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
