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).

A treasure trove for anyone seeking the full range of expressive possibilities, it features 12 instruments from the flute, oboe, clarinet, and bassoon families with all their rich and nuanced timbres.

Woodwind Versatility

While some of the greatest film scores would be unimaginable without woodwinds, their tonal possibilities extend far beyond the screen, as diverse as the genres in which they've captivated millions of viewers and listeners.

Beyond the classical realm, their versatility has left a mark on countless pop, rock, and even hip-hop recordings.

Whether you're on a Mission to play your oboe in the depths of the South American jungle or want to utilize the woodwinds in a whole new urban context, this Collection rises to every creative challenge.


Dry Precision or Deep Ambience

All solo instruments were recorded in the relatively dry and controlled ambience of our very own Silent Stage.

Use the included mixer presets to enhance them with the optional convolution or algorithmic reverb, or place them in any virtual acoustic environment of your choice.

Whether you prefer it crisp and dry or rich and resonant - the choice is yours, with a host of options for tweaking and tinkering.

The Synchron Player's integrated convolution reverb is derived from our acclaimed Vienna MIR Pro 3D and adds the outstanding ambience of the 540 m2 (5,813 sq.ft.) main hall of Synchron Stage Vienna in real-time.

The perfectly engineered reverberation and placement presets combine customized impulse responses with expertly crafted reverb settings for each instrument.


Expansive Expressions

The free Expansion Set added new articulations and phrases to all instruments of Studio Woodwinds.

It now includes sforzatissimo, crescendos, diminuendos, pfp, runs, arpeggios and third trills for most of the included instruments.

You'll also find mordents (for piccolo, flute and oboe), clarinet glissandos, slap tongues, and a large set of multiphonics of the second clarinet in Bb.

Using the Synchron Player’s time-stretch feature, it's easy to change the tempo of these phrases in real-time, or to sync them to the host tempo.

The expansion set also includes "pure legatos" and "interval marcatos".

What you hear are the naturally played note transitions, from a starting note to the original, unlooped target note, making for very natural and lively legato passages since every interval is followed by an individually played sustained note.
