With its incredible musical playability and rock-solid performance and reliability, Structure is destined to become the core instrument in your music and post-production projects.

Designed and Optimized for Pro Tools

Structure is purposely built and optimized exclusively for Pro Tools, ensuring the utmost in performance no matter how hard your creativity pushes it. The Structure playback engine tightly couples with the Pro Tools disk engine, allowing optimal sample streaming from disk in conjunction with Pro Tools audio track operations**. Enjoy smooth, uninterrupted playback whether you choose to stream samples from disk (great for longer samples) or from RAM only (for optimal playability and response).
This exclusive integration also gives way to other unprecedented features, including the ability to drag and drop Pro Tools regions directly into Structure, and control multiple facets of the sampler with a Avid control surface (or a MIDI controller). And because Structure is designed and tested by Avid, creators of Pro Tools, you can be assured of robust reliability now and in the future.

Massive Sonic Opportunities

Structure comes with a massive 17.5 GB premium factory sound library from A.I.R, including 5 GB of all new samples and loops. This latest collection equips you with almost every instrument imaginable, and includes brand new, A.I.R.-exclusive orchestral elements (strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion), acoustic and electronic drums (including new Nashville Signature drum kits captured from sessions at the famed Blackbird Studios), hand and pitched percussion, pianos and keyboards (including a new high-definition grand piano), choral sounds, guitars, basses, synth pads, synth leads, surround sounds, and atmospheres.

Structure also plays nice with your existing sound libraries, allowing you to freely load and manipulate unencrypted Avid SampleCell (1 and 2), Native Instruments Kontakt (1–3), Tascam GigaSampler, and Apple Logic EXS24 sound libraries. But if uniqueness is what you strive for, Structure also lets you create your own samples by simply dragging and dropping any audio region from Pro Tools straight into Structure.

Efficient and Easy to Use

While the groundbreaking technology under the hood is meticulously elaborate, Avid took great care in making sure that the Structure interface and all operational controls are straightforward and well organized, allowing you to spend more time creating. After all, complexity should only be revered in the sounds you create — not in the path to creation.

Structure features a built-in database and file browser to help you locate sounds quickly and manage your sound library with ease. Search for sounds by instrument type, manufacturer, style, name, and more, and audition samples right in the browser to find that perfect starting point fast. You can also register, categorize, and edit any file’s metadata to optimize your search results.

Unprecedented Creative Options

At its core, Structure boasts an impressive and powerful 128-level multitimbral universal sound engine that supports an unlimited number of patches and up to 8-channel interleaved samples. Each patch can have an unlimited number of parts. Each part can consist of a sample, multiple samples, a sub-patch, or a MIDI processor, plus audio and MIDI effects, which can be rearranged at whim for quick and easy sound experimentation. What does that mean for you? Total unrestrained sonic creativity.

Go ahead — layer on a multitude of samples and effects with a heavy hand. Switch things around to see how parts play out and then do it again and again. Broaden your soundscape up to 7.1 surround wide. Or even send different voices from one instance of Structure through multiple outputs into Pro Tools for discrete mixing and signal processing. Structure can take on samples with any standard bit depth, sample rate, and surround format — up to 24-bit, 192 kHz, 7.1 surround audio. Plus, its built-in REX file player can handle whatever tempo tantrums you may wish to work into your projects.

What’s more, the latest version of Structure provides new orchestra MIDI control features that enable you to create ultra-realistic performances that simulate a range of playing styles. Used in conjunction with the included orchestral sounds, you can create symphonic parts complete with all the expressive nuances of a seasoned musician.

Total Tweaking Delight

Forget about having to export samples to Pro Tools just to edit the sounds you want to work with. Structure comes equipped with a fully resizable, integrated Sample Editor, enabling you to tweak a sound to your heart’s content. It also provides per-zone editing, allowing you to alter different facets of a sound using standard waveform tools or by manipulating various parameters, including the pitch, envelope, filter, amplifier envelope, output, and effects routing. Because it’s fully resizable, you can stretch it out as far as your screen real estate will allow, enabling you to create complex sounds with multiple zones and see all of the nitty-gritty details.

To really make your instruments, effects, and soundscapes shine, Structure features an integrated multi-effects processing engine that offers over 20 types of world-class effects algorithms in stereo and surround. Choose from a variety of reverbs (including stereo and surround convolution reverbs), delays, compressors, EQs, and more. You can meticulously dial-up the perfect effect to complement your sound or select any of the hundreds of presets for a quick enhancement with zero effort. Insert an unlimited number of effects within each patch, and route any patch, part, or zone to four global effects sends — each of which features four effects inserts — enabling you to powerfully fine-tune each facet of your creation for unprecedented patch design.

Real-Time Playability and Control

Structure is a musical instrument at its heart. Regardless of how complex your sound designs may become, Structure maintains an incredibly responsive feel with consistent performance for optimal playability — whether you’re triggering keys from the user interface or a connected MIDI controller, or interacting with the sampler through a Avid control surface.

The Structure interface features a built-in keyboard that allows you to test notes and play parts at any time — even during Pro Tools playback — or connect a MIDI controller for full hands-on sound triggering and musical performances. It also features six Smart Knobs that provide easy access to key sonic parameters on a patch-by-patch basis. You can also easily assign any rotary controller within the Structure interface to a knob on your own hardware MIDI controller or Avid control surface for total hands-on, real-time control.
