OPEN SOUND DATA - our concept and regulation

Our concept

As a provider of open control solutions for digital model railroads, Desktop Station has been working with the DCC Electronic Craft Coalition and the clubs, organizations, and individual users who support our activities to make DCC more fun. In the course of these activities, we have learned that there are individuals who have developed high-quality DCC sound data. However, due to various reasons, this data is not available to the general public. So, we decided to help make the data available to the public, and make it widely available to the general public, so that we can spread the goodness and fun of DCC. Therefore, DesktopStation has decided to provide financial support and cooperation to creators who create sound data for DCC, to create data that is completely free of copyright issues, and to provide the results to Japanese DCC users in Japan for free (free of charge). We have opened this page in order to provide the results to Japanese DCC users in Japan free of charge.

The sound data on this page is sponsored by DesktopStation and is made available under contract with the creators. We will not give permission even if we receive inquiries. Please include the URL to this page, https://desktopstation.net/sounds/, when you introduce it. This page is link free. You do not need permission to post a link to this page, and you can post the URL information on the Web or in a magazine.

When you use OPEN SOUND DATA, please read this page about copyright and neighboring rights for sound.
