"Here is a very sought after vintage musical device: The Simmons Clap Trap with Humanizer function. It is the last of the analog versions of the Clap Traps before they went digital. It is an analog handclap synthesizer with controls that allows you to shape the handclap sound from a thin click to an almost drum slamming sound, and play them back on the unit. It also provides different trigger inputs in the back and the ability to alter the sensitivity of the trigger signal. This unit was used on such 80s hits as Gary Newman's CARS and Kim Carnes' BETTY DAVIS EYES."
