Default Options other than Structure

Wondering if there are some good options for M1 Silicon compatible plug ins that are similar to what Structure offered - wide range of instruments / sounds... or similar to XPand, which I also like. Thanks...

There are some good sampler plugins but not necessarily with a library like Stucture... Check Steinberg Halion or IK Sampletank (if you can withstand their unfriendly licensing and install manager)

Xpand is kind of a rompler/synth in one. So I'd recommend UVI Falcon which is amazing. It's also a sampler so could kill two birds here. You could also look at Omnisphere or honestly the aforementioned Halion which has a lot of new features to compete with these other two.

Pour one out for Structure. Honestly I could get by with it is as my only non-drum/percussion VI.

Structure is truly unique in many ways, even though there are some things I wish like heck AIR would address. Very few sample based VI's make creating your owns sounds from your own samples are easy and nicely as Structure does. Falcon, which was mentioned earlier, certainly offers a great way to use your own samples to create sounds, along with many other ways, but it is a beast, is not cheap, and takes some time to learn. Same for Omnisphere. Both of those are great.



But for simplicity with great sound, I still like Structure!

I now use Omnisphere as my (nearly) do-everything non-percussion VI.
But it feels far more complicated & "heavy" than Structure.
Oh well. Time's change.

An easier to use sampler without a library is TAL Sampler. It's great.

Also TX16Wx, although that one is a bit geekier (good for those of us that used hardware samplers though)

UVI workstation (free)
Soundpaint (free)

Both capable with user sample making.

I create samples in Kontakt. Happy to see Structure go, to be honest. It felt antiquated even upon its initial release.

Is there something it does that others cannot (other than playing back its own brand of sample libraries)?
