Unlike our other percussion module, Chimera, which uses impulse rich samples as it’s tonal center, Fracture uses single impulse samples like claps, snaps, ping pong balls, opening a beer can, and many more. It then plays a group of similar samples back in a psuedo random order for unique hits.

Density, Decay, and Tail affect tone and how “tight” your virtual clappers are to playing together. Our goal was to design a clap percussion module covering the range from classic drum machine claps all the way to full audience applause.
