Are Melodyne Essential and Structure Free included with Pro Tools 9?

I just noticed they're missing from the included plugins page. I had previously heard that all of the plugins from PT 8 were included in 9. Thanks!

I think they are included if you buy the full boxed set. When you buy the crossgrade, they assume that you already have those plugins.

Structure Free is definitely included as part of the Pro Tools Creative Collection that comes with all versions of Pro Tools 9. From Chapter 22 of the Audio Plug-ins Guide v9.0:

Pro Tools Creative Collection™ is a set of RTAS instrument and effects plug-ins included with Pro Tools.

This section describes the following Pro Tools Creative Collection plug-ins:

Instruments
• Boom drum computer with pattern sequencer
• DB-33 tonewheel organ simulator
• Mini Grand acoustic grand piano
• Structure Free sample player
• Vacuum tube emulation synthesizer
• Xpand2 multitimbral workstation

It looks like Structure Free is missing from the Pro Tools 9 prouduct Effects & Instruments page. I'll let the web team know.

Celemony Melodyne Essential was part of the Pro Tools 8 Third Party Content, and is not included with Pro Tools 9.

All versions of Pro Tools 9, whether crossgrade from LE, upgrade from M-Powered or HD, download, or boxed versions include the same set of plug-ins, instruments and effects. The installers for all versions are identical.
