What Haptic Perc does
Haptic Perc models the physical behavior of struck objects, and six parameters shape the underlying models to set surface, resonance and related characteristics. Unlimited presets can be created by adjusting these parameters, and a set of presets is included.
The plugin is offered in two flavors, a VST effect and a VSTi instrument, in VST2 and AU formats for Windows and macOS. Its parameters are automatable in the host, and it can be loaded on any MIDI track and played from a MIDI controller keyboard. The developer notes that any microphone is enough, even a built-in laptop microphone, though a studio-grade mic or piezoelectric contact mic is recommended for more sound detail. The download is 35 MB.
