Enjoy smooth, uninterrupted simultaneous playback of Pro Tools audio tracks and Structure samples* — even with large-scale sessions. Regardless of how complex the sound or where it came from, the sample player maintains an incredibly responsive feel with consistent performance for optimal playability. And because Structure LE is designed and tested by Digidesign, the creators of Pro Tools, you can be assured of robust reliability now and in the future.

Wide Range of Sonic Possibilities
Structure LE comes with a professional 3 GB sound library from A.I.R. that offers a wide range of high-quality acoustic and electronic sounds and instruments for your tweaking pleasure. Get started with over 140 instruments in a wide range of musical genres, including drums and percussion, acoustic bass and guitars, pianos and keyboards, pitched percussion, choral, and a variety of synth instruments, sounds, and textures.

Structure LE 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 up to 24-bit, 192 kHz, 7.1 surround. And the built-in REX player will handle whatever tempo tantrums you work into your projects.

Powerful Yet Easy to Use
Structure LE features a powerful, advanced sound engine that enables you to play up to eight patches and up to 256 notes all at the same time per instance. While the groundbreaking technology under the hood is complex, all of the user controls are straightforward and well organized. Like Pro Tools, Structure LE 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.

Get fast access to the most important parameters through six freely assignable Smart Knobs for easy sound manipulation. Structure LE also provides patch- and part-editing controls as well as a powerful multi-effects processing engine with hundreds of effects presets for quick enhancements with zero effort. And with MIDI Learn functionality, you can easily integrate MIDI controllers or a Digidesign control surface for hands-on play.

Cross-Compatible for Easy Sound Sharing
Every sound you create in Structure LE is compatible with the entire Structure family of instruments (Structure, Structure LE, and little brother Structure Free) — 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.
