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).

A Deeply-Sampled Classic American Concert Grand

True Keys American is part of the highly acclaimed True Keys suite of virtual concert grands.

With nearly 14,000 audio files recorded with multiple high-end mics and preamps, the timeless sound of this piano is available at your fingertips.

Advanced scripting and specialized sampling replicate the fine mechanical details of the acoustic piano down to the resonances and noises of each key.


The American grand is entirely sample-based.

An easy-to-use interface offers full control of all aspects of the piano such as release trails and pedal noise.

Three individual mics plus a custom mix along with several more controls offer tremendous flexibility in getting the perfect sound.

Fast loading times and minimal resource usage made possible with the UVI Workstation sample player all make for a powerful but easy-to-use virtual piano.


A Virtual Studio At Your Fingertips

Grand pianos are large instruments and are notoriously challenging to record well.

A specific microphone in one area of the piano might work great in a jazz mix but not fit for a Romantic classical solo.

The real piano in the studio can offer many mic and placement options to dial in the perfect sound.


True Keys offers three fully mixable mic setups as well as a 'best of' mix of all mics as separate samples.

Each mic setup was chosen for its versatility and character to suit any style of playing.

The Close mics have a punchy modern sound with a wide stereo image and deep bass.

Player delivers the pianist's perspective with more distance and plenty of hammer attack.

Side is a stereo ribbon offering a warmer tone and full even response.

The Mix position is a combination of all mics for a quick and less processor-intensive option.
