“Fully Functional. Tested trigger inputs with Roland tr606 and everything sounded as it should. Cannot confirm or deny but rumored to have been used by Prince. I left the pencil markings on front of face plate due to this (may be from him) although they could easily be rubbed off. Check the picture of the label from studio it was used by, allegedly rented to Prince for sessions. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“Rare Vintage Simmons Clap Trap! FREE SHIPPING! The classic Simmons Clap Trap is a digital 8-bit EPROM-based (hand clap sample) with an analog noise and modulation sections used for generating synthesized clap sounds. The Clap Trap can be triggered a number of ways using it’s external ¼ inch trigger inputs or manually via buttons on the top of the unit. There is also an Automatic repeat trigger mode that triggers the Clap Trap synth with a user selectable retriggering rate. The “Auto” mode is extremely useful when designing a synthesized clap sound with the front panel controls. Another unique feature on the Clap Trap is a Humanizer button that adds subtle variations to the clap sample speed and duration giving the clap synth a more human feel when triggered.

This unit has been tested and works and sounds great! I’m the original owner and purchased it directly from one of the first Simmons sales reps, Reek Havoc, way back in the 1980’s when it first came out. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

“This is the first iteration of the Simmons Clap Trap after Dave Simmons left MusicAid to form Simmons Drums. These were produced from 1981 to 1984 when the company replaced this model with the digital version.

It’s fully working, and has been gone through. Sometimes when you turn off the Auto Trigger by hitting the Manual Trigger button the unit won’t flip back to Auto Trigger. But, you can just power off and back on and it will start in Auto Trigger mode.

Cosmetically, it’s in very good shape for its age with only a few light scuffs (see photos). Also, the Master Volume slider top is broken off, but it functions perfectly. ”
