This is my claps patch. Basically four parallel cracks from bandpassed noise with some slight delay. 3 lines also work, but five or more doesn't seem to add more.
It works but 9% CPU is a lot for claps I think! Any suggestions for simplifications, beyond "use a sample"?
(Note that it obviously helps to attach the noise generator to all the filters)
smaller mixer? (mix 4)
you can also upload your patch!
(so everybody can try and mod)
Try disconnecting the noise source and using some other method for generating noise (maybe some oscillators in FM configuration)
Yeah, please share the patch file for us lazy ones. =)
(And topic minimum length is to encourage informative topic titles, I suppose! Discourse (the forum software) has a lot of these kinds of thought-out features.)
Pfft, something wrong with your mouses?

I can't test if FM oscs use less CPU than the noise oscillator and filter combo. Another option is a very brief tock sample played back at different speeds.
Some intelligent mapping of the individual parameters to more musical/tonal parameters ("spread", "brightness") would be nice.
