Realistic Finger Snap Generator

Le Snappet, like its brothers El Clapo and Das Boot, enables you to create ultra-realistic finger snaps, from a single snap to a smoke-filled club full of beat poet aficionados showing their appreciation, now that snapping is the new clapping (you can’t hold a beer and clap at the same time).

Snap lets you control how intoxicated your crowd is via the Slop control, and also provides essential mix features, including front-to-back placement via mic blend and positioning controls for front, mid, and room mics.

Plus, you don’t have to load up on processing plugins thanks to built-in compressors, EQ, and width control. Snap also features  MIDI velocity control and a step sequencer with 12 editable patterns.

Le Snappet is designed to make it simple to create snap tracks of any size. From a single snap to an entire crowd, you determine how the snaps sound.

You determine the group size. You determine how sloppy they are. You control the microphone mix. We sampled multiple snappers at multiple layers and a bunch of round robins, from 3 different mic perspectives. The result is natural-sounding snaps no matter how large the group.

Control with MIDI or the built-in step sequencer that lets you automate between 12 user-created patterns.

MAIN FEATURES

• Easily generate ultra-realistic finger snaps, from an intimate single snap to a crowd of new bohemians.
• Great for music and film post-production.
• Three adjustable mic positions; close/mid and room.
• Close and Room mic controls each feature a fully adjustable compressor with mix knob, 4-band EQ, and width control.
• “Slop” control lets you adjust how tight or loose the snaps are.
• Simple, straightforward interface with access to advanced controls including velocity-sensing MIDI curve control, panning, timing, layer, and CPU-saving round-robin settings.
• Built-in step sequencer for easily creating complex (or simple) patterns.

T-Bone uses custom filters that do not have any of the wonky side effects to your high end that most digital filters have.

No matter what sample rate you are using, T-Bone will give you a smooth natural curve right up to Nyquist frequency.

T-Bone is a slant EQ at heart, with a few extra features that just make it that much more useful.

MAIN FEATURES

• Slant EQ simultaneously boosts and attenuates for quick tone shaping without gain increase
• High- and low-pass filters with resonance control
• Boom and Harsh controls tame unwanted side effects
• Wet/dry mix control
• Clean filters up to Nyquist limit
• Low CPU usage

What is a Slant EQ?
A slant EQ is a filter that simultaneously boosts one end of the frequency spectrum while attenuating the other end. As it turns out this is an amazingly useful tool for brightening or darkening your tracks very quickly.

Another reason this is super handy is that it allows you to change the tone of your track without changing the overall level. With traditional EQ plugins, as you boost certain frequencies, the overall sound gets louder.

The problem with this is that our brains have the screwy little feature where louder music tends to sound better (even if it actually sounds worse. Make sense?). A slant EQ works around that special feature in our brain so that you aren’t deceived by the changing level and you can know instantly if your are improving or worsening your sound.

Extra Features
While a slant EQ is a very handy filter to have, we have added a few features that make it even easier to dial in the sound you need.

We included a high pass filter with resonance control (think Bark of Dog) and low pass filter with resonance (henceforth to be known as Meow of Cat).

We also came up with this super hand feature called Boom and Harsh Control. Sometimes adding extreme amounts of slant EQ can have some nasty side effects. If slanted too far to the left, you can end up with a lot of low end build up. Slant too far to the right and you can get too much harsh high end. The Boom and Harsh Control lets you add massive amounts of slant without getting  harsh or boomy.

It’s really an essential part of what makes this plugin so easy to use. We also added mid/side mode and an analog mode that adds subtle distortion and compression to your sound. Enable that for some grit, or disable for super clean tone shaping.

Clean filters Without the CPU Hit
During the development of this plugin, we created some incredibly smooth filters that don’t have any of the crazy side effects on your high frequencies (technically known as wonk).

Our wonkless filters not only give you a smooth frequency response all the way up to Nyquist frequency, but they do this without adding that CPU hit that oversampled filters take.
