yeah, but then the question is what other stuff has he sampled from for his for money sample pack?
Any samples I have put out for sale have been all my own work. I recently pulled a circuit bent Speak & Spell pack as I was unsure of the clearance of some of the non-bent original letters and phrases, that was an area of much debate, too.
But to me, and as has already been mentioned, if you've paid for the software, then surely you can use it as you please.
nordloef got it bang on what he said regarding the Roland samples. Guys who have put out packs of the drum sounds aren't giving Roland any royalties... However, if I could get in touch with Johan, I'd be happy to discuss a profit share, if this made it legit.
I don't agree with Alpine's opinion that it is damaging to the scene, I'm not targetting chiptune producers with my planned sample pack. But how would that be damaging anyway? I give away plenty of freebies and am not some commercial whore of a sample house.
It's for the guys who want some genuine chip sounds who don't get deep into chiptune using LSDJ, Nanoloop etc. It's easy access to niche sounds that I'm hoping producers will enjoy and get some good use out of. I'm sure they aren't going to be your rivals and sell out the chiptune scene!
