If it was 'unethical', then you'd have 512 "Init Patches" and it be up to you to fill them in, no? If it was 'unethical' then bands woudl be sueing each other for someone else using 'their' preset in a song.
Making sounds is your thing. That's awesome. Writing music is my thing. Having other people help me with my writing process I think it's great, no matter what part of the process it is.
I mean heck, have you ever used a chord progression that's in another published song? Is that ethical? Someone else already wrote it before you, right?
I mean really, we could beat this to death. At the end of the day, do what makes you happy and makes you feel GOOD about the music you write. To me, that's all that should matter.
