But my original point was to inform that there are MUCH more stringent rules about the copying of audio files than there is style DATA. Essentially, the law applies fairly equally between say a drum loop from a keyboard and Madonna's latest hit. For a start off, it's VERY easy to prove a waveform is the original. It's as easy as a fingerprint or DNA. No dodging the issue with questions about whether you COULD have come up with the same MIDI pattern yourself. Audio is unique.

And the fines and penalties for doing so, should the original maker of the audio (or their lawyers) decide to come after you (say if you had a hit with something made from it), are pretty draconian. Of course, it is still up to YOU how you use the technology... But if you think the issue is bullsh*t, ask The Verve where the money from their hit 'Bittersweet Symphony' went.

There's probably nothing to stop you putting cracked copies of all the VSTi's on your MS, too. But make no bones, you put stolen Ketron audio styles on this thing, you are doing no different. All that remains is your own conscience. And maybe the terrifying thought that, IF you have any success with it, one day someone could come knocking on YOUR door...


if Ketron Audya styles are full copyrighted,then you can not see/hear recorded video/sound on internet and youtube. if Ketron Audya styles are full copyrighted you can not make a song or demo and send here on synth zone. you can not use it live becouse of copyrighte.


but that live arranger module is not only for ketron internal styles i think. users can buy then third party audio styles created for Ketron Audya. or MS users can record styles in ketron audya format and play on MS.

IF styles are copyrighted, then you can not play internal ketron styles but you can buy third party styles. for ketron audya styles format Nobert from livestyler.de used a EMC Style Works license he used the EMC Style Works license
already for Live Styler gold, so you can play roland-ketron-yamaha-korg- and............
when you buy live arranger module from nobert you have EMC license for ketron styles, if copyrighte is broken for ketron style format then EMC is responsible and not lionstracs or livestyler.de i think.
