Clap Trap Fap
This one via Loscha, via this auction.
"Music Aid (Simmons) Claptrap
Super rare and highly collectable. 100% analogue circuitry!
This was made sometime in the 1970s by the company that was to become Simmons (famous for their digital percussion instruments).
I have never actually seen another one of these, and certainly not on ebay. I think Mouse on Mars have one.
Can be triggered from just about anything (see rear panel). I was triggering it from a TR-808 and MPC 3000 no problems.
Please note: it does not do 'realistic' handclaps. It is an analogue machine, so if freaky analogue percussive noises are your bag then this is the box for you. It is capable of all maner of classic Rolandesque snares, crashes etc aswell."
Title of post also curteousy of Loscha. Thanks Loscha!
