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 PSI Marimba is a 52 note, 10,221 sample, 6.2 GB (3.2 compressed) virtual Instrument, playable in the full version of Kontakt 4.2.2 and above.

The phase alignment of the audio was essential to the sound to ensure a focused tone, this had to be done for each note.

The end result represents a forensic, audiophile yet characterful recreation of a world class instrument.


Microphones

To do justice to this 6 foot long Marimba we felt it was necessary to capture its sound using 5 microphone positions.

Only this would convey its full tone and feel and also allow for endless acoustic possibilities in the mix.

Using the faders on the GUI the user can create the optimal blend of "Center" "Stereo", "Wide", "Ribbon", and "Room" mics for their purposes.

Close Mics

  • Center (Neumann TLM 103)
  • Stereo (Neumann KM184 pair)
  • Wide (AKG C414 B-ULS pair)

Ambient Mics

  • Ribbon (Coles 4038 pair)
  • Room (Neumann u87 pair)

Robert Van Sice Artist Marimba

Each note of a Robert Van Sice Artist Series 4 & 1/3 Octave Rosewood Marimba was intensively sampled in our cinematic live room to recreate the authentic sound of this beautiful instrument, using 9 microphones and with up to 23 velocity levels.


Instruments

There are 2 main instruments:

"Main" with felt beaters (contains rolls and straight hits)
"Soft" with softer beater (contains rolls and straight hits)

There are also 2 patches which contain the rolls without the standard hits, for times when you need just the roll.

The Main instruments also have have a 'Less Stereo Width' version with a narrower stereo field- for situations where the natural width of the instrument needs to be reduced.

There are also 5 bonus patches which have a a hard rubber beater, drag strokes with a felt beater and 5th, Minor 3rd, and Major 3rd intervals also with the standard felt beater.


Beaters

Paper Stone also wanted to represent the varying tones and effects created by different beaters and hitting techniques, and so have created NKIs featuring Felt beaters, Soft Felt beaters and Rubber beaters, plus straight hits, rolls and drags.
