Clap Trak comes up with three different banks of hand claps:

2. In the second bank there are 9 different "classical" drum machine claps which they collected over the last 20 years. You will find samples of the TR-909, TR-808, Clap Trap, Linn Drum and others.
3. The third bank consist of several unsorted claps that built up over a number of years. It covers a range from single human claps to synthetic processed ones.

Clap Trak provides plenty of further options to change the sound to your very own requirements: slider to control the amount of reverb and delay as well as the pitch level. Switches to activate wah-like EQ modifier, Lo-Fi and distortion fx as well as switches to select different types of reverb, tempo, shuffle mode and finally the "Continuous Random Pattern" which works as a self generating pattern and fills every 16th note with a different velocity layer and length.

Clap Trak runs in standalone mode as well as in-sync to your host application.
