Terms and Conditions
1. When you purchase our soundbanks, you receive a Non-Exclusive License that allows you to use the included presets in both commercial and non-commercial music compositions. This encompasses all types of music projects and various methods of releasing your music, including digital platforms, YouTube, music libraries, film, video games, vinyl, and more.
When we create sequenced presets using the sequencer of a specific synth to modulate pitch and develop melodic lines (e.g., Acid V, Voltage Modular sequencer modules, etc.), these sequences serve as a foundation for crafting your own unique melodies. The same principle applies when any other modulation or source generates distinctive melodies and melodic lines.
2.You can sample and edit any of our preset sounds for use in your productions. However, please be aware that we do not own the rights to the samples included with specific synths. Therefore, we encourage you to review the terms and conditions set forth by the creator of that particular synth regarding the usage of those samples.
3. Each preset, including the sample-based ones, can be used individually as a single channel in your commercial or non-commercial tracks without any duration limit. There's no requirement to use them simultaneously with other channels. However, please note that for presets created with factory samples that come with the synth, we do not hold the rights to those samples. Therefore, we advise you to refer to the terms and conditions set by the synth's creator regarding the usage of those samples.
4. Each of our soundbank features its own comprehensive demonstration video on our YouTube channel. For certain soundbanks there are available music tracks that are created using the presets. If any sections of a track are not generated with the specific soundbank, we discreetly note this. Typically, these tracks include percussion and drum elements from the music project associated with the soundbank.
5. All tracks for the provided soundbanks and the demonstration music performances in the preset walkthrough videos are composed, created and performed by Vicious Antelope.
6. Prices include VAT where applicable
7. Typically, unless otherwise specified for individual coupons, all monthly discount coupons can be used multiple times across different orders. However, each coupon earned from our loyalty program may only be redeemed for a single purchase.
8. You may apply a maximum of one coupon per purchase.
9. All products are available as digital downloads and will be sent to the email address you provide at the time of purchase. Please note that the download links expire 30 days after the order is placed. If you need new links for your products after this period, feel free to contact us at viciousantelopeproductions@gmail.com.
10. Vicious Antelope offers its products as-is and without any warranty. Many of the presets included in our soundbanks are demonstrated in the dedicated product videos, which can be viewed prior to purchase. However, we cannot guarantee that the final product will fulfill all personal requirements. Vicious Antelope is not liable for any damages—including equipment damage, hearing loss, profit loss, data loss, or any other harm—resulting from its products, and we cannot ensure that they are completely free of errors or bugs. Our liability shall not exceed the amount you paid for the specific soundbank.
Given the complexity of the sound design process and the nature of synthesizers and audio effects, some presets may not be mono compatible. Always verify your mixes and masters in mono.
10a. To achieve the best sound quality and prevent potential equipment damage, it’s crucial to maintain optimal levels for your synth tracks and avoid digital clipping from the synth's output. While we aim to set good levels during sound design, the final output is influenced by various factors, such as the number of keys pressed and their respective velocities. Therefore, always strive to prevent digital clipping. Utilizing a limiter is highly recommended to safeguard your equipment and ensure a clean sound.
Maintaining your monitor volume at optimal levels is essential to prevent equipment damage and protect your hearing.
Certain parameters of synthesizers can significantly enhance volume intensity, such as high filter resonance, distortion, and saturation effects, among others, leading to extremely high sound intensity. We utilize those parameters to achieve our sonic goals. While achieving the sounds we want is important, it's crucial to maintain monitor volume at optimal levels to prevent equipment damage and protect your hearing. Please consult your hardware manuals for detailed specifications.
Exercise caution with volume levels when connecting external audio inputs to synthesizers that offer this feature. Unexpected volume surges can happen, so it's essential to be mindful. The same applies to synthesizers with audio signal feedback options.
11. Vicious Antelope disclaims any liability for potential copyright infringement arising from the melodic lines generated by the specific synth's sequencer module(s), other modulation source, or any other source in our presets. The default melodic line included with the preset may not be used in its original form in your releases.
12. We accept payments via PayPal as well as major credit cards, including Visa and Mastercard.
