Great sounding ukulele samples
A very unique instrument
Sleek GUI
Extremely inspiring
Huge range of playing styles
Inconsistent volumes
A bit of a learning curve to make the instrument flow

Last year, Audio Ollie put themselves on the map with LA Modern Percussion. It was a huge and bombastic but most importantly, a great sounding library. Will their follow up range of cinematic rhythmic instruments have us diving into our pockets and gain a place in our workflow? Let’s find out!

Review: RCD Series – Uke by Audio Ollie
RCD stands for Rhythmic Cinema Device which gives us a clue of what this instrument is about. From the name you’d be forgiven in thinking it’s a well sampled ukulele. It is in fact an instrument designed to give your compositions movement, texture and other such kinetic motion. The simplest form is via riff based performance loops that can be both tonal or atonal. There is an option to make your own which is where the fun starts as there are many different ways the ukulele has been sampled. From hard and soft strums to plucks and brushes, Audio Ollie have managed to get every nuance out of the ukulele. So how does it sound? How does it work? Check out the video review to find out!
