Handclaps have been a rhythmic staple throughout music history, and CL4P Maker from 2getheraudio brings this timeless element into the digital age with a dedicated virtual instrument focused on crafting high-quality electronic handclap sounds. Inspired by the iconic tones popularized by classic drum machines, this plugin provides producers with a broad palette of claps suitable for genres like hip hop, pop, R&B, and electronic dance music. It offers both traditional handclap sounds and the ability to create custom variations, allowing users to explore a wide sonic range.

CL4P Maker goes beyond basic samples by providing expert controls that enable detailed sound shaping, from tight, punchy claps to spacious, ambient textures. Users can simulate everything from single claps to crowd-style handclaps, adjusting characteristics such as size and presence to fit their production needs. The instrument includes 100 preset handclap options and a streamlined audition feature to quickly find the perfect sound. For ease of use, a Simple View mode offers essential controls and effects for fast sound design without overwhelming complexity.

Built on a custom audio engine, CL4P Maker utilizes specialized noise oscillators and envelope shaping to generate authentic clap sounds, enhanced by filters, drive, compression, and effects like bit crushing and reverb for further tonal refinement. Compatible with 64-bit VST, AU, and AAX formats on both Mac and Windows, it integrates seamlessly into most digital audio workstations. Offered through a Pay-What-You-Want pricing model with a minimum purchase, this plugin makes professional-quality handclap sounds accessible to a wide range of musicians and producers.
