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).

Rich phase sweeps, deep analogue vibe, and tempo-locked modulation

From funk-laced guitars to swooshing disco drums to jazz-fusion keys and bombastic rock vocals, phase shifting is a wildly diverse effect that's at the heart of countless records from the 60s to today.

PhaseMistress captures the sounds of legendary phasers and packs them into one plug-in that takes this creative effect to the next level.

At Soundtoys, they have a bit of a phaser hoarding problem. They have them stacked in their test room, stock room and literally lining the halls.

When designing PhaseMistress, they carefully studied some of the best like the Bi-Phase, Boss Super Phaser, Phase 90, Moogerfooger 12 stage, Small Stone, Trine and many more.

They needed to be sure PhaseMistress nailed that rich, silky analogue sound.

Then they went farther and added deep tweakability and a range of inspiring rhythmic tools.


Deeply Customizable

While PhaseMistress comes packed with useful presets and an easy to use hardware-inspired interface, it also gives you deep control over the phasing "circuit" that gives this effect its distinctive sound.

You can choose from 69 different style presets that alter the phaser's internal structure.

Set the number of stages from subtle 2-stage phasing up to a wild 24 stages.

You can also fine-tune the resonance, colour and intensity of the effect to craft your own unique phase shifting styles.


Versatile and Creative

Many phasers create their whooshing sound with the help of a humble low-frequency oscillator (LFO). That's great when you want a simple back and forth sweep.

But what if you want something a bit more out there? In PhaseMistress you can choose from a multitude of creative LFO shapes that go beyond what you'll find in hardware–and you can even draw your own curves in the Tweak panel.

For cool robotic effects, try the random mode and step mode for phase shifts that jump rather than sweep.

Rhythm mode lets you program your own rhythmic patterns, or choose from some great pre-made ones, too.

And in Envelope mode, PhaseMistress responds to the dynamics of the incoming audio making it an awesome rhythm-triggered effect for funky drums, slap bass or rhythm guitar sounds.

It's on guitar, bass, drums, vocals (Queen, ELO, Pink Floyd anybody?), even whole mixes.

We've heard crushed envelope phased drums and gritty phased out radio guitar. Turns out it's more powerful than even we thought. This is one phase you won't grow out of.
