Can I use PlantWave music in my song?Updated a day ago
First, let's get clear on what you mean by PlantWave music. PlantWave can be used in two ways, and the answer is different for each.
1. Recordings made with the app's soundsets
The soundsets in the PlantWave app are Data Garden compositions, licensed for personal, non-commercial use. In practice:
- Fine: live, in-person sessions such as workshops, sound baths, yoga and meditation classes, and other wellness work, with credit to PlantWave.
- Fine: short social media clips with attribution to PlantWave.
- Not permitted: recorded or distributed paid content, including music releases, podcasts, downloadable content, client deliverables, and background audio in published work.
The details live in our End User License Agreement.
2. Your own sounds via MIDI
PlantWave also works as a MIDI controller. When your plant plays into your own synthesizer or digital audio workstation (DAW), the sounds are yours and PlantWave makes no claim on the MIDI from the device. The music that comes out is entirely yours to use commercially. This is the path we recommend for anything you plan to release or share. Whether you are allowed to use that MIDI is a conversation for you and... your plant. So ask nicely. They usually say yes.
