Ukulele sounds

Post by Andy Barlo »

How do I get the ukulele to play background? I clicked on ukulele from the instrument list but when I played the song I could not hear the uku. Any help would be appreciated.

I did some Hawaiian tracks with BIAB.
I have the latest version but still not very satisfied with their ukulele patch.

Andy, I am probably wrong about this but,,,
after you select Ukulele from the instrument list,,
before you re-play the song,,save the song with instrument patches,,, then try it & it goes without saying, make sure the volume for the Ukulele is turned up.

To save a song with a different instrument patch you have to change the patch number in the little box but you can't input the ukulele patch 25/1. You get an error message. There's several styles in the jazz category that use a "uke" sound though, you might try one of those.
