What's new in each Cantai installer release.
v3.0.0
Unified
July 1, 2026
Two tracks, now one — a single installer for both Dorico and Sibelius, on macOS and Windows.
macOS
Windows
- One installer for everyone — Dorico and Sibelius now ship in a single installer.
- Added Spanish lyrics support, with a language selector right on the main screen.
- Added the Ottetto ensembles — ready-made choral groups: Sopranos, Altos, Tenors, Basses, Women's Voices, Men's Voices, and Full Ensemble.
- Added six new solo voices: Eric, Sergey, Aggie, Rachel, Leah, and Jesse.
- Refreshed the plugin interface to match the new Cantai look, with Reverb and Voices controls on the main screen.
- Reverb settings are now remembered per stave in Sibelius.
- Fixed smaller issues: voice changes arriving too early, a newly added track not rendering, and the Settings button occasionally not responding.
- Corrected pronunciation of 'into', 'this', 'Mar', and 'the' in sung lyrics.
- Sibelius: voices now load reliably even when a voice is selected before the list finishes loading.
- Sibelius: fixed a crash that could occur during automatic rendering.
- Sibelius: an outdated version now shows a dismissible warning instead of blocking rendering.
- Solo voices now use a subtler, warmer hall reverb.
