Of course!
Everyone knows that there is no legal copyright of the source sound.
But what we are discussing is the financial effect it has on the source instrument.

If I have the Fender Rhodes sound on my Korg, Yamaha or Roland keyboard I get the benefit of having and using that sound with out Fender Rhodes getting any money.

They (Fender Rhodes) had put in all the RD and money in developing that instrument and being able to get that sound. Now someone comes and samples the sound of that instrument and includes it on their instruments. As a result, people do not buy the Fender Rhodes but buy the instrument that sampled the Fender Rhodes sounds. So the user gets the benefit of having a Fender Rhodes sound with out paying Fender Rhodes.


If I have the T3sounds on my MS keyboard I get the benefit of having and using the T3 sound with out Yamaha getting any money.

They (Yamaha) had put in all the RD and money in developing that instrument and being able to get that sound. Now someone comes and samples the sound of that instrument and includes it on their instruments. As a result, people do not buy the T3 but buy the instrument that sampled the T3 sounds. So the user gets the benefit of having a T3 sound with out paying Yamaha.

The concept of someone taking other’s work with out paying for it has been going on for many many years in the music business.
Its just that the law protects some and not others.
But it happens all in the name of development and progress.
