ZincT Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) Vocoflex Launch link: https://dreamtonics.com/announcing-the-release-of-vocoflex-new-bundles/ The store now includes Synthesizer V Studio and Vocoflex bundles, as well as the usual single voices, all for 20% discount. Might be a good time to grab a few voicebanks, although Vocoflex seems pretty expensive! https://store.dreamtonics.com/ NOTE: Anyone considering buying Vocoflex, I would strongly urge you to read this thread first!

John Maar Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I'm not going to spend $160 on this. I bought the Synth V Pro + 4 voices bundle for a little over $450. If I don't get an extra discount for topping that up to the Synth V + 4 voices bundle + Vocoflex bundle, I'll wait for a better deal. If one never comes along? Then neeeeever mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one thing I don't need Vocoflex, and I would also like an extra discount for being an early adopter and buying many of their VBs already.

Zolton Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 For those (like me, until moments ago) who don't have Synth V yet and we're maybe waiting for something like the 2023 NAMM 30% discount territory: The Synth V Pro plus one voice bank adds the usual small discount to the 20%, so, e.g., Synth V + Solaria is less than $120. (In USD, pre-tax; the final blow to your wallet may vary.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Maar Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 (edited) DANGER DANGER DANGER WILL RODGERS I just read the following post on the Band in a Box forum in a thread about AI generated voices that included a couple of mentions of VocoFlex. "I purchased, received a license and then received an email directing me to a site that asked for a copy of an official government issued ID before I am able to download the product that I paid for. Since you also have payment information, this violates many US and California consumer protection laws. As you are not an agency of the US Government, State of California, an airline or one of my medical care providers, this is absolutely unacceptable. I have filled out the form at https://www.complycube.com/. The next step is to file complaints with the California Department of Consumer Affairs and my credit card company. You are not allowed to do that here." Here's the full post: Consumer privacy protection complaint re VocoFlex So, my decision to wait has been significantly reinforced.

Guest Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Does this have any bearing on Synth V Pro and the voice packs? They don't go through this trouble do they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think it only applies when you buy Vocoflex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude77 Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I read the thread that the OP links to in his post. Gee, Vocoflex's request for ID'ing users seems reasonable to me. I don't have any problem sending a copy of my passport and driver's license to people I don't know. I think I'll include my social security number for good measure. Oh, my goodness! 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with Vocoflex is that it's a voice-morphing tool - it's technically possible to do bad things with it. As the outputs are (supposedly) watermarked, Dreamtonics could trace unethical usage back to the original purchaser when combined with KYC (i.e. the additional documentation). With their other products, the vocal characteristics aren't as malleable and so there's much less risk of malicious usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
