    Hear it

    A drum loop, then the same loop with The Clap on the beat-3 snare. Level-matched.

    The Clap plugin interface

    Synthesized from real hands, no samples, with the human feel you can't fake by nudging notes.

    Drum loop

    Same take

    The Clap layered on the loop's snare: twelve hands in a studio room, played over MIDI.

    Hands

    No samples. Real hands modelled from scratch: the skin smack, the cupped-palm body and a touch of high snap.

    Crowd
