vienna Symphonic Library, Thomas was able to bring his concept to life with precision and without compromise, ensuring the highest level of authenticity.

The broad range of chords in all keys and various playing positions is offered in the categories of regular, rasgueado, rasgueado rolls, and arpeggios, available in ringing, secco, and stopped variants.

All of them are easy to access and combine, using key switches to navigate through the color-coded structure.

Sampling

The samples were recorded in a relatively dry environment on the Silent Stage, allowing you to position the instrument anywhere in the stereo field or on your virtual stage with complete flexibility.

Utilize the included mixer presets with built-in convolution reverb for ideal placement on Stage A of the Vienna Synchron Stage, or turn off any internal reverb and use an external placement and reverberation tool of your choice, such as the rooms of our Vienna MIR Pro 3D.

  • Concert guitar for solos (single notes) and accompaniment (chords)
