I'm so sorry to hear that you've been going through this. I can see why this would be stressful. make sure to continue doing your best to take care of yourself!! (I like chamomile tea since it has calming effects! :D)

I really appreciate you giving context and a well-written response!

Fif @mrfiffles.com · 2d

you can look at the monthly updates on their blog and the twitter accounts of the devs to get a bit more context

sadly, I don't

TLDR; Maghni's team has consistently failed with communicating with its backers. a lot of the management left the project in a messy way and the devs are left with an incomplete version of the code to work on and they're either not able to access the funds/the funds are gone (?)

People paid real money that can't be refunded; I think that earns them the right to be upset. If this were a self-funded passion project like an UTAUloid or Diffsinger, then there wouldn't be any moral obligation to deliver... But, because that's not the case, people deserve an explanation.

SynthV folks - is anybody in the market for a copy of ASTERIAN? i do love him so, but I need to downsize and I'm sure there's someone out there who will make better use of him than I can rn 💫

due to getting aver's starter pack, I'm gonna have yet another extra copy of sv2. I'm not sure if I wanna try selling it or if I wanna try holding a macne nana-themed contest with it as the prize.

would it be too self-indulgent to do that? would there even be entries?

I got Eleanor Forte AI!!! I'm glad I was able to get her before her stock ran out

-information about packages finally getting shipped out but have since been silent. the remaining team is left with halfway complete code and a broken company structure.

a lot of the original management of the project suddenly left messily and there's only a few developers left to work on the engine. since the end of the crowdfund, there's been consistent issues of sparse communication and broken promises. early last month, Vocatone said they would announce-

If some nonexistent miracle happened, and Oliver showed up in my mailbox, I don't think I could bring myself to display him.

I feel so ashamed of him. I don't want to see an empty box mocking me.

If by some miracle the software came out, I refuse to support or promote it.

Fif @mrfiffles.com · 22d

If I'm being fully honest, the situation with Maghni AI has put me off of backing crowdfunds ever again.

It was my first ever contribution (of $290 nontheless) and that's money that I'll never get back, even with my multiple emails.

My nostalgia for Oliver was taken advantage of...

I just found out expired trials no longer linger in your product list!!!

You aren't able to do another trial of the voice but I'm happy that expired trials no longer clog up your product list! :)

Fif @mrfiffles.com · Sep 6

I doubt ranges are accurate due to voices easily going beyond their recommended ranges. Miyamai Moca AI 2 has a recommended range of C4 to F4 which is only 5 notes...

I couldn't find an official range provided by AHS, but in my experience, she can sing many more notes than that

A screenshot of the Dreamtonics product manager. It shows Miyamai Moca AI 2 with the tag "C4-F4" and the tag "Japanese"

New #SynthV feature!

In the product manager, it now shows tags relating to the native language, pitch range, and genre(s) of a voice!

Notes:
- Only Dreamtonics vocals appear to have genre tags
- Only SV2 vocals have range tags (which are highly inaccurate)
- SV1 vocals only have language tags

A screenshot of the Dreamtonics product manager. It shows Tsurumaki Maki AI 2 with the tag "C#4-B4" and the tag "Japanese". Yuma 2 is shown with the following tags: "Electronic", "Hip-Hop", "Pop", "G3-F#4", and "Japanese". ASTERIAN is shown to only have the tag "English"
