Leap sounds vs recreating my own versions: use and sale terms?

Question

Couldn't find the answer to this anywhere:

been having fun messing around with some Leap expansions, getting a song idea started in my DAW. Now that I have a basic song idea down, the limitation whereby Leap outputs everything to a single stereo pair (making any "per channel" FX and mixing very limited) makes me want to now recreate the patterns and notes suggested by the Leap kits by using my own samples and midi  i.e. create my own kit, and mimic the drum patterns. Ditto bass riffs etc. using my own VST bass and "playing in" the riff.

Question is: if I were to put the resulting song on a streaming/sale site, am I breaking any Kontakt terms of use by essentially 'copying' the Leap sounds and remaking them myself? Or is such use part of the intended?

Sure… AFAIK You're more likely to have an issue with someone else who already used those sounds/loops and registered a song than to have issues with NI — AKA, if your song is too similar to someone else's that can be an issue.

You can't copyright MIDI drums patterns neither… In this regard it's a free for all.

Now, if someone say rips a bunch of NI MIDI/Patterns and sells those as a pack for production, then yes, they might receive a cease and desist, rightfully so. This is the main concern for companies, repackaging content in any way. Interpolating sounds, patterns or loops you own is fine.
