absolutely understandable the clap in fact can sound very nice if you layer it with a short transient sample. just take any sample with a decent portion of attack to it. then use sample start and end point and make them just one unit apart from each other. sweep through the sample, find a sweet spot and there you go
alternatively; yeah - use a snare or a clap with good attack so that it punches through and layer it though you loose the sonic character of the analog machines that way. if you wanna keep it pure, i would recommend step 1
