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).

This bundle includes:

  • True Keys American Grand
  • True Keys German Grand
  • True Keys Italian Grand

American Grand

True Keys American delivers the majestic sound of the Steinway D nine-foot concert grand.

With powerful bass, robust attack, and deep sustaining overtones, this versatile instrument can rise above a full orchestra or stand out in a busy mix.

It also has a dark delicate side, mellow and rich, especially when played with the stereo ribbon Side mic.

This grand has a classic American sound and is a staple of stages and studios worldwide.


Italian Grand

True Keys Italian is the largest piano in this collection and has the brightest sound.

Often crowned the world's best piano, the Fazioli F308 provides the sound for our Italian grand

At a staggering 10 feet 2 inches in length, the instrument has immense power with long sustains and rich harmonics.

The Una Corda pedal is particularly expressive letting you go from whisper soft to a thunderous fortissimo instantly, with even voicing across the entire register.


German Grand

True Keys German puts you at the keys of the superb Bechstein semi-concert grand and has the shortest length of the True Keys pianos at about 7 feet 5 inches.

These pianos are known for their precision voicing, clear bell-like tones, and deep bass.

Smaller in scale than a 9-foot concert grand, it can be less obtrusive in a mix but still cut through when aggressively played.

It's also most suitable of the True Keys pianos for soft lyrical playing.


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.
