Get it right: You can not own a patch (meaning a wired setting on a synth) Kraftwerk has sued for sampling of their recordings, not the use of a patch. You can own a composition but not the sound of the notes:
Is your plastic head still okay?

Read up a bit on the legal situation, because kraftwerk and others have repeatedly sued people who
either sampled or copied their sounds because they were far too similar and close to the original and
so their fame, which also lies in the sound, was simply used by others to sell their song better.
That's exactly the point. By the way, the Alesis Micron is digital and can't be patched by analog art,
this is a one-way street.

It's not about sampling, but about the individual sound that makes it so famous.
And a sound alone can of course also be a sequence of unmistakable tones or frequencies,
which is then also a kind of micro-composition. Listen to the early Isao Tomita works and recreate them/the
sounds for sale, have fun. It better can't be too similar to the originals, which is why there's
currently this huge wave of AI lawsuits from Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and
Warner Music against copycats. They recognize & analyze all sounds, but it's all nonsense...
Come on now...
You're right, i'll leave it at 5, it's not my problem.

Cheers!
