Cantai News

We're thrilled to announce that our Kickstarter campaign has been successfully funded! After a nail-biting finish—being $6,000 short on the final day—a generous supporter came through and pushed us over our goal. This funding allows us to advance the VST from its current MVP stage to a full Beta release.

With this success, we're prioritizing the Windows build for the MuseScore plugin, expected very soon, followed by Dorico and Sibelius plugins. But that's not all—we're also excited to introduce two new voices to our lineup:

▶

Skadi - A versatile female pop vocalist with a clear, expressive tone perfect for emotional leads and catchy hooks. Her contemporary voice brings modern pop sensibility to your compositions, making her ideal for ballads and current pop styles.

▶

Bragi - A smooth male pop vocalist with warmth and clarity in his delivery. His balanced tone and expressive style make him perfect for modern pop ballads and melodic compositions requiring emotional authenticity.

Additionally, we're excited to announce that Latin language support is now being prioritized and will be implemented in the coming weeks!

Thank you to all our backers for making this possible—things are moving swiftly now!

We're almost ready to start the Cantai alpha for MuseScore, and the excitement is already building. This first VST plugin will bring Cantai's expressive, lifelike solo and choral voices directly into notation software — a huge step forward.

We don't have a build just yet, but we're getting everything in place: setting up testers, organizing feedback channels, and laying the groundwork for a smooth rollout.

This alpha phase is all about creating buzz, showcasing what's coming, and keeping our incredible community in the loop as we prepare to make history.

Thanks for being here at the start — we can't wait to show you what's next.

With gratitude,
Richard deCosta & The Cantai Team
