What an absurd thread. Pdarg could do nothing with the SFZ files unless he already possessed the samples so clearlly this is not the issue.
Sharing mapping to samples does not promote piracy, that's a ridiculous statement.
Sending Pdarg SFZ files is hardly "reverse engineering". Doing what -I- did, modifying Steven Slates drums and posting those SFZ files here publicly on the forum, is perhaps a little closer to reverse engineering but still not even close to qualifying. Let's add the fact people publicly complained and reported me about that thread yet not one word from Cakewalk or a moderator. Does that sound like Cakewalk was upset about my "copyright infringement" or "reverse engineering"?
In the next two weeks I will be posting almost ten reworked, bastardized, edited and vastly improved versions of the SFZ files for Steven Slates Old Zep kit. It is quite surprising to hear the improvements I've made. I trust all those complaining in this thread will refrain from downloading and using the superior sounding kit, despite the fact they have already paid for the samples and were given sub-standard, poorly edited and essentially non-functional mapping rendering said samples pretty much useless, and I hope all others will download and benefit from the improvements. I'll let you know when the cease and desist letters show up.
I understand protecting intellectual property but there becomes a point where common sense should prevail.
EDIT: OK, so I apologize. This thread is actually offensive, not just absurd. I realize now Pdarg is actually asking if someone has -already- remapped the samples to SFZ for SD3 and asking them to share the mappings if they would. To object to others sharing mappings they have created themselves is bizarre, trivial, and possibly inaccurate in terms of legality.... if any company told me I could not remap samples I purchased from them I would not only ignore them but they would never see a penny of investment from me ever again. YMMV.
Mod Bod - please quote me the specific refrain from the user agreement that would oppose someone remapping the samples to be used in a different sampler for their own purpose. This I would like to see, and since you are making direct claim that this is in violation of the user agreement then you have already found and read the specific section as you have clearly made a legal determination. Therefore, surely you can also take the time to produce the section that pertains to the issue. Or is quoting the user agreement copyright infringement too?
