Download px560 tones to usb legality?

Hello all

 

You can take a tone out of px560 and it saves as a .wav file on usb stick.

 

Is it legal to use that file in a sampler such as Kontakt5 and then create a vst file from it, in this case it would be a Kontakt .nki file when processed.??

I think (and this is just an opinion from someone with no legal training) you would only get in trouble if you tried to sell the vst as a product. But if it turns out that you are technically not allowed to make a vst even for personal use, how would Casio find out? You'd have to outright tell everyone in a public forum that you wanted to do that. ...... Oops.

You paid Casio for hardware that contains Casio IP. Try to sell that IP and you WILL get in trouble. People have tried that already with sounds they sampled themselves from a particular Roland keyboard (the D-50). Roland came down hard on them. I'm not saying you had any intention of that but you seem to think that by owning the product you own everything inside it to do with as you please. Not so.
