ARA3 and vocal synthesis?

Hello,

I noticed there is an upcoming talk about an ARA 3 Preview at ADC 2025 ( Sneak Peak at ARA 3.0 - Audio Developer Conference )

It mentions “a lot of interest has sparked recently to extend ARA to also support audio generators that operate on abstract musical input. Example applications include singing voice synthesizers”

I was wondering if Dorico/Steinberg is also involved in working on ARA3? (To help shape it?)

There is a fair bit of interest on using vocal synthesizers inside Dorico on the forum and even though we all would like to have it working “now” I can imagine that something like ARA3 might be needed to get the “vocal synthesizer” industry in the right direction to have a unified solution. Some standard way of doing this kind of thing that hosts and plugins just implement once (instead of building custom logic for different plugins)

IIRC Cubase supports ARA, so one can hope it will be possible at some point in Dorico.
