Description

Cantai isn’t just another sound library—it’s a breakthrough in vocal synthesis. Powered by advanced machine learning and fully integrated into MuseScore Studio, Cantai not only captures the subtlety of real human singing, from delicate dynamics to expressive phrasing, but also sings your lyrics with clarity and emotion. Whether you’re writing an intimate solo aria, a soaring choral passage, or a dramatic operatic scene, Cantai delivers voices that sound authentic, expressive, and true to your score. Cantai is available through subscription and includes Solo Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass voices, as well as choir ensembles. Rendering is managed intelligently to ensure optimal performance and system availability. Usage Note: Local rendering used when CPU is fast enough (unlimited). Otherwise, Cantai includes up to 180 minutes of online rendering time per week, which resets every Monday. Because Cantai renders automatically as you write, your minutes can be used up quickly. Previously rendered sections will still play back even after the limit is reached. To conserve minutes, switch to manual rendering using the steps here: https://handbook.musescore.org/sound-and-playback/musesounds/online-sounds

Works pretty well, except it doesn't always interpret vowel sounds correctly, especially for words that have two meanings and pronunciation. It doesn't seem to understand the context. For example it read the word "lives", which I intended as a verb, as a noun. Vowels can be edited to add the phonetic symbol over the letter but that is a bit cumbersome.

Voice tones sound very bad, the intonation is not accurate at all.

This is certainty better than nothing but there's not enough here just yet. You can't change the ensemble size and this sounds like a vocaloid. That being said, it's early tech and is impressive to get on musescore of all things.

it works reasoanbly well, but it is missing more normal tenor and bass voices. A big issue is that every time even a small part is changed, the voice on the whole score is updated, and this is slow and only online. This makes it hard to use with bad internet.

I wanted to try this on a musical I am writing, but was sadly disappointed to see there was no classical tenor voice. I was also a bit disappointed there wasn't a more classically trained soprano. The choir voices are perfect, but they don't work in soloist settings. Overall, I really like the product, but it just needs more to be worth the price of admission.

If you want any type of classical sound these are AWFUL! Way too much scooping and wobbly vibrato. Solo Tenors - not one decent sound. Baritone only has one halfway good sound. The choir sounds are atrocious!

I highly appreciate how easily it generates very realistic vocals. I'm giving it a high rating to show my support for future development. I'll mention three points I'd like to see improved. First, I'd like the ability to control where breaths are placed. Currently, even if a breath mark is on the sheet music, it sings without pausing for breath regardless. It would be better if it either automatically pauses for breath or allows me to specify the breath position myself. Second, I'd like the ability to control singing techniques like vibrato depth. Especially when creating sources for early music, contemporary music, or educational purposes, excessive vibrato can be distracting. It would be good to specify singing techniques in addition to the singer. Third, regarding the unnatural timbre changes accompanying dynamic shifts. Currently, even when transitioning from fortissimo to pianissimo, the timbre remains unchanged—the sound simply gets quieter as if someone turned down a volume knob. This feels very unnatural and inhuman. I'd like the timbre and singing style to change naturally when dynamics shift. Overall, it feels like all options have been sacrificed for ease of use. Technically, I believe this is entirely feasible, so I look forward to future development.

Let me start with a summary by saying I'm glad I have this available, but there is a lot that could be improved. The simple fact that I can now hear my works with the words sung instead of choir "Ah"'s is wonderful. Having said that, the choir "Ahs" of MuseSounds are much more pleasing and choir sounding than the choir voices of Cantai. The Cantai "choir" reminds me of the background vocals from commercials or back from the crooner days, except not as good. Since my main medium is choral music, this is disappointing. It sounds like the choir is a collection of the solo voices, most of which are weak and very AI-ish (especially the male voices). Unless you are going for the untrained high school voice sound or a wanabe Karaoke sound, you don't hear "Choir" with these voices.. I would think you all would have the means to create the pleasing "As one voice" sound that the Musesound voices have. There are a few decent solo voices, which makes me wonder why the others are so weak. Most notable is the lack of a respectable tenor voice. Although less frequent than with ACE Studio, I have to re-spell some words in order for them to be pronounced correctly. Given the complexities of the English language, that is understandable.

Please increase the processing speed!!! I keep it on maual processing, otherwise it would drive me crazy. I like the realism of the voices, although alot of them are too stylized. There also need to be a true bass and alto, instead of just baritone and mezzo soprano.
