As if Pro Tools wasn't an impressive enough digital work station that quickly became an industry standard in music, TV, and film, now Digidesign (the brains behind it) has given it even more muscle. Introducing Structure, an exclusive RTAS virtual instrument that allows Pro Tools users to do complex sample manipulation in real time via a very uncomplicated interface.
Since Digidesign Structure's playback engine is optimized to work with the Pro Tools disk engine, you can push the limits of your sampling creativity with no fear. Utilize the nearly 20 GB worth of samples from premium sound libraries A.I.R. and EastWest (including a 30-day trial of the Structure Edition of Goliath), use your own sample libraries, or create your own by dragging-and-dropping in Pro Tools' audio regions. The 128-level multitimbral sound engine supports an unlimited number of nestable patches and is an effective sample manager. It also has a powerful multi-effects processing engine as well.
While Structure can do a lot of complex things with sound, the interface and all operational controls are organized in a very simple manner. The built-in database and file browser allow you to find sounds in a variety of ways so you cut down on search time and spend that extra time refining. The Sampler Virtual Instrument has a built-in keyboard for note-testing and six Smart Knobs for easy access to your favorite parameters. Connect a MIDI controller for even more sound triggering and musical performance options-Structure can take it.
Here's some sound advice: If you've got Pro Tools, you've got to give it some Structure.
