Sampling Engine and Sound Library

Structure 2 is built around a 128-level multi-timbral sound engine. Each part can hold a single sample, several samples, a sub-patch, a MIDI processor, or audio and MIDI effects, and these elements can be rearranged and adjusted freely.

The built-in library is 37+GB and includes orchestral strings, brass, woodwinds and percussion, acoustic and electronic drums, pianos and keyboards, choral sounds, guitars, basses, synth pads, synth leads, and atmospheres. Unencrypted SampleCell, Kontakt and EXS24 libraries can be loaded alongside it, and the built-in REX player handles REX 1 and 2 files at any tempo.

Sample Editor and Effects Routing

The integrated Sample Editor lets you adjust sounds without leaving your DAW. It offers per-zone editing with standard waveform tools, and you can change pitch, envelopes, filter, output and effects routing. The window can be resized for precise work.

The multi-effects engine offers more than 20 effect types in stereo and surround, including reverbs with convolution options, delays, compressors and EQs. Any patch, part or zone can route to four global effects sends, each with four effects inserts. Up to 31 auxiliary outputs support discrete source mixing.
