Strumming, Fingered Playing and Chord Recognition

The strummed side of the library includes major and minor strums in both upstroke and downstroke directions, along with noise articulations to add percussive texture between chords. Wavesfactory states that the instrument recognizes additional chord types, including add9, major 7 and minor 7 voicings.

The Ukulele Finger addition gives you a second playing style in the same package. Use it for melodies or arpeggiated accompaniment when strumming isn't the right fit for the part.

Sampling, Round Robin and Dynamic Control

The library was recorded in stereo in a dry studio environment, with five velocity layers and three round-robin repetitions. The settings page lets you choose how many round robins to keep loaded, and unused ones are purged from memory to reduce RAM use.

Dynamic range and velocity curve controls shape how loud and soft notes relate to incoming MIDI, and a Doubler option plays two different round robins per channel for a wider sound.
