You fail to understand, trosha... By sampling a T2, you are NOT making a sample. You are stealing someone else's sample. To make a piano sample for instance, you have to take mikes and a recorder out to a REAL piano, and record that... To make a brass sample, you have to hire in brass players, and record them laboriously to create a coherent set of brass samples. Ditto guitars, ditto basses, ditto everything else in the T2...

You, on the other hand, have neither the skills nor the resources to do this. So what is your solution? Oh, yes.. steal the work of someone that DID have the resources and skills to do it.

I can imagine how forgiving you will be, when someone who has neither the skills nor the resources to buy a computer and some keyboards breaks into your house and steals everything you have got... No doubt you will forgive him, go out and buy a lot more expensive equipment (and then leave the door to your house open, so the NEXT poor penniless person can help themselves again).... NO?

This is, in essence, EXACTLY what you are doing... Or is theft OK only if it is YOU doing the stealing...

As I said, there is a quantum difference between sampling a few sounds from different Roland or Korg keyboards for use in a sampler, and the outright copying of every single sound in a keyboard to duplicate the machine. But fortunately, you are not even smart enough to not brag about your piracy on a public forum that logs IP's, so hopefully, Yamaha's lawyers will be beating down your doors sooner than you expect.

You are no better than the thief who burgles your apartment, and deserve the same fate...
