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).

Steven Slate TRIGGER 2.0 is the audio industry's not-so-secret weapon for getting big, professional drum sounds in mixes.

TRIGGER has a phase-accurate multi-layered triggering engine.

This means that in one instance of the plugin, you can seamlessly trigger 8 stereo samples simultaneously such as a close mic sample, stereo overhead sample, and stereo room mic samples.

Or, mix many direct mic samples to develop your own custom unique sounds.

This multi-channel triggering functionality allows the user to recreate the sound of natural drums with real multitracked samples.

Each sample layer has parameters for customization such as velocity and dynamic control, attack, sustain, release, and independent levels.


Industry Standard Drum Library

TRIGGER comes stock with a library of the industry-standard drum samples created by Steven Slate. Elite mixers such as Chris Lord Alge, Ross Hogarth, Justin Neibank, Dave Way, Jeff Juliano, Jay Baumgardner, Ben Grosse, David Kahn, Ryan Williams, and many more top names have relied on Slate's samples to help enhance the drum sounds in their mixes for years.

All the samples in Trigger are recorded to 2-inch tape and processed with the finest in vintage and modern analog gear.

TRIGGER can also load expansion libraries such as Steven Slate Deluxe, Chris Lord Alge, Terry Date, Blackbird Studios, and David Bendeth (sold separately).


Eight Layers of Samples

TRIGGER allows you to layer eight multi-velocity samples in its sample mixer.

That means you can have multiple close-mic layers, overhead layers, room mic layers, and more, all in one sample instance.

Using the classic mixer, you can craft the perfect final sample tone.

The eight-channel mixer also allows you to create hybrid sample sounds using different drum samples and mixing them together.


Transient Driven Gate

TRIGGER's transient driven gate has been praised by audio engineers for its ability to cleanly and precisely clean up tracks with ease.


Leakage Suppression

TRIGGER’s proprietary leakage suppression allows you to send spill tracks to the plugin so it can intelligently ignore the leakage in a track, so you can get extremely low-velocity sample replacement without mistriggering.


MIDI In and Out

TRIGGER's MIDI engine allows you to trigger audio from MIDI and can turn audio tracks into MIDI tracks via drag and drop.


Features

  • 46 Snares (Including 2 high-detailed Deluxe snares with adjustable overheads and 12 alternation hits per each velocity)
  • 33 Kick Drums (Including 2 Deluxe kick drums)
  • 8 Sets of Toms.


Trigger Instrument Editor

Use the updated Trigger Instrument Editor to design your own multi-velocity, round-robin drum samples to use in Trigger 2 drum replacer, FOR FREE!

This easy-to-use standalone application automatically calculates velocities, features a resizable GUI with retina support, and utilizes optimized AAMG profiles for enhanced natural playback.

Along with loads of other improvements, the new Instrument Editor lets you create better samples in less time. All Trigger 2 users can download the instrument editor from the Steven Slate Audio Center.
