This plug-in offers an authentic recreation of the classic Simmons Digital ClapTrap from the 1980s, delivering ensemble hand claps that never sound the same twice. By combining digital variable sample rate technology with analog pitched noise filtering, it generates rich and dynamic claps full of character. The digital side uses vintage-inspired techniques to produce additional harmonic content, while the analog part emulates classic noise sources for a warm, textured sound. The plug-in's true stereo mode runs two independent ClapTrap units with adjustable offsets, creating a spacious and immersive clap experience.

Version 2.0 introduces full analog circuit emulation alongside the digital model, allowing users to explore various clap generation methods. This includes oscillator modulations, modulated comparators, and envelope shaping, giving deep control over tonal qualities and the 'human factor' in the ensemble. Users can blend analog and digital circuits, tweak pulse shapes, adjust humanizer effects, and experiment with circuit bending features to customize their sound. Additional enhancements include multi-output routing, single or dual operation modes, and an improved graphical interface with crisp, high-DPI visuals.

The plug-in also supports modern workflows with native support for Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, VST3 and AU formats, and improved MIDI functionality including MIDI 2.0 compatibility. Features like a preset browser, settings page, and flexible trigger options enhance usability, while optimizations reduce CPU load and improve responsiveness. From subtle clap ensembles to bold, saturated textures, this tool offers comprehensive control for producers seeking an iconic clap sound with advanced modern capabilities.
