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).


Two Ensembles, Infinite Flow

Duality Strings Essentials brings you the best of both worlds: the lush, cinematic sound of Hollywood-proven strings and the intimate, immediate tone of smaller ensembles, all in one powerful and accessible package.

Featuring the acclaimed new Flow View, playing has never been more intuitive or enjoyable.

This streamlined edition of Vienna's acclaimed Synchron Duality Strings provides a perfect balance of a versatile and expressive string sound, offering a carefully curated set of articulations for effortless playability - all at an irresistible price.


Features

  • Two string ensembles, one cohesive performance
  • New Flow View for instant playing fun with minimal effort
  • Flow handles articulations and musical expression in real-time
  • Blend large and small sections with a single controller
  • Use the ensembles together or separately
  • 52 Players in Stage A + 27 players in Stage B = 79 players in total
  • Upgrade price to Synchron Duality Strings (regular) available


Let It Flow

The Flow View offers an intuitive interface that places all essential controls right at your fingertips, keeping you in the creative flow.

Automated articulation switching based on playing speed and velocity, along with easy sound customization, lets you focus entirely on your music.

Adjust the balance between the large ensemble in Stage A and the smaller section in Stage B, fine-tune reverb, Humanization, timbre, note transitions, and note attack - all within Flow View.

Use the provided Precision View presets to access the full range of Synchron Player features in cases where detailed tweaking is required.


The Duality Principle

The two string ensembles were recorded simultaneously at Vienna Synchron Stage, with the larger ensemble in the Hollywood-proven Stage A and the smaller one in the drier Stage B.

Both ensembles performed together, with the conductor on the podium in Stage A also directing the ensemble in Stage B via video monitors, and that's where the magic happens.

With the musicians' ability to hear each other from different rooms, all musical aspects of their performances are perfectly in sync, such as volume, timbre, vibrato, note length, and phrasing.

This setup lets you seamlessly blend the rich, resonant sound of a full ensemble with the clear detail of a smaller group.
