Title: Can I use Arturia sequences royalty-free? And what about copyright stuff?
Post by: seandynan on January 24, 2013, 09:35:43 pm
Hi there

Can I freely use the sequences that come as patches with the various Arturia softsynths in commercial releases? Do I need to pay royalties or attribute copyright?

Thanks

I have the same question here. Arturia, can we get an answer?

Old question, but I think the manual of any of the instruments answers it:

5. In case a sound library is part of the purchased Product the following shall apply in addition to the EULA
The provided samples, instruments and presets can be used for commercial or non-commercial music and audio Productions without the prior permission from Arturia under the terms of this Agreement. The usage of this Product (in particular samples, instruments and presets) for the creation of a sound library or as a sound library for any kind of synthesizer, virtual instrument, sample library, sample-based Product or other musical instrument is strictly prohibited. Individual samples, sound sets or audio loops may not be distributed (commercially or otherwise) standalone. Furthermore these samples, sound sets or audio may not be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, sound libraries or sound effects.

So, I understand this as that you can use any preset in the instrument, in a production of your own, just not if you make banks or presets for sale, or chose to sample the presets for external sales.  :-)
