Title: Samples
Post by: usrfriendly on June 19, 2008, 09:18:00
Well, i'm glad to have the first post in the NitroTracker forum.  I've got some samples I use, not many, and half are the included Starpulse LSDJ samples.  Does anybody know some good NES or GameBoy sample packs?  I am trying to find percussion mostly, because I can make everything else.

It's not "officially" open yet (yet to be announced by the developer on the next release of NT), but it's certainly open for use, hello :)

Hey!

The forum hasn't officially been announced, but there's no reason not to start using it :)

Some good resources for legal samples are


To find Game Boy sounds you should search for LSDJ on Freesound. There's a lot of stuff, especially percussion.

yeah, freesound is the best, so far, as far as variety goes.  Tob, best of luck on Nitro Tracker, and any other projects you have.  Thanks everybody.

to help others who might come here, I came across this in the Milky Tracker forum, which was one of many places I looked for samples:

Here's another link I found elsewhere on mod archive

http://tracker.modarchive.org/torrents/TMA-waveworld.zip.torrent

Contains plenty of nice short mono wavs which is perfect for NT, although some folders do have stereo samples.

weighs in at about 1.5GB

Cheers

Stereo samples are no problem - NitroTracker converts them to mono automatically.

Has anyone got links for techno samples and scratching?

As is poguemahon, I'm looking for a good collection of raw 8-bit wavs to start writing some megaman-esque music! Megaman 2 has some of the best videogame music ever, I just love that analog tone; very nostalgic to me, I was half raised by an NES!  Anyway, I bookmarked the above links, but a solid NES collection would be great if anyone knows where to look.  Thanks for everything.

I'll put up what I've got tomorrow: three pulse (square) waves, triangle, sawtooth and sine (which sounds bad in NitroTracker).

Sorry about the double post, the edit feature doesn't seem to like me much.  Got the wave forms, the noise channel is more than likely RAM-intensive, but if you're doing chiptune, it won't be too bad.  Basically, apply looping to the shapes to make them play out.

my favorite set of 8-bit samples came from the user hardPCM on freesound. It seems to be lots of samples straight from NES or GB games. I'm sure most of you will recognize a number of them.

Heres a link to his Chip Pack
