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 Softest Strings You’ve Never Heard

5 string sections playing "sul tasto":
  • 8 First Violins, 8 Second Violins, 6 Violas, 6 Cellos, 4 Double Basses
  • Authentic ensemble sound with direct access to each voice
  • Humanize Presets for real-time control of performance accuracy
  • Optimized for our free, easy-to-use Vienna Synchron Player
  • Individual impulse responses from Synchron Stage Vienna for placement and reverberation of each musician of the ensemble
  • Production-ready sound, out of the box

"Sul tasto" – Played Near the Fingerboard

This Collection features five string ensembles that were exclusively played “sul tasto”. This special playing technique is characterized by placing the bow near the fingerboard, resulting in a lack of (even) harmonics and a very soft, breathy timbre, similar to that of a flute playing in pianissimo. The sul tasto articulations include staccato, détaché, sustain, tremolo, tremolo with fast attack, slow tremolo, sforzato, legato, portamento, legato repetitions and spiccato repetitions.

The Synchron Player’s ability to gradually increase the number of players opens all-new possibilities for starting your arrangements “dal niente” (from nothing), or to fade out a note to little more than a bare whisper (“al niente”). By adding the ambience of Synchron Stage Vienna to the relatively dry samples in real-time, SYNCHRON-ized Dimension Strings III perfectly blends with every other product in the Synchron Series, resulting in a beautiful, production-ready sound “out of the box”.


Stunning Realism Through Imperfection

The string players of SYNCHRON-ized Dimension Strings III were recorded in homogeneous groups, capturing all of the human interactions and slight imperfections of a live performance. Individual microphones for each player allow you to access each voice of the ensemble individually. Making use of the new Synchron Player, SYNCHRON-ized Dimension Strings III offers a wide variety of articulations, organized in the player’s clearly laid out structure, and is therefore easy to navigate and to play.

You may easily switch between any number of musicians of the ensembles in one instance of the Synchron Player, from the principal to single desks to the full ensemble size. What’s more, you can automate the integrated mixer and therefore control the volume of each player separately. Each ensemble instrument has its own Synchron Stage Impulse Response for placement and reverberation, so it’s a breeze to use each Dimension Strings ensemble in one instance of the Synchron Player.


World-Class Acoustics

SYNCHRON-ized Dimension Strings III comes with our free Vienna Synchron Player that incorporates the most powerful sample playback engine on the market. The new “Dimension Tree” structure lets you easily and intuitively access all available articulations as you play. The player comes with a specifically designed convolution reverb derived from Vienna MIR Pro, featuring the outstanding and unique ambience of the 540 m² (5,813 sq.ft.) main hall of Synchron Stage Vienna. The perfectly engineered reverberation and placement presets for each ensemble and even for each musician of the ensembles combine customized impulse responses with expertly crafted reverb settings for a beautifully balanced sound.
