How do I use it?
Load The Clap on an instrument track. Choose a clap voice and play a MIDI note or use the audition button. Enable Add Snare, then set its blend, tuning and decay. New settings apply to the next hit.
Does it need a sample library?
No. Claps and the optional snare are synthesized. The 808/909 names describe inspired voicings, not exact hardware emulations.
Can I automate it?
The clap voice and sound controls support automation and project recall. Each note captures its settings when triggered.

Every paid plugin in one bundle. LS Link is included free. Individual plugins are $40 each. Perpetual licenses; no subscription.
Bundle checkout opens after final release and delivery checks.
How do the plugins communicate?
Enter an Instrument / track name below the controls. Low Standards plugin instances in the same DAW process share spectra and waveform analysis. Add the free LS Link companion to any other mixer track you want to see.
How do I compare instruments?
Use the same Session name on both tracks. In Rotation choose a Compare track to see its spectrum and overlap. In Pull Out choose a Kick waveform preview, then route the kick to the DAW sidechain separately if you want it to trigger ducking. Names and selections save with the project.
Does this require internet or change my audio?
Track analysis stays on your computer and needs no network connection. LS Link passes the original samples unchanged with zero added latency. Separately bridged plugin processes cannot discover each other. Match session names to separate projects.
