Context for whatever's going on with Maghni AI?
No.10479
>>10478Basically the people who ran the original indiegogo campaign left the company which ended up fucking over the remaining team and now they're doing what they can to finish the project. Some baseless claims about it being a scam are being thrown around as well.
No.10487
>>10479Technically the only "new" thing happening is the rando calling them scammers. Maghni and Vocatone breaking up into two companies was officially announced a couple months ago, and (unfortunately) the development problems have been happening for years. The old team didn't have much business experience and massively underestimated how much extra time and money it would take to build an entire engine.
The current team is more realistic, but that means their reaction to this was "yeah sorry we're like 5 guys and if we have to cancel it we'll dump it on GitHub" so uhhhh

Wild part is Gemvox still has 2 vocals on the way. Sapphire’s sister who releases on VoiSona next month, and a second vocaloid bank

>>11019How much does it cost to make a voicebank anyway?
No.11024
>>11023Depends on the engine, but initial development fees vary from $30k USD on the low end to an estimated $60k-$70k USD on the high end, with additional fees accruing as development goes forward. This is before factoring in any costs it might take for recording and paying employees, too.
It's not cheap these days. During the V3 days, the cost used to be about $5k-$10k, which is why so many were made at the time.
No.11025
>>11024Really? I wouldn't have expected that when so much of the V6 library consists of random streamers and UTAU users. They don't seem to be selling as well either, so are they just producing a bunch of expensive voicebanks at a loss these days?
No.11026
>>11025A voicebank only needs to make ~700 sales to break even, so they don't need to sell well.
No.11027
>>11025The VXB ones and Robot Nurse were actually a result of Yamaha reaching out to the creators and not the creators reaching out to the company surprisingly. I’m not sure how much of the current V6 library is like this but GEMVOX, CFM, anyone who’s gone through Internet Co., and the Shiki Rowen are all paid up.
They’re not the only company doing this either of course. Juxer has a similar outreach program for ACE, so any popular UTAU getting an ACE bank is literally getting a cheap opportunity, and why wouldn’t you take it?

https://camp-fire.jp/projects/897570/viewBasically is V5. The standard synthesis engine V6 runs is also just a slightly improved V5. (I like to call it V5.5 lol) Missile also said it could be comparable to V4 as well, but I'm pretty sure it's V5.
Regardless, we'll be able to tell for certain on release around May (that's when rewards are planned to be shipped). After install it'll be pretty easy to see which Vocaloid Editors pick it up. The V4 Editor was able to pick up the SP banks with no issue for example, so if it's V5 or lower, no updates will be necessary for it to run in the older editors.
