The Structure database is empty or the database file was deleted or corrupted. ...

The Structure database is empty or the database file was deleted or corrupted. To restore the database the content has to be scanned again. This process is usually triggered by installing new content. To avoid this, users have to uninstall and reinstall the plug-in and the content files. In order to prevent a hangup while scanning new content after reinstallation, one of the following methods should be used. First, note the following: The main structure preference is located in home/library/preferences/com.digidesign.structure.plist While installing Structure content, the path where the content is located gets written into the structure.plist in the entry: scandirs After instantiating Structure and scanning the content for the first time another entry gets added to the structure.plist: _scanneddirs Method a) In case that the user has a plist editor installed, he can delete the _scanneddirs entry manually. (There are freeware tools to edit the plist like “Pref Setter”) - Double-click to open your Structure plist file: /home/library/com.digidesign.Structure.plist - Delete the _scanneddirs entry. - Make sure the scandirs entry is linked to the correct content location. Default: /Applications/Digidesign/Structure - Close the plist and don't forget to save. - Delete the database file: /Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Air/content/air.db Now the Database should be restored the next time you instantiate Structure. Method b) If a plist editor is not installed, the user can just copy and paste the following command line into the terminal to delete the _scanneddirs entry: defaults delete "/Users/$USER/Library/Preferences/com.digidesign.Structure" "_scanneddirs" [Page View]

How do you map MIDI CC (continuous controller) messages to the Global FX in Structure? If you have Structure or Structure LE instantiated in a session, you can choose 'Structure 1 Send Effects' from the MIDI output selector on the corresponding MIDI or instrument track.

Structure has no effects. Cannot add effects parts to a patch, and no ...

Structure has no effects. Cannot add effects parts to a patch, and no effects are available in the Global Effects Page in Mac OS X. This can occur if you have previously installed Structure free, and then installed Structure or Structure LE without removing all previously installed components. Structure's effects parts are located: Macintosh HD/Users/Shared/Library/ApplicationSupport/Digidesign/AIR/Structure/Settings. Typically, if you cannot access the effects within Structure, the permissions on one or more of these folders will be incorrect. Make sure that the permissions are set to Read and Write for each of these folders. Usually, the folder will have a red mark on the icon if the permissions are incorrect. You may also simply navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Digidesign, drag the AIR folder to the trash, and then reinstall the Structure plug-in. [Page View]

I am upgrading from Structure Free to either Structure or Structure LE. ...

I am upgrading from Structure Free to either Structure or Structure LE. Do I need to uninstall Structure Free? Yes, it is a good idea to fully uninstall Structure Free before installing Structure or Structure LE. The following procedure will help to insure a problem-free upgrade: 1) Navigate to Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Digidesign/Plug-ins and drag the 'Structure.dpm' file to the trash. This is the actual Structure Free plug-in. 2) Next, go to Macintosh HD/Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Digidesign and drag the folder called 'AIR' to the trash. This folder contains all of Structure Free's favorites and effects parts. 3) Next, go to Macintosh HD/Users/Home(house icon with your user name)/Library/Preferences and drag 'com.digidesign.Structure.plist' to the trash. This is a preference file. 4) Then go to Macintosh HD/Library/Preferences. There may be another file here called com.digidesign.Structure.plist. If it is there, drag it to the trash. If not, skip this step. This is just another preference file. All of these files will be re-written once you have installed and used the upgrade for the first time. There is also a 'Structure' folder in Macintosh HD/Applications/Digidesign. There is no need to delete this folder as this contains Structure Free's installed content. You will still be able to access this content with Structure or Structure LE once installed, so you can leave that folder in place. You are now ready to install either the full version of Structure or Structure LE. [Page View]

How to move your Structure Factory content.

How to move your Structure Factory content. The Structure Plug-in guide states the following: To allow Structure to find the samples belonging to the factory library patches, do not separate the folder named Structure Encrypted Samples and the Patch folder named Structure Factory Libraries. Structure will find and load its relevant samples on any drive as long as the folder layout is intact. It has been found that this is not always ideal, and moving the folder containing the patches to a location other than the default can cause difficulties later on. If you do choose to move your factory content, it is usually more effective to leave the actual 'Structure Factory Libraries' folder in it's default install location, and instead only move the 'Structure Encrypted Samples' folder to whatever location you choose. To point Structure to the new location after moving the 'Structure Encrypted Samples' folder: 1 Go to Structure’s Setup page, select the Content tab. 2 In the Content Search Folders section, type in the new path of the Structure Factory Libraries folder. 3 Click Search Now. Leaving the Structure patches in the default location and only moving the samples themselves should keep the database and favorites intact. The same procedure here can be applied to the additional content such as Goliath. In most cases, it is best to only move the Samples folders and leave the patches in their default install location.

How to add a file or folder to the "Favorites" in Structure on Mac OS ...

How to add a file or folder to the "Favorites" in Structure on Mac OS X. If you move your factory libraries after installation, it will be necessary to add the new location to your Favorites so that you can have easy access to the patches by clicking "Add Patch" in the Structure plug-in. To do this, follow these steps: 1) Once you have moved your factory libraries, open Structure's browser page and navigate to the new location of the folder containing the patches. 2) You will need to navigate to the interior of the folder you wish to add, so that you can see the full path of the patch folder at the top of the browser window, and see all of the individual patch category folders in the browser. -For example, if you are trying to add the Structure Factory Library patches, the path displayed at the top of the browser window when you go to the next step should end in /Structure/Structure Factory Libraries. If you are trying to add the Goliath patches to your favorites, you will need to see /Goliath - Structure Edition/Programs at the end of the path. 3) Now click the "Add to Favorites" button. It is the + sign at the top of the browser window. This will open a dialog that should point to the favorites folder by default, so at this point you just need to give this favorite a name (i.e. Structure Factory Patches or Goliath Patches) and click "Save". You will now have access to all the patch categories and patches contained within from the "Add Patch" selection in the patch list menu. Another method for adding a folder to Favorites is to create an alias for the folder you wish to add, and drag it in to Structure's "Favorites" folder using the Finder. The "Favorites" folder is located in /Users/Shared/Library/Application Support/Digidesign/AIR/Structure/ by default. You can drag an alias that points to the folder you wish to add here, and it will appear in the "Add Patch" list in Structure. [Page View]

The .big sample files from the Structure Encrypted Samples folder can not be dragged into Structure's patch list. These files cannot be accesssed directly. However, once a patch is loaded that contains one of these files, the patch and associated samples may be freely edited and saved as a new patch. Keep in mind that an edited patch from Structure's factory content can only be saved "Without Samples". This is to prevent the samples themselves from being saved in a decrypted state (for copy protection purposes). [Page View]
