Analog synth clap one shot, filtered noise bursts

About this sample

Seven white-noise bursts, spaced unevenly from 0 to 83 ms, fuse into a single handclap-like hit. Each burst is 105 ms long, shaped by a fast 1.5 ms attack and decay envelope, then band-passed from 650 to 5,200 Hz. A resonant band filter sweeps around a 2,100 Hz center, modulated at 3.2 Hz by 900 Hz; a 320 Hz high-pass and restrained saturation add midrange focus and density. The 0.52-second stereo hit has a short, gated room reverb, with the tail fading out after 310 ms.

Use it for electronic, house, disco, or pop backbeats at tempos that suit your groove; its closely clustered transients read as one clap rather than a rapid roll. Layer it with a kick or snare for extra attack, or EQ the upper mids if it competes with vocals and bright percussion.
