Where do sounds on Arpeggi come from?
All sounds in Arpeggi are sourced from you, our amazing community of musicians! Sounds on Arpeggi are all sounds that have been registered in Arpeggi’s Audio Registry Protocol (ARP). Sounds and songs on Arpeggi can come from a few places:
One-shot samples from our genesis CC0 sample contributors.
Songs and Stems created in the studio, with or without using the one-shot sample library.
Can I use my own Sounds on Arpeggi?
Yes! Upload your own Sounds and mint them on Arpeggi to use in your own work and allow others to use them as well—while guaranteeing you credit. To maximize the remix potential of your Sounds, it's best to separate components (drum kicks, vocals, bass lines, etc) rather than uploading flattened audio.
When I make a song on Arpeggi, what do I get?
Congratulations! You’ve made your first song on Arpeggi. But what happens when you press mint?
You’ll receive a token of your song—the entire composition! This allows anyone to see the DNA of your song (samples, stems, collaborators) and freely use your song for sampling or remixing.
For each custom instrument track, you’ll receive a token as well.
If you’ve remixed another artist’s stem, you won’t receive a new token, but that artist will get attribution.
Navigate to your profile to view your minted songs, stems, and samples.
What rights do I have when I make a song on Arpeggi?
All sounds—samples, and created stems and songs—on Arpeggi are currently released as CC0 to ensure there are no legal barriers to collaboration and using other’s work. In exchange, Arpeggi enforces attribution to ensure referenced artists receive the credit they deserve.
For more information, users can read our Music Contributor Agreement and our Terms of Service.
If a song that uses my sample is sold, do I get paid?
Unlike other sample sharing platforms, Arpeggi guarantees attribution and credit whenever your samples are used. This technology allows for all sorts of unlocks, including tracking analytics for how many times your sample has been played and funneling royalties to contributors. Arpeggi does not yet support a royalty system, but it is on the development roadmap.
