Cantai: singing your Dorico files. Some results

Dorico
21

I find that extremely creepy - for me maybe it’s an uncanny valley.

I get the same impression sometimes with Nina Simone - there’s something not right, not normal to my ears (this is a very personal opinion of course).

The trouble for me is it shuttles between uncanny valley and unintentionally hilarious with nausea-inducing frequency.

As I work strictly in pop music and theater, I wish there was some way to incorporate Synth V into it. That’d probably kick some azz.

You know that SynthV works great with Dorico? It will sync along with the score, but you’ll have to enter the lyrics yourself.

The big dream with software such as Cantai is the convenience of pressing play and hearing your score sung back to you. :wink:

Just an update … Dorico is still NOT exporting XML correctly and my solution is still to ….

  1. Compose in Dorico

  2. Export to XML from Dorico

  3. Open XML file in MuseScore (after clicking OUT of all the ADs … whoops, I mean, MuseHub “helper”!)

  4. Export XML file from MuseScore

  5. Render to Cantai online or AceStudio.

Dorico is not exporting XML correctly. Words (in Latin in my case) are not being recognized/sung correctly in Cantai or AceStudio. I can fix it (line by excruciating line) in the AceStudio MIDI editor … Cantai in its current form can NOT be edited/fixed. Exporting Dorico’s XLM export to MuseScore is the only fix.

Fix please! :slight_smile:

As from MSS v4.6, you can opt-out: Preferences>Advanced>Show occasional Musehub promotions. (agree, this should be an opt-in instead of a hidden opt-out)
