BOSS HAND CLAPPER HC-2

via this auction
"Made in Japan (1983)

Produces a hand clap sound that is adjustable with sens, dry and hall controls.
Produces sounds simular to legendary TR-808 & TR-909 Drum machines!

The BOSS Handclapper is not an effect pedal, per se. Its purpose is to produce handclap sounds. It does so when you hit that blue rubber pad with a stick, or with your hand, whichever is handier.

The circuit inside is IDENTICAL (save for the addition of a couple of external pots to adjust some sound parameters that are permanently set in the 808) to the handclap circuit in the legendary Roland TR-808 drum machine!

External input jack for triggering from other drum machines with trigger out.

The unit can runs off a normal Battery (9v) or with a mains adapter."



Boss Handclapper HC-2 MIDI mod

YouTube via accenter | March 05, 2007

"Dieser Handclapper wurde in seinen Regelbereichen erweitert. Zusätzlich wurde auch ein MIDI IN sowie eine blaue Power LED eingebaut. Der Handclapper ist auch über das Berührungsempfindliche Feld spielbar. Schaltungstechnisch wurde er an den TR-909 Clap angelehnt und klingt auch genau so. Durch die Regler ist hier im Gegensatz zum original TR-909 Clap ein größerer Tonumfang möglich. Mittels "Dry" Regler kann der Clap getuned werden (Tonhöhe). Der "Hall" Regler ermöglicht ein variables Ausklingen. Der "Sens" Regler bestimmt die Anschlagsempfindlichkeit des berührungsempfindlichen Feldes."
