Simmons Clap Trap Vintage Analog Drum Synth

via this auction
"The Simmons Clap Trap is a digital 8-bit EPROM-based (hand clap sample) with an analog noise and modulation sections used for generating synthesized clap sounds.

The Clap Trap can be triggered a number of ways using it’s external ¼ inch trigger inputs or manually via buttons on the top of the unit. There is also an Automatic repeat trigger mode that triggers the Clap Trap synth with a user selectable retriggering rate. The “Auto” mode is extremely useful when designing a synthesized clap sound with the front panel controls.

Another unique feature on the Clap Trap is a Humanizer button that adds subtle variations to the clap sample speed and duration giving the clap synth a more human feel when triggered.
