Clap your hands say clap!
And the holiday gifts keep coming. Next up: an all-clapping plug-in.
Yes, Clap Machine does just what it says: it makes claps. Think four octaves of them, even, all very natural-sounding. Now, at first this is the sound of one hand clapping – okay, two hands clapping. You’ll probably want to use multiple notes to get more. (It’s actually a shame there isn’t a control for that, but … well, you’ll figure it out. I might actually whip up a quick Max for Live device to use single inputs from a step sequencer but generate more claps – anyone messed about with ideas with that?)
32-bit. 64-bit.
Mac. Windows.
VST. AU.
Natural reverb, with control.
Global volume.
And it sounds really nice. 99sounds have loads of these sorts of giveaways, the output of the Bedroom Producers Blog. For instance:
Free sound effects / sound libraries
Some distinctive vintage bass sounds
99 drum samples (really lovely collection of hits)
and Project Pegasus, a bunch of dreamy synth stuff.
The clap instrument is based on a sound library full of claps and snaps..
