Ample Ethno Ukulele 3.2.0 for Mac is the current 3.2.0 build of Ample Sound's Ethno U instrument, a virtual ukulele sampled from a Kamaka HF-3, the handmade Hawaiian tenor ukulele built from koa wood. Its bright, gentle voice is a staple of folk, island and acoustic pop arrangements, and it doubles as an easy way to add light rhythmic texture to almost any production.

Two tunings are included, High G and Low G, so you can pick the classic reentrant sparkle or a fuller low-string sound for fingerpicked parts. Strumming is handled by a dedicated Strummer engine alongside the Riffer, which makes chord patterns feel played rather than typed. The instrument is a paid Ample Sound licence — existing owners receive updates through their account — and a trial is available from the official product page.

Key Features

• Kamaka HF-3 tenor ukulele sampled in 24-bit quality, 2.15 GB across both libraries
• High G and Low G instrument libraries for traditional and fingerstyle playing
• Nine articulations including sustain, palm mute, natural harmonic, hammer-on and pull-off, slides, pop and a dedicated strum articulation
• Strummer with chord detection and custom chords, plus Riffer for detailed MIDI parts
• AU, VST, VST3, AAX and standalone formats for macOS 10.15 and later, including Apple Silicon

How to Download

1. Download from the official site
2. New users can run the trial first or buy the licence; owners sign in to their Ample Sound account to download the 3.2.0 update.
3. Install the library, activate online, and open the plugin in your DAW or the standalone app to start strumming.

Is the 3.2.0 release a separate product from Ample Ethno Ukulele?
No. It is the current update build of the same instrument. One licence covers it, and updates are delivered through your Ample Sound account rather than as a new purchase.

Can it strum chords realistically?
Yes. The Strummer engine and strum articulation are designed for exactly that, with control over rhythm, speed and chord voicings, while fingerpicked lines can be programmed note by note in the Riffer.
