You are too good to me.

Sorry for the brevity as I am replying from a remote region of iPhonekstan.

Here's a photo of Fritz with his iPhone, reporting from iPhonekstan. Notice he is wearing the traditional clothing.

Typically, musicians waive their right to any performance royalties in  "sample" situations. In the case of synths, you could create your own patches and sell them. However, you could not simply copy the patch info and resell it. Since the synth owners already have the patch presets, this rairly needs to be enforced. I am not sure of the finer points when it comes to sampling a synth. Obviously, there has been many a blind eye turned toward this.

It's a good question.  I did a little googling and as usual can't really find anything exactly on point.  What Fritz says makes sense, but the license is implied.  I doubt if Trons were shipped with a license like a shrink wrapped piece of software has these days.

 

But, for the musicians that recorded the sounds for the Chamberlin and Mellotron masters, I assume it was just another gig and they were paid.  Wouldn't that potentially relinquish future rights and royalties?

You don't own the sounds, but are granted a license to use them as you will.

I recorded an entire album with only Mellotron, Orchestron and Optigan and I have always thought that if you have bought the instrument you would own the sounds ?

Hello

I started recording some tracks featuring Mellotron, Optigan and Orchestron.  Now, I was wondering, in fact, all these sounds are just samples - who owns the copyright on these recordings? In fact, can you just use this free?
I know that with the usual tron sounds nobody bothers and just puts them on their records, but it was in fact when I was using the optigan, where you have loops of recorded big band and such, at that point this question came up to me...

thanks

Dieter
