C'mon, you're not that naive. You sampling your Rhodes, there is no problem. But it would be successfully argued in a court of law that sampling someone else's proprietary work (in this case EVB3s R&D which resulted in their final product) and using it without permission as a base for your own product would in fact be copyright infringement. That is a totally different animal than "sampling your Rhodes."

It would literally be the same thing as someone building a V5 from Voce's or your blueprint/schematic (assuming you're that VoceDave...I can't tell) and then adding a function or two or improving a function or two. If that happened, you would have grounds to sue, and you would win.

That has to do with the fact that it's music... not an individual
sound. If you sample your Fender Rhodes, is that infringement?.
