Musicians and producers looking for a powerful, full-featured sampler instrument will not be thrilled with the AIR Music Technology Structure 2, a multitimbral instrument with a built-in sample library and editor that enables you to combine, layer, and edit your samples. Create complex, rich patches by blending together multiple samples and effects. Each patch can have an unlimited number of parts, and each part can consist of a single sample, multiple samples, a sub-patch, a MIDI processor, and audio and MIDI effects.
Structure 2 includes a massive 37+GB premium sample library, which includes just about every instrument imaginable including some exclusive orchestral elements (strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion), acoustic and electronic drums (including 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.
Additionally, the software is compatible with several 3rd party libraries, allowing you to load and manipulate unencrypted Avid SampleCell, Native Instruments Kontakt, and Apple Logic Sampler sound libraries. Structure supports samples in common audio format bit depth and sample rates up to 24-bit, 192 kHz, and 7.1 surround audio. Plus, its built-in REX file player can handle any tempo you may wish to work into your projects.
The integrated Sample Editor allows you to tweak and fine-tune your sound without leaving your DAW. You'll find per-zone editing, which lets you alter different characteristics of sound using standard waveform tools. You can also manipulate parameters such as filter, pitch, envelope, amp envelope, output, and effects routing.
Structure 2's integrated multi-effects processor provides over 20 types of world-class effects algorithms in stereo and surround. You'll find a variety of reverbs, delays, EQs, compression, and more. Dial in your own sonic creation or use one of hundreds of presets for fast and efficient results. An unlimited number of effects can be inserted into each patch, and you can route any patch, part, or zone to four global effects sends, each of which includes four inserts.
Structure 2 includes an intuitive browsing system, which helps you locate sounds quickly and manages your library. Search by type, instrument, manufacturer, style, name, and more. Plus, you can audition the samples from the browser. Structure's interface is designed to give you intuitive control without over complicating things. The interface includes a keyboard that lets you test notes and play parts. All controls are mappable to a controller, providing hands-on real-time control. Structure 2 is Mac and Windows compatible and works within most major DAWs as an AAX, AU, or VST plug-in.
