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).

Second Violins

This String Section Pack brings the realism and artistry of Synchron Strings Pro to the Big Bang Orchestra. BBO: Ursa is packed with vivid ensemble performances, featuring 10 acclaimed violin players from the Synchron Stage Orchestra who perform frequently on diverse productions from Hollywood film scores to movie trailers, BBC documentaries, and classical recordings.

The homogeneous, well-balanced sound of this cohesive, well-rehearsed violin ensemble was captured at Synchron Stage Vienna where the outstanding acoustics and the team's engineering know-how yield recordings that effortlessly transform your arrangements into organically passionate pieces of music.

All articulations were taken from Synchron Strings Pro, including short notes (bold, agile, fortissimo), long notes with light and strong vibrato (blendable) as well as played espressivo, legatos with light and strong vibrato as well as with marcato attacks, sforzato, several swells, pizzicatos, and tremolos. The included measured tremolos, which are fast note repetitions at 120, 130, 140, and 160 bpm, can be synced to the host tempo. BBO: Ursa also includes Vienna's unique soft releases of long notes, where the musicians carefully play slightly longer note fade-outs that sound very musical without having to use MIDI controllers to shape the ending of a tone.

The included mixer presets deliver a perfect sound out-of-the-box that integrates seamlessly with all the other modules of the Big Bang Orchestra series. Room Mixes feature an excellent blend of overhead Decca tree mics and surround mics mixed to a stereo signal that's light on CPU and RAM. Other Mixer Presets offer a combination of mic signals that you can adjust to your needs and liking. These include "Decca Tree" and "Surround to Stereo Downmix" presets, the latter feeding the surround mics to the stereo signal for a richer and wider sound. Also included are "Surround" presets for immersive audio setups such as Dolby Atmos and Auro-3D.
