WARNING: DO NOT USE VIRTUAL PLAYING ORCHESTRA!!As of 2022-02-10 VPO is misleading it's users into violating copyright of the source samples' authors. The library uses various sources licensed under CC-Sampling+ (requires attribution) or CC-BY-SA (requires attribution AND using CC-BY-SA license for your music). This makes it an absolute nightmare to use legitimately, but the author has also erronously stated it's ok to use it without attribution or license limitation.If you want to use VPO instruemnts, you need to track down what samples are used, who made them and what license applies to them - then comply to that license.SO JUST DON'T USE VIRTUAL PLAYING ORCHESTRA!I am deeply sorry, as I've passed on this misleading information and helped mislead others, causing further harm to the authors of the samples. I will take care to not repeat such a mistake again.For a list of trusted, "worry-free" sampled instruments, go here:https://hilbricht.net/foss-sampled-instruments.html--- Back to the original text of this post:From this livestream you can learn:

DO NOT USE Virtual Playing Orchestra + making a psytrance track (unfa live 2020-02-02)

WARNING: DO NOT USE VIRTUAL PLAYING ORCHESTRA!! As of 2022-02-11 I have been informed that the library is stating that the don't need to credit anybody in their music. This is not true.
