Free sample player for Pro Tools
If you’re looking to get a taste of what the world of Structure™, the future of professional sampling, has to offer, Structure™ Free offers a great introduction without paying a price — literally. Developed by the acclaimed Digidesign® Advanced Instrument Research (A.I.R.) group, Structure Free is a free sample player for Pro Tools® that provides some of the key features of its big brother, Structure, allowing you to quickly and easily integrate a wide range of sounds into your Pro Tools sessions and tweak them to make them your own.
Structure Free comes with a high quality 885+ MB sound library* from A.I.R. to get you started, though it also plays nice with native Structure samples and your unencrypted sound libraries. And like its big brother, Structure Free delivers exceptional performance and unprecedented reliability to keep your creativity flowing.

Designed and Optimised for Pro Tools |

Great Sonic Opportunities |
Structure Free comes with over 885 MB of high quality sounds from A.I.R.**, which offers an assortment of acoustic and electronic sounds and instruments for your tweaking pleasure. Get started with 60 instruments and loops, including drums and percussion, bass, acoustic guitar, piano and organs, and various synth sounds.
Structure Free also plays nice with your existing sound libraries, allowing you to import native Structure samples and unencrypted Digidesign® SampleCell™, Native Instruments Kontakt 1 and 2, and Apple EXS24 sound libraries. Or drag and drop any Pro Tools audio region straight into the sample player to create something completely unique. It also plays all common audio files with up to 24-bit, 192 kHz resolution. And the built-in REX player will handle whatever tempo tantrums you work into your projects.

Powerful Yet Easy to Use |
Structure Free enables you to play up to four patches and up to 64 notes all at the same time in stereo (imported surround sounds play back in stereo). But while the technology under the hood is complex, all of the user controls are straightforward. Like Pro Tools, Structure Free features an intuitive user interface that’s designed for complete ease of use, allowing you to effortlessly play and alter sounds at the speed of your imagination.
Easily manipulate sounds using the six Smart Knobs, which provide fast access to the most important parameters, and the patch-editing controls. It also offers limited MIDI Learn functionality for hands-on play via a MIDI controller. And though you can’t add or edit effects, Structure Free does include the same powerful multi-effects processing engine and effects as Structure and Structure LE, allowing you to play back any native Structure sample complete with effects.
|
|
Cross-Compatible for Easy Sound Sharing |
Every sound you create in Structure Free is compatible with the entire Structure family of instruments (which includes Structure and Structure LE) — and vice-versa — allowing you to easily exchange sounds with others in the Structure community. Add your own creations to the Structure sound gene pool, and even take your sound collection with you to any system with any version of Structure installed.
