For Sale – the exceptionally  Rare Digital Claptrap from Simmons   
As used and explained in this F9 Audio video ( using the actual unit for sale here ) .. 
https://youtu.be/JMlbaStLeYc
In short this unit uses an EPROM based ( very clever looping ) clap sample and an analog noise generator to make ( randomise-able) claps that you can trigger via an audio output or from hitting the TRS-80 style Trigger button on the top 
This kind of unit was all over 80s funk recordings and I believe used to great effect on Uptown Funk. It just makes FAT, heavy claps and is now very rare indeed in full working order ( they weren’t the best build quality in the world ) 
This unit has been in use for the last few years at F9 Audio ( www.f9-audio.com ) and has been used in my professional work as the studio half of UK remix and production team the Freemasons. 
Physical condition :
Generally good . Although 3 pot caps are missing ( please see pictures ) 
Postage : 
Free UK delivery Tracked via Royal mail and Will be very well packed 
Fixed feee for EU delivery of 25
Good luck and happy bidding .. if you have a feedback score under 5 and I’m uncomfortable with the bid – I reserve the right to remove it 
This is a vintage synth and is ‘Sold as Seen’. Owning something 30 years old like this is the synth equivalent of owning a classic car – it will need love and attention over the years to keep it up to the current spec and if you purchase this I assume you are fully aware of this.
