Renata Atari ST Sample Pack #1

Renata Atari ST Sample Pack 1

The core kit: the general-purpose Atari ST palette, in C and G.

200 one-shot samples made on an Atari ST's YM2149 sound chip. Not

recorded off a game, not ripped from a tune, not a neural network's idea of a

chiptune. Every file here was produced by running a real Atari ST replay

routine into an emulation of the YM2149 and recording what came out of it.

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

wondering who owns them.

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 Atari ST 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. Square bass, the hardware buzzer, chip arpeggios,

three-channel pads and a full drum kit - the sounds an Atari ST tune is

actually built from, at the pitches most tunes sit at. If you only want one

Atari pack, this is it.

  Bass roots      C1 G1 C2 G2

  Lead roots      C4 E4 G4 C5

  Chord roots     C3 F3 G3 A3

THIS IS ONE OF FIVE

There are five Atari ST 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.
