About Cantai

Cantai is not just another synthesizer; it's powered by advanced AI that learns the nuances of human singing, from subtle dynamics to expressive phrasing. Whether it's a solo aria, a complex choral arrangement, or a full-scale operatic production, Cantai faithfully reproduces the sound and emotion as envisioned by the composer.

Message from Cantai Founder, Composer Richard deCosta

For the first time, composers and arrangers have a way to instantly hear their music sung exactly as they envisioned it. With cantai, this isn't just a preview or an approximation—it's their music brought to life vocally, with a level of detail and realism that has never been possible before. Dynamic markings, phrasing, and expressive nuances like rubato and sotto voce are fully realized, giving composers a true sense of how their work will sound in performance.

As a composer since 1981, I've spent decades navigating the barriers that often stand between composers and their own music. While samplers and synthesizers have revolutionized how we create orchestral works, vocals remained elusive—a frustrating gap for anyone writing for the human voice. That's why cantai was born: to bridge that gap and finally make vocal music as accessible to composers as any other instrument.

I'll never forget the moment I reached a milestone during cantai's development. I loaded a composition into Sibelius, exported it, and within ten minutes, I heard it sung by a full choir with soloists. The precision, the balance, the emotion—it was all there, brought to life in ways I'd never experienced before. If this kind of technology had existed when I was just starting out, I can only imagine how it would have shaped my creative journey.

My goal now is simple: to bring this breakthrough to composers everywhere. Whether you're a seasoned professional or a young artist just beginning to write, cantai is here to remove the barriers, inspire creativity, and let you hear your music truly sung. From solo works to full choirs, cantai makes the impossible possible—and it's only the beginning.
