i'm working on a microKORG clone in pd, and plan on sampling korg's DWGS
(digital waveform generator syetm) sounds.  i've read the manual backwards
and forwards a few times and nothing in there says what my rights are and
are not with the microKORG.  i apparantly can legally reverse engineer the
hardware, not that i want to (but i plan on doing to my tr808 some day, as 
well as modify it so i can control it via pd and my parallel port).
