hand clap
Clap Machine is based on a collection of natural hand clap samples.
The purpose of Clap Machine is to provide a quick and easy way to add natural sounding claps to your music. The plugin can be used to easily create rhythmic sequences, as well as natural sounding group claps (aka "gang" claps) by playing multiple notes at the same time. Clap Machine features four full octaves of clap sounds which have been recorded in different locations, with variable amounts of natural reverb.

CRAZY LIQUOR & CHEESEBURGER PARTY
Crazy Liquor and Cheeseburger Party has two oscillators with 5 waveforms each. ADSR Envelope for each oscillator. One main filter with the usual types of filters to choose from. VU Meter for the left and right signals, I can't promise it won't go above 0 dB and destroy your ears and speakers but at least I've taken certain precautions to avoid it. Reverb and a non-synchronized delay are the only effects, kind of. It depends, are you feelin' frisky? Because if you are, there's a special kind of drunken, passed out, effect for you. ONLY IF YOU'RE FEELIN' FRISKY!

PSYMON
Psymon is a series of single-waveform, retro, lo-fi noise makers. Whilst faithfully recreating the ‘speaker in a box’ sound of the original game, Psymon takes a bold leap into the 21st century. You are no longer limited to the 4 notes of the game, but can use every single note on your midi keyboard. With a simple press of the keyboard icon you can bring modern technology to bear and have each note sustain whilst your midi key is pressed. Not only that, but the notes become velocity sensitive too. The very best of retro sound and cutting-edge technology, Psymon says “download me”.
