Unprecedented Creative Options
Once the sounds are loaded, the fun begins. Structure offers a treasure trove of sound manipulation, editing, layering and signal-processing capabilities that enables you to sculpt complex sounds quickly and easily.
Sound Engine Fosters Unrestrained Creativity
Sound Engine Fosters Unrestrained CreativityAt 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. 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, 192kHz, 7.1 surround audio. Plus, its built-in REX file player can handle whatever tempo tantrums you may wish to work into your projects.
Tweak Sounds Directly in Structure
Forget about having to export samples to Pro Tools just to edit the sounds you want to use. Structure comes equipped with a fully resizable, integrated Sample Editor, enabling you to tweak a sound to your heart’s content without having to go back and forth with Pro Tools to fine-tune it. Whether you’re looking to craft a new musical instrument to fit the vibe or timing of a song—or want to morph several sounds together to create a succinct sound effect for film—the Sample Editor allows you to rework sounds quickly and deeply.
The Sample Editor features a multi-frame layout and 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.
Fine-Tune Sounds with Powerful Effects
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.
You can insert an unlimited number of effects within each patch, and route any patch, part, or individual zone within any given part of a patch 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 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 M-Audio or Digidesign control surface.
Structure also features six Smart Knobs that provide easy access to an individual patch’s key sonic parameters. For example, a drum patch may provide quick access to its various mic, EQ and room size settings through the Smart Knobs. You can also easily assign any rotary controller within the Structure interface to a knob on your own hardware MIDI controller or M-Audio/Digidesign control surface for total hands-on, real-time control.
With its unprecedented creative capabilities, incredible musical playability, and rock-solid performance and reliability, Structure is destined to become the core instrument in your music and post-production projects.
