C64 Synth v1.0 | Commodore 64.
The C64 Synth v1.0 is a collection of samples from the Commodore 64.
The four waveforms of the C64 was captured (each 7 octaves), using a small C64-basic synth program. (Find it below)
Because the square waveform has a duration parameter, this waveform was captured in five different
versions of duration. Also other samples from various games and drum samples is included.

The C64 Synth v1.0 samples can be used for different music software. Patches is included for Propellerhead Reason.
Using the Reason effects (for mod-wheel etc.),- brings very nice & pure sound from the C64 samples!
The plain waveform .wav samples has loop-points and other information for samplers like the NNXT..
