- autoexec 2y ago> The drum beat is just the Rock 1 preset of the Suzuki Omnichord I wonder if you need to pay royalties or get permission for that kind of thing... or is license to use it commercially included in the price of the instrument?
- KerrAvon 2y agoIANAL, but you don't need a license to publish yourself playing a piano or a guitar, and synthesizers are also musical instruments. That said, I'm not sure that's ever been tested in court, so if someone wanted to be a right-wing asshole about it, like take over Suzuki and try to get royalties from every hit song that used it, I guess it might be interesting.
- acomjean 2y agoThis came up recently, but generally musical instruments include a license for any music performance with that instrument. Includes: "STYLES, VOICES, PERFORMANCES, PATTERNS, ARPEGGIOS" https://usa.yamaha.com/about_yamaha/proprietary_rights_notice/index.html https://usa.yamaha.com/about_yamaha/proprietary_rights_notic... There are limits to prevent copying of raw sounds and reselling.
