I'm never using samples again.
I have historically mostly used samples for claps but CLAPS II is more flexible and much more dynamic and can have just as biting of a transient.
So much range.

CLÄPPS till end of times
I LOVE Beardyman and everything he does. No exception here!
CLÄPP just works and it works well! And on top of that it is very fun and easy to use. Tons of variations of claps and they all sound great and are very useable. Highly recommend!
Sounds great
Fun and easy to use
CLÄPPSSSSSSSS till end of time
I fear my future songs will be made out of claps entirely.

It's the good kinda clap...
This is mega easy to use and gives lots of great sounding options of claps. It's pretty Ronseal. You want the clap? It's got it in abundance (no jollop required)
Easy to use and sounds great
Is it possible to have clap option paralysis?

Clapp II by Termite Audio
Finding the right clap is more frustrating than it should be. Static samples don’t breathe, don’t respond to your performance, and rarely sit perfectly in a mix without significant processing. CLÄPP II solves this at the source — a MaxforLive instrument that generates clap sounds from scratch, putting full control over every dimension of the sound directly in your hands.
Built by Beardyman (Darren Foreman), CLÄPP II combines two distinct synthesis engines — a modelled human clap generator and a classic drum machine clap engine — into a single, performance-ready device. Whether you want the organic spread of a real crowd or the punchy snap of a Roland-style machine, CLÄPP II gets you there without touching a sample library.
Features & Highlights
Two Synthesis Engines
CLÄPP II runs two distinct clap engines side by side. The Human Clap engine models the acoustic character of real hands clapping — full of natural spread, tone, and imperfection. The Clap Synth engine channels the iconic snap of classic drum machines for tight, punchy electronic hits. Use one or blend both for a sound that sits exactly where you need it.
Tone, Timing, and Variation Controls
Shape every dimension of the clap. Tone carves the character from crisp and cutting to warm and rounded. Timing shifts between the loose feel of a live performance and the locked precision of a programmed machine. Variation spreads tonal spread across multiple clappers on the Human engine, or morphs the synth character on the Clap Synth engine — subtle tweaks that make a big difference in how human or mechanical your clap sounds.
Number of Clappers
Scale your clap from a single sharp hit to the sound of a full crowd. Increasing the clappers count adds layers, width, and natural acoustic complexity — ideal for building claps that feel like a room, not a machine.
Stereo Spread and Low Pass Filter
Stereo Spread controls how wide the clap sits in the sound field, from mono punch to immersive width. The Low Pass filter shaves off top-end brightness when the track calls for something warmer or more recessed in the mix — small moves, significant results.
Velocity-Sensitive Performance
CLÄPP II is designed for performance, not just programming. It responds to MIDI velocity, delivering a quieter, more subdued hit at low velocities and the full weight of the clap at 127. Dynamics are built into the instrument — not applied after the fact.
What’s Included
- CLÄPP II — the core MaxforLive clap instrument (.amxd), loaded on a MIDI track
- 360 clap samples — generated using CLÄPP II, royalty-free and ready for your own productions
- CLÄPP RAKK — a specialised Simpler rack housing 128 curated clap samples with a randomise function for fast inspiration (requires Ableton Live 11 Intro or higher)
- CLÄPP FX — a dedicated Ableton FX rack optimised for clap sounds and processing (requires Ableton Live 11 Standard)
- BÜSS — a specialised channel strip built to squeeze maximum punch from the full CLÄPP device stack
How to Use
Load CLÄPP II on a MIDI track in Ableton Live. All MIDI notes trigger the same clap sound — pitch does not affect the output, so your note placement is purely about timing and velocity. Play in your clap patterns, adjust the engines and controls in real time, and use CLÄPP RAKK and CLÄPP FX alongside for a complete, processed clap signal chain ready to sit in the mix.
Presets are fully supported via Ableton’s built-in device preset system — save your best sounds directly from the device title bar.
Ideal For
- Producers who want complete control over their clap sound without digging through sample libraries
- Performers who need a clap instrument that responds naturally to playing dynamics
- Beatmakers building custom drum racks who want a standout, fully controllable clap element
- Sound designers exploring percussion synthesis from the ground up
Requirements
- Ableton Live 11 or 12 Suite, or Live 11/12 Standard + MaxforLive
- MaxforLive (included with Suite, available as an add-on for Standard)
- macOS or Windows

Our Products are generally provided as Zip file downloads which in all cases will need to be extracted and saved to your hard drive prior to installation. Details on the different file type provided and what to do with them are below.
.alp Files – These are Ableton Live Packs and will either install directly into the Packs Section of the browser of Ableton Live or ask you to save them to your hard drive. For packs that install to the library, when you double click on them you will see a pop up window asking you to confirm that installation is ok as the files are described as “Legacy”. This is fine and you are ok to proceed, the packs are created using the format for an earlier version of Live and so remain compatible with the current version.
.amxd files – These are individual MaxforLive Devices and can be stored anywhere on your hard drive. We’d advise creating a folder for them and then adding that folder as a location within the Places section of Lives Browser.
