Ukuleles have found mass adoption in modern pop music of late. They are relatively easy string instruments to play and even master if you are a somewhat experienced guitarist or have a fair bit of music theory know-how. After all, the ukulele is a member of the guitar family and boasts four strings that are much easier on the fingers to press and hold down. However, despite an uptick in their adoption, a decent Ukulele VST or Virtual Ukulele is hard to come by.
Fret not, we have done the graft and compiled this hard to find list of some great sounding Ukulele VSTs that are both free and paid.
A Virtual Ukulele emulates the sound made by a real ukulele in numerous ways either through presets or samples. Deriving a great sound out of a Ukulele VST becomes easy thanks to these additions on our list below. So without further ado let’s get started.
