Renata NES Sample Pack #2

Renata NES Sample Pack #2

Deep and long: low roots, slow decays, dark noise.

200 one-shot samples made on a Nintendo Entertainment System's 2A03 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 NES replay

routine into an emulation of the 2A03 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 NES Sample Pack 2", 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

For anything that wants weight and space. The notes run long - the bass is

840 ms against pack 3's 360 - the kicks fall further and take longer to die,

and the noise sits at its dark end. Chords are minor, diminished and tritone.

  Bass roots      A#1 D#2 G#2 C#3

  Lead roots      D4 F4 A4 D5

  Chord roots     D2 A2 D3 A#3

  Pluck roots     A2 D3 F3 A3

  Bass techniques alt wave, soft, fall, octave, echo, noise blend, fifths, swell

  Lead techniques alt wave, soft, fall, noise blend, long, fifths, swell, octave

THIS IS ONE OF FIVE

There are five NES 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 2 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.
