keep it short :-)
gona be working on a Nintendo DS title. I need to build my own instrument sounds for my MIDI'S to run through... i'm curious about the legalities of sampling other samples i legally own? since the samples are only used to play the music, i'm not selling the samples on themselves - is it legal to do or do I have to actually make all the sounds from scratch?

It is legal IF you purchase the rights to use those sounds. Since you already own them, it won't be questioned. However, if you use someone else's synthesizers, etc. (Roland is very popular) then you must ask Roland for permission to use their synthesizer in the production of the track.

lf you legally own them its all good. Lotsa ppl use sample cd's they purchase to make music. just loop it up and go to town. The 808 has been sampled for years. i like to play all my own instruments, but at times i like to use sampled kick drums or crashes too..... good luck on your project. peace
