Keyboards and sampling
Q: My keyboard came loaded with sounds - I know these are sampled - at least
some of them... what if I write a song using those sounds?
A: When you purchased your keyboard, samplebank, or LEGAL program with
preset sounds, you paid for a license to use those included sounds to
COMPOSE ORIGINAL MATERIAL.
