Structure

Digidesign has extended the Structure sampler family with the introduction of two new versions that will allow even more users access to the plug-in’s capabilities.

Structure LE provides many of the same powerful and creative features as its big brother for a fraction of the price, while Structure Free offers a great introduction to Structure sample playback at no charge.

Structure LE is an advanced RTAS sample player that provides many of the same key features as Structure, allowing users to quickly and easily integrate a wide range of sounds into their Pro Tools sessions and tweak them for sound customization. Structure LE comes with a professional 3 GB sound library from the A.I.R. group, offering a wide variety of acoustic and electronic instruments and sounds.

Structure Free is a free RTAS sample player that provides a great way for users to get a taste of Structure, and offers a simplified feature set for sample playback and patch adjustment. Structure Free comes with a high quality 600 MB sound library* from the A.I.R. group, which offers an assortment of instruments and loops, including drums and percussion, bass, acoustic guitar, piano and organs, and various synth sounds.

Structure LE and Structure Free both support playback of native Structure files (all versions of Structure can play any file created with any version of Structure). Both also support playback of unencrypted SampleCell (1 and 2), Kontakt (1 and 2), and EXS24 sound libraries, and feature an integrated REX player that plays REX 1 and 2 files. Like Structure, Structure LE and Structure Free work on all Pro Tools platforms—Pro Tools|HD, Pro Tools LE, Pro Tools M-Powered, and Pro Tools Academic. Read more…

NAMM: Digidesign announced Digidesign Structure, the latest RTAS virtual instrument plug-in developed by the Advanced Instrument Research (A.I.R.) group. A professional sampler workstation designed and optimized specifically for Pro Tools, Structure includes a premium comprehensive sample library from EastWest, features support for importing SampleCell, EXS24, and Kontakt 2 sample libraries, and many more features.

“With Structure, we feel we’ve designed a real sampling workhorse that runs smoothly in very large sessions and is ready to cope with the most demanding high-end sample libraries,” said Peter Gorges, director of Digidesign’s A.I.R. group. “Of course, seamless integration with the Pro Tools audio engine was a top priority on this project, as it ensures the superior performance and stability of the plug-in. Finally, we wanted to make sure Structure offers the articulation and playability that Pro Tools users expect—all without sacrificing its ease of operation.” Read more…
