CANTOR 2 requires a Syncrosoft key/dongle. You can use the Syncrosoft dongle which comes with some of the products from Steinberg, Arturia, Korg, etc. or you can purchase one.

The human voice is the most sophisticated and versatile instrument used in musical expression. With CANTOR an exciting new era of realtime vocal synthesis begins right now ! Imaging entering your lyrics in plain english and then “sing” your lyrics instantly just by playing the melody on your MIDI Keyboard. Add realistic expression with realtime parameters controlling vibrato rate and depth or changing the character of the singing voice from female to male !

But CANTOR even goes beyond creating realistic “human” singers.
Many parameters have no relation to human vocals like “Metallize” which turns your virtual singer more into a singing Gong.

The voice editor allows you to edit the character of your virtual singer by defining the base spectrum for vowels and consonants. For those of you ever wanting to create your own alien language the Phoneme editor gives you full access to the atoms of the
vocal synthesis engine. With this editor you can define the formant structure and the noise characteristic of each phoneme used by the vocal engine.
