Smart Knobs The Smart Knobs are special con-
trols which can be assigned to one or more
Structure Free parameters in the currently se-
lected patch. These parameters can then be re-
mote controlled at the same time by moving the
Smart Knob. This comes in handy for easily de-
signing complex sounds or quickly adjusting a
patch to suit your session in terms of feel, tim-
bre, enveloping, or any other sensible sound
shaping parameter. In Structure Free’s factory
content, each patch has Smart Knobs pre-as-
signed to important parameters. The Smart
Knob can be named in the field above each knob.
To display a control’s current value:
 Click the control without moving the mouse.
Key Switches Key Switches are special MIDI
notes or keys that are assigned to controls and
act as a switch. For example, they can switch be-
tween different Smart Knob settings for a patch.
Master (Output Volume) The Master control ad-
justs the volume of all Structure Free outputs to
Pro Tools. All patches are mixed down to the
Main output by default, and then output to the
Instrument, Auxiliary Input, or Audio track on
which Structure Free is inserted.
Info Display The Info display above the Key-
board section is a context-sensitive text display.
When you load something into Structure Free, it
displays a progress bar. When loading a com-
mented patch, it displays the Patch comment.
When editing controls, it displays parameter
name and value.

of incoming automation, as multiple pa-
