Clap Machine

Clap Machine by 99Sounds is a sample-based clap instrument for adding human character to drum patterns. Built from recordings in the Hands Make Sounds library, it offers four octaves of natural hand claps captured in different spaces, with varying amounts of room ambience. Play individual notes to build rhythmic parts, or trigger several together for a fuller gang-clap sound. A global attack-and-release volume envelope lets you soften the initial hit and shorten the decay, helping the claps sit alongside your other percussion. For a drier result, reduce the release time, then shape the space with the built-in reverb or your preferred reverb effect. Available in VST and AU formats for Windows and macOS, Clap Machine suits producers who want straightforward, organic clap sounds for beats, layered backbeats, and group-style accents.
