The Mellotron Group

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.

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
