Welcome to VocaTone!

Thank you for your continued patience and support. We apologize for the delay in providing this update.

Vocatone will be minimizing its operations, and Vocatone President Austin has stepped down to focus on fulfilling all remaining obligations related to the shipment of Maghni Indiegogo backer rewards. We are still currently engaged in internal discussions regarding our leadership going forward.

As part of this transition, we will provide updated scheduling information regarding reward fulfillment.

Regarding Refund Requests

Vocatone is not the creator of the Maghni Indiegogo campaign and did not receive any campaign funds. Our responsibility is limited to the fulfillment and shipment of backer rewards.

If you wish to request a refund, you may either contact the Indiegogo campaign creator, Natalia Shmueli, directly through the campaign page, or follow the appropriate steps detailed in IndieGogo’s Terms of Service.

Please note that following the reorganization of Natalia’s company, Misbah Studios LLC now operates under both Misbah Studios and Crescendia.

If you choose to follow IndieGogo’s Terms of Service for a refund, you may find Misbah and Crescendia’s business control number by searching for their names on any business entity search form.

Vocatone will archive all refund requests submitted through our refund request form. If you submit a refund request through our form, your reward package will be securely stored. Should you later change your mind and decide to cancel your refund request, you may still receive your shipment after 2027.

Shipment Schedule

Reward shipments will resume on August 7 and continue until completion in December.

Shipment updates will indicate the reward tiers currently being fulfilled, along with the next five weeks of scheduled shipments, allowing backers to estimate when their rewards will be dispatched. Shipments will begin with the smaller reward tiers.

If your shipping address has changed, please submit an update using our address change form.

Thank you for your understanding and continued patience as we work to complete fulfillment.

Hi everyone - it’s been a while! As stated previously, all the crowdfund rewards are currently here in the studio and are prepared to be sent off. At this time, we don’t have the funding to ship all rewards at once, so deliveries will be staggered over time. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this. In case you missed it, here’s the rewards again:

We’ve heard your feedback about the uncertainty of timelines surrounding VocaTone rewards, so we’re setting up a dedicated email form for VocaTone reward questions and a public shipping log for reward deliverables. We will try to reply to responses within three business days.

On the other hand, VocaTone and Crescendia’s quiet period has led to some building confusion, so we’d also like to clarify with an official statement regarding our involvement:

• VocaTone now operates as a third-party partner to Maghni AI. We are not involved in the development of the engine or the management of its budget. We are not fully informed about the current status of Maghni AI or the specific details of its recent restructuring.
• VocaTone did not handle or have access to the funds raised through the Indiegogo campaign. The crowdfunding budget was managed by Misbah Studios and was largely allocated to Barham, the then sole-developer of the Maghni AI engine.
• Our initial role in the campaign was limited to hosting and creating promotional materials for Maghni AI, including the use of VocaTone’s characters and branding on the Indiegogo page.

We remain fully supportive of Maghni AI and the new Crescendia team, who, like us, are working through challenges with limited resources. We know that everyone involved is doing their best, and we appreciate the ongoing efforts on all sides.

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to provide more clarity on the status of the CF rewards. We’re still in the process of rebuilding, and we’re committed to doing so without leaving anyone behind. We also encourage you to continue supporting Maghni AI as they move forward to the next stage of their development.

Hello everyone! Last month we received the last of items for the Indiegogo reward packages, and all that’s left is labels for shipping. We’re sorry to hear Crescendia’s restructuring has been difficult on top of covering the rewards, but we’re wishing them the best of luck. Here is a peek of some of what’s being sent off!

For the curious, us here at Vocatone have been decompressing and learning new skills to try some small-scale projects, so all has been quiet. In the meantime, for fans of UTAU, our little jokebaby Apryl Foolsen has been lent to Mikoto Studios, who have been making great progress with their engine.
