Structure Virtual Instrument - only playing beginning of samples
Hi everyone.
I'm using the full version of Structure 2 on Pro Tools 2020.5. During playback, it will only play the beginning fragment of each sample (maybe 500 milliseconds each, or less). I understand that this may be a compatibility issue with macOS Catalina, as the plugin works correctly on a Windows machine. Are there any work-arounds to make this function correctly on Catalina, as the system is managed by another department and downgrading to an earlier version of macOS is not an option. Thanks for your help! |

Re: Structure Virtual Instrument - only playing beginning of samples
Sounds similar to:
AIR Mini Grand: no 'long' sound, just short notes http://duc.avid.com/showthread.php?t=383158 and Avid Knowledge Base - Only get the initial attack of each note with Mini Grand or Structure Free in Pro Tools on macOS Sierra https://avid.secure.force.com/pkb/ar...ting/PT-223601 Have you tried: Structure 2.0.10 Update (Mac Only) https://support.pluginboutique.com/h...-Download-Area (I’m on Windows and have no idea whether the above is VST only) Anyway… Plugin Boutique also says (for AIR Structure 2) that “10.15 Catalina not yet supported” https://www.pluginboutique.com/produ...SAAEgIAU_D_BwE Total long-shot: You could download the Trial from the above link and try using the VST version, hosted in Blue Cat’s PatchWork Seems Blue Cat’s PatchWork works in 10.15 Catalina, if you follow these steps: https://www.bluecataudio.com/Blog/ti...urvival-guide/ Download the Trial for Blue Cat’s PatchWork to test: https://www.pluginboutique.com/produ...SAAEgKxy_D_BwE Good luck!

Re: Structure Virtual Instrument - only playing beginning of samples
Thanks for your help, unkJE.
I actually rolled by my operating system to macOS Mojave, and the problem was resolved for a number of days. I'm not sure what happened (certainly no OS updates), but the problem recently reappeared. My next step is to try the PatchWork option. (My current workaround has been to load up the session on a Windows machine, rended the virtual instrument track to audio, and then move it back to the Mac.) Thanks again! |

Re: Structure Virtual Instrument - only playing beginning of samples
This problem is currently happening for me.
ProTools ultimate. structure v2.0.5. MAC OS 10.13.6 High Sierra. Any help out there? Oddly, it works correctly for the preloaded sine wave in Structure. But not when patches are loaded. |

Re: Structure Virtual Instrument - only playing beginning of samples
Thanks everyone for your help.
The update to version 2.0.10 resolved the sample playback issue. Now a new problem: Most patches and samples load correctly, but some have missing sample files that I can't relink. The status says there are a number of missing audio samples. Even though I have navigated to the correct .big file, the associated samples still aren't found. Any suggestions? Thanks! |

Place your “Structure Encrypted Samples” folder inside your “Structure Factory Libraries” folder - Samples drive:\Sound Libraries\AIR Music Technology\AIR Content\Structure\Structure Factory Libraries\Structure Encrypted Samples Structure Free (which comes bundled with Pro Tools) must be uninstalled before installing the Full version of Structure Quote:
https://www.pro-tools-expert.com/hom...explained.html "Previous users of Structure may have seen red exclamation marks which indicates missing samples, it will then often prompt you to find those missing samples. You may not have seen yellow exclamation marks until this version. However, yellow exclamation marks are less to worry about as long as you are not sending your projects elsewhere. A yellow mark simply means that the samples do not reside on your local or system drive. So if you use an external drive or have more than one drive inside your computer where your sample library lives, then you are going to see those yellow indicators when you load patches."

Re: Structure Virtual Instrument - only playing beginning of samples
Are you telling me structure finally works again? I've spent many many hours in the past trying to make it work. Worked great for the first few years (around 09 or so) and then became a Stephen King nighmare of the highest order. Libraries lost in space. But it had some great sounds and, well, really pissed me off. So it's currently really working with 2020 Pro Tools Ultimate HD?
