Tiki Records Hawaii, a company specializing in native Hawaiian music and samples, has released Concert Ukulele Strummer for EXS24. A sample library for Apple's EXS24 that recreates the unmistaken sounds of a strumming ukulele. It has a classic sound that is instantly recognizable and immediately brings to mind the Hawaiian Islands. The EXS version follows on the heals of the Concert Ukulele Strummer for Kontakt release last week.

Concert Ukulele Strummer features a very easy to play keyboard layout. Every chord was sampled with multiple up and down strokes, palm mutes, and full mutes. 12 chord types were recorded in each of the 12 keys. All samples were recorded at 48k / 24bit for the best quality.

Concert Ukulele Strummer for EXS24 is available now for $49.
