About Cantai

Welcome to Cantai, where technology meets artistry. Our mission is to revolutionize the way music is composed and experienced by leveraging the power of artificial intelligence.

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. Unlike samplers that stitch pre-recorded clips together, Cantai generates entirely new performances, tailored to each piece of music. 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 can instantly hear their music sung—exactly as they envisioned it. This isn’t just a preview or approximation; it’s their music brought to life in a way that’s never been possible before. I've been composing since I was ten (in 1981) and have always been frustrated by the barriers between composers and their own music. While samplers revolutionized orchestral music, there was no equivalent for vocals—until cantai. Leveraging cutting-edge AI technology, cantai makes this a reality. When, while knee-deep in developing cantai, I reached the milestone of loading a composition into Sibelius and hearing it sung by a full choir with soloists—in under ten minutes. If I'd had that at ten, I can't imagine what I might have created. Now, my goal is to bring this breakthrough to composers everywhere, young and old, who dream of hearing their music truly sung.
