> What Do I Need to Change On Your Template Releases?
As is standard across the industry, you must use the templates and included instruments to create your own original piece of music.
This requirement - as stated in detail in the licence agreement, is to protect all of our users.
This is easy to do with our template packs as all of the principal melodic elements are created using midi and multiampled instruments.
We encourage you to be as original as possible as multiple people will have access to our releases.
> Can I use your Instruments to make sample packs?
Yes - Since April 2023, all of our instruments are licenced for use in the creation of sample packs for commercial sale by any means.
This does not include any musical motifs, midi, audio loops, stems or other musical IP owned by F9. This licence is retricted to the playable insturments and drum, one shot and FX kits.
Sample creation is now a vital part of musician income and we want to actively support artists and producers in this part of their work.
> Why do you require a full install of Kontakt?
NI charge developers to encode for the free edition of Kontakt (formely known as Kontakt player).
This would more than double (in some cases triple) the cost of the Kontakt editions, leaving Kontakt users at a disadvantage.
We don't this this is fair and why we support the full edition of Kontakt only without licence codes. These are known in the industry as "unlocked' Kontakt libaries.
> Can I Get Tax Invoices For My Purchases?
Our order confirmations now include a link to download a full VAT-compliant invoice. If you haven’t received a confirmation email after your order, please check all promotions inboxes in your email, as it may have landed there. For example, Gmail users should check their "Promotions" inbox. To ensure you receive all emails from F9, please add info@f9-audio.com to your trusted contacts.
EU Customers: Please note that F9 is a UK-based company, and following Brexit, we are no longer part of the EU B2B VAT Scheme.
