Clap of Luxury: Crafting Perfect Synthetic Claps
The clap is a vital component of the rhythmic foundation in many musical genres, from disco to modern EDM. It adds groove and energy. But for a unique, perfectly tuned sound, control is needed. The Clap of Luxury plugin by Xoxos is designed specifically for this – to generate any conceivable synthetic clap sound.
Why is Synthetic Clap Better?
Samples are limiting; synthesis gives full control over the sound: the “body,” “tail,” timbre, and dynamics. Clap of Luxury provides the tool to create any synthetic clap sound from scratch.
Clap of Luxury’s Sound Architecture
At its core is a well-thought-out synthesis algorithm. The plugin uses a special noise algorithm that can synchronize with the project’s tempo.
Core: Synchronized Noise and Amplification
Generating synchronized noise with variable characteristics. Then – precise amplification. Control over the amplitude envelope allows shaping the attack, decay, sustain, creating diverse hits – from short to long.
Timbre Sculpting: Three Filters
The sound passes through three independent filters. This is where the main timbre shaping occurs:
- Removing/emphasizing frequencies.
- Creating resonance for the “body” and “character.”
- Simulating acoustics or creating futuristic textures.
The combination of filters offers limitless possibilities – from classic 80s drum machine claps to modern dense sounds.
Unlimited Applications
Clap of Luxury is perfect for any genre with percussion:
-
EDM: Powerful, punchy claps for house, techno, etc.

Easily layer synthetic claps with other sounds for originality.
