AP Finger Snaps Overview

AP Finger Snaps is a Kontakt based sample library with a good variety of 10 finger snaps, consisting of varying quantities of snaps per key. Feel free to combine or mix and match as you see fit. Each key has a total of 8 layered finger snap samples that are setup for Round-Robin sample switching. Every time you press a key, the next finger snap sample is triggered, and so on back to the first finger snap sample, and then the process repeats. This is beneficial in that you'll get a natural finger snap track that sounds human by cycling through the 8 samples. Round-Robin avoids the "machine gun" sound of repeatedly playing the same sample over and over, even with a quick repetition.

Why a finger snap library? After composing a fair amount of music library tracks and recording finger snaps, shakers or tambourines on most, we decided to create a "tool kit" of basic percussion instruments that provide the naturalness and human feel we'd get as if we had recorded the real parts. This way, we can keep the parts as MIDI to allow for easier editing and tempo changes as needed.

We hope you'll find our AP Finger Snaps sample library useful in your music creation endeavors.
