Renata Amiga Sample Pack #1

Renata Amiga Sample Pack #1

The core Amiga kit: drawn waveforms through an A500 with the filter on.

200 one-shot samples synthesised by Renata and played back the way an

Amiga plays anything. Paula has no oscillators - it is four channels reading

8-bit bytes out of memory at a rate you set - so nothing here claims to be

"voiced on" it. The instruments were drawn and rendered into 8-bit PCM by

Renata, then played through Paula's period register, its zero-order hold and

its output filter.

Nothing was loaded from a module, a game or a record. Every byte started as

code.

That matters for one practical reason: you can use these commercially without

wondering who owns them.

  200 WAV files, 44.1 kHz, 16-bit, mono

READY TO WORK WITH

Every pitched sample has its note in the filename, so you know the root before

you load it - no guessing, no tuning by ear.

Every file is peak-normalised to -1 dBFS, DC-corrected and faded at both ends.

Nothing clicks when you trigger it.

Every filename starts with "Renata Amiga Sample Pack 1", so when a sample ends up

in a folder with three hundred others you can still tell where it came from.

WHAT'S IN THIS ONE

The one to start with. Saw, square and hand-drawn waveforms through the

A500's LED filter, chip arpeggios done the tracker way - by rewriting the

period register - and a full drum kit. If you only want one Amiga pack, this

is it.

    Output filter   A500 fixed + LED on (the softer machine)

  Bass roots      C1 G1 C2 G2

  Lead roots      C4 E4 G4 C5

  Chord roots     C3 F3 G3 A3

  Pluck roots     C3 E3 G3 C4

  Bass techniques saw, square, triangle, organ, fat, octave, detune, sine

  Lead techniques saw, pulse 25, fm, slide, vibrato, fifths, octave, sine

THIS IS ONE OF FIVE

There are five Amiga packs and each is a genuinely different kit - different

root notes, different chip techniques, different drums. No two packs share a

single root note in any category, so the five together cover the keyboard

rather than repeating it. Pack 1 is not pack 1 transposed.

LICENCE

Use them in anything you make - games, videos, tracks, streams, films,

commercial work - for free, forever, in as many projects as you like. Edit

them however you want.

Credit "Samples by Renata - renatachiptune.com" where a credit is possible.

That's asked, not enforced.

The one thing you may not do is resell them as samples - a sample pack, a

sound library, a preset bank or a stock-audio listing. They have to be part of

something you made. Full licence is in the README inside the download.
