Add a Version
Add a version (e.g. 1.0.0) from the product page. Describe what changed in the release notes. Creators can create versions; only admins publish them.
Upload Files
Upload files from the product version page. Uploaded files require admin review. Files pending review or rejected are not visible to buyers.
Submit for Review
Click the submit button from the products page. Admins will review and approve the product, version, files, and compliance. You publish it yourself after approval.
Products →View Sales and Payouts
View total sales, monthly sales, per-product stats, fees, and earnings on the sales page. Payouts are request-based: sales settle 30 days after the order, and once your settled balance reaches 1,000 JPY you can request a payout, which is transferred to your registered bank account via Stripe Connect after approval.
Rights to Recorded Sounds
You may only sell sounds you personally performed and recorded, sounds you synthesized or generated yourself, or sounds you have explicit permission to redistribute as sound material.
Packs including the following cannot be sold:
- —Recordings of the built-in sounds from electronic drum sound modules (e.g. Roland V-Drums, Yamaha DTX).
- —Recordings or conversions of sounds from hardware/software sound modules, drum machines, or other companies' sample packs or loop libraries.
Manufacturer terms generally treat "using the sound within a track" and "redistributing or selling it as sound material" as separate uses, and the latter is typically prohibited. This can be a rights infringement even without bad intent.
Using an electronic drum kit as a MIDI controller (to trigger sounds from packs you made or purchased) is fine.
