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).


Rare Signals presents a new standard in Plate Reverb plug-ins modeled from the finest analog plates of Europe and The U.S.

With 24 independent decay settings, and reverb tails that remain un-manipulated, preserving the natural sustain and stereo spread of the actual analog giants.


The goal was to make the absolute best recreations of the most legendary studio reverb plates that were produced in both Europe and in the USA in the 1960s and '70s.

We had access to the finest possible examples of these 600+ lb analog giants as well as a top-notch technical staff to get them in like-new condition.

The plates were tuned and serviced inside, and out to optimize the performance and even surpass the original specs in some cases.

We were actually able to acquire a six-second decay time from our European plate...that's a full second more than the original specification!


Operation

The Transatlantic Plate Reverb was designed with simplicity as a paramount feature.

We deliberately made the functions and the layout of controls as intuitive as possible.

We love the idea that you can begin using it right away...without scrolling through the pages of a manual.

That being said, there are some functions regarding automation features, details about the modes and decay properties...as well as some tips for CPU optimization that might interest you, these are explained in the manual.


About The Reverb Tails

There is something very special about the way a perfectly tuned plate decays.

However, it's not uncommon for some plugin manufacturers to manipulate the impulses used in the modeling process to make sense mathematically in a certain user interface.

This manipulation allows for decay control settings to be precise (1 sec., 1.5 sec., 2 sec. and so on).

When dealing with an analog plate in the real world, decay times are hard to predict, let alone make perfectly even (value-wise).

Manipulating reverb tails to fit conveniently into a user interface just sounds wrong (literally).

You'll notice that the decay times on the Transatlantic Plate Reverb reflect the true decay time of any particular setting.

When switching between the EU/US modes, the current decay setting will jump to the closest value in the new mode.

The result in sound quality far outweighs the ability to select even numbers on a dial.
