Back in 2022, Xhun Audio, the developer of the LittleOne (Moog Little Phatty), introduced the SnapLab Collection, a new series of plugins focusing on simplicity and efficiency. The KickBeat drum synth plugin was the first plugin in this series.
Now comes the SnareClack, a percussive synth plugin made for snares. Yes, logically, after the kick comes the snare.
Xhun Audio SnareClack
SnareClack is a compact, easy-to-use snare drum Synthesizer plugin. It uses 16-bit integer precision digital synthesis techniques (widely used on late-90s hardware devices) and a modeled DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter) circuit with saturation control.
According to Xhun Audio, it follows the design of all SnapLab Collection plugins. It is intended to have a very particular focus and scope, a simple, easy-to-use interface, and will be available at a fair and affordable price.
Full details of the plugin controls will be available in the following days.
KickBeat
The kick counterpart to the new snare drum plugin is KickBeat. It’s a drum kick synth plugin with two independent (bass/snap) digital synthesis layers, a built-in digital reverberation DSP algorithm, and an analog-modeled transistor-based saturation circuit.
Features
- Accurate physical modeling simulation achieved by the adoption of the Advanced Component Simulation (ACS) approach.
- Full 64-bit processing accuracy for every single aspect of the simulation.
- A complete, self-contained, hybrid digital-analogue electronic drum kick generator device.
- Two independent (Bass / Snap) digital synthesis layers featuring late-90s, genuine 16-bit integer precision algorithms.
- Analogue modeled transistor-based saturation circuit with load control.
- Built-in digital reverberation DSP algorithm.
- Including 40+ ready-to-use factory presets collection covering multi-genre styles.

First Impression
It looks like a nice drum synth extension of the easy-to-use SnapLap Collection. On the other hand, KickBeat kick drum synth plugin for 9€ is a good deal, especially if you’re looking for a kick drum synth.
Xhun Audio SnareClack is available now for an introductory price of 19,90€ instead of 39€. The plugin runs as a VST, VST3, AU, and AAX plugin on macOS (Intel) and Windows. A native Apple Silicon version is not yet available, but you can use it using Apple Rosetta 2 on Apple Silicon macs.
KickBeat is available for 9€ instead of 39€ (75% OFF) at VST Buzz until June 6, 2023.
