How to make hand clapping sound
Hi, Im a beginner of MaxMsp.
I'm trying to make a drum part of a song called "15 step (Radiohead)" and wondering about how to make hand clapping sound. I was trying to look it up on the internet but I coudn't find it anyway. So I'll appreciate if someone tell me how to make the sound.
I'm not a native English speaker.Sorry for my bad English.
Hi
you're English is ok!
This is very simple to do in Max, you just need a noise source, an amplitude envelope and a filter:
Then all you need to do is add some reverb (yafr or yafr2) and perhaps a multiple delay line to create a ensemble effect

I find a few squigles in the old amplitude envelope can produce some interesting sounds, and [click~] is pretty useful here too
Five years too late here probably, but we have a tutorial on this (and other percussion sounds) if that's useful:

big smile from hearing the VO at around 6:40 😆😂
thanks for doing these!
Fun challenge. My best 30 minute try. This is based off my experience of attempting to do handclaps in a vocal booth. When I tried it, I said "Wow, that literally sounds like an electronic click. It doesn't sound like clapping at all!" Later on I confirmed it with a class at Bell Labs' original an anechoic chamber!
There are really nice audiomatt - quite natural sounding
most clap samples or synthesized claps in 80ies drum machines make "claps", i.e. 2 or 3, and not only a single clap. that is half of its two most important properties.
