Uke Swarm
Thrift shop plastic toy uke, processed until it sounds decent

The story
I found this beat-up plastic toy ukulele in a thrift shop for just a few euros. It has a lot of problems, mainly the nut and bridge are too high, but also the soundboard bends under the tension of the strings. I decided to challenge myself to pass some time and try to make this rejected toy sound decent. I’m really pleased with how the pads turned out.

Amazing
Great job, Gambero! Your vision created sophistication from a very simple instrument. I really like the swarms and the pads. This an especially usable instrument for cinematics, soundscapes and the background for anything.
