Nigel, but one question remains behind:

are raw samples on rom chip the same as the produced and synthesized final sound from a digital sample based music instrument outputs?

becouse when some one use for example Extreme Sampler Editor he has no information about how the raw samples are used and many many other things.

moreover copyright on ROM chip samples is good and well understood. You can read some posts back that i have said this already.

but produced and synthesized final sound from a digital sample based hardware music instrument outputs is tangible and having copyright protection?

or maybe they Watermarking the Raw wave data on rom chip?
