I don't see where the moral confusion comes from...
If you go out and sample a Fender Rhodes, and do a good job, it will take you WEEKS. You have to
meticulously record every note, at multiple velocities, carefully loop them (unless you are doing a GIGA thing
where you have enough memory to not need loops (that is NOT the case with arranger soundsets!)
and then carefully lay them out on the keyboard. A LOT of work. You expect to get PAID for that work...
Now someone comes along and samples YOUR samples. No weeks of work. No meticulous editing.
No hiring or buying the source instrument. No needing expensive mikes or pre's. Just copy the data.
If you can't make the connection between that and simple theft, you are lost, my friends... I simply hope no-one does what I posted in jest.
But if they were, what is the difference? You worked long and hard for what you own.
I hope that no-one does to you what you are saying it is alright to do to someone else. Ketron didn't sample
a T3 for their samples. They'd be in court right now if they did. And so will you, if you take this nonsense seriously.
