Here’s the challenge: translate Cantabile into another language in one afternoon. Challenge Accepted! In these early builds of Cantabile 3 I’m trying to address all the mundane tasks that often get left to the end and in the process turn into a lot of work. One such area
A few weeks ago I released a preview build of Cantabile 3. Since then I’ve received some great feedback. I’ve also released a some follow up builds to address the issues raised. I think it’s now stable — so what’s next? For Preview 2 I’ll be
Two weeks ago I posted about getting a minimal version of Cantabile 3 out. Yesterday the build went out and so far things have gone fairly well… If you’re a licensed user of Cantabile 2 Solo or Performer you should have received an email with instructions on how to

Over the last couple of days I’ve been working on adding support for FLAC files to Cantabile. It’s available in the latest experimental build, however please note: * It only supports 16 and 32 bit integer samples * I’ve only tested with 16 bit, 2 channel files * I haven’
Cantabile now has support for non-edge triggered MIDI Assignments. Prior to this build Cantabile required that controller assignments to commands be edge triggered. ie: their value transitions from a value less than 64 to a value greater than 64.
