Digidesign releases Structure

Digidesign has released Structure, a powerful sampler virtual instrument (RTAS).

Structure comes with an extensive library of high-quality sounds from A.I.R. (Advanced Instrument Research) and EastWest, welcomes the use of your own sample libraries, and lets you create your own samples directly from your Pro Tools sessions via drag-and-drop.

It also features an impressive universal sound engine with support for an unlimited number of nestable patches, optimally manages sample streaming along with Pro Tools playback, and includes a powerful multi-effects processing engine.
