Retro Computers +Plus features
- alphaSynth – a library of old-school computer sounds sourced from an 8-bit Apple ][ and Alpha Syntauri music system. Puremagnetik has captured the 8-bit charm of this early home computer music system and reprogrammed everything as an Ableton Live Pack, Kontakt & Logic Instruments.
- Eight Bit – a comprehensive selection of 1980s SID chip samples. Recorded directly from an original 6581 SID chip (as manufactured in the Commodore 64 home computer), the Eight Bit library includes a unique palette of basses, leads and pads.
- Blip – instantly transforms your computer into a lo-fi and gritty sound source that contains the full sonic palette from classic video games such as Pong and Space Invaders. It is a unique collection of instruments, kits and looped beats sourced from the original Atari 2600 sound chip.
- PM-8910 – Captured entirely from an original General Instruments AY-3-8910 three-voice programmable sound generator, PM-8910 is packed full of goodies for old-school gaming and chip sound enthusiasts.
- Punchpak – A collection of sounds created from the 8 bit sound chip on the classic Nintendo® (NES) gaming console. Puremagnetik sound designers have extracted this collection of blippy waveforms from the internal synthesizer of an NES and reprogrammed them as an Ableton Live Pack, Kontakt Instrument and Logic Library.
