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).

Classical. Jazz. Rock.

This library is based on the VI Single Instruments Upright Bass, Concert Guitar, and Overdrive, customized and enhanced for the new Synchron Player.

Vienna's editors and engineers updated and re-edited all three instruments to improve their ease-of-use and playability, with the goal of enabling authentic performances as their first priority, especially for playing these instruments on the keyboard.

The team not only improved the sample database, for example by optimizing all release sounds, but also revised and further developed the Synchron Player's Velocity Crossfade feature to adapt it to the sonic behavior of plucked instruments.


Making use of the Synchron Player's straightforward preset and patch structure, the wide variety of articulations is clearly laid out and therefore easily accessible, making the instruments and each of their deep sonic possibilities a breeze to navigate and play.

Expertly crafted mixer presets with the customized impulse responses of Synchron Stage Vienna for solo and orchestral settings make placing these instruments on the scoring stage or in your mix fast and simple.


Upright Bass

Upright Bass features recordings of a plucked bass with a variety of jazz playing techniques, performed by Bernd Konzett, a well-known jazz bassist from the Austrian state of Vorarlberg.

The articulations are played pizzicato and include staccatos, portatos and sustains with various vibrato strengths, legatos, slow and fast glissandos, repetitions, ghost notes as well as single, double and triple upbeats at various tempos.

The Upright Bass sample set is rounded off by snaps, noises, and various other effects.


Concert Guitar

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

This hand-made instrument with its balanced, homogeneous sound allows it to stand its ground as a solo instrument as well as in accompaniment, offering single notes and chords.

The single notes include various short notes (including Bartok, étouffé and hammer-ons), long notes (including flautando, ponticello, Bartok, étouffé, natural and artificial harmonics), legatos, glissandos, repetitions, tremolos, trills, bends and effects such as harp, golpe, tambora, scratches and chord mutes.

The broad range of chords in all keys and various playing positions are offered in the categories of regular, rasgueado, rasgueado rolls and arpeggios, 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.


Overdrive - Distorted Electric Guitar

Overdrive features distorted tube sound recordings of a legendary Steve Vai signature seven-string guitar, played through a Brunetti XL II R-EVO amp head and a Marshall 1960TV 4x12" cabinet.

Along with various short and sustained notes (with or without vibrato, or whammy bar), you get legatos, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, repetitions, tremolos, trills, grace notes, natural and artificial harmonics as well as a large variety of scale runs.

A special treat are the various flavors of chords, especially the mighty power chords for those about to rock! What's more, you can make some noise with loads of effects such as feedbacks, scratches, and e-bowed notes.

All notes start at B0 on the lower end, extending the range of a standard guitar down a 4th.
