Jun 22, 2023
Version 23.7.0
NEW: Schemas are now saved to a new "Wotja URL" (text string) format which starts with "wotja://schema_" (loading of the old format is still supported); this now makes this Wotja filetype easy to share via emails, web files and even to webplay via the Safari Extension (see https://wotja.com/music/#share).
NEW: Schema Editor > Actions Menu and item to export the Schema to Clipboard as a WJURL.
IMPROVED: Changed Mix Recorder to "cook" in a background thread, rather than in the main UI thread, this speeding-up the "cooking" process.

IMPROVED: Text Entry and Cancel button behaviour.
FIXED: Issue where some values were not correctly initialised for very old Schemas.
FIXED: Albums/Playlists could keep playing for a while on album/playlist close.

FIXED: Crash on opening the built-in Calm/Relax albums.
FIXED: Rare crash seen on opening mix document via File Browser.
OTHER: Minor bug fixes.

version 22.0.0
posted on 2022-01-01
Jan 1, 2022 Version 22.0.0
Wotja 22 is the version of Wotja for 2022. It has a host of new features, improvements and bug fixes. Some of the big new things are noted below (see our website for full release notes).
MAJOR NEW FEATURE: Hosted AUv3 Plug-ins - Wotja is now a generative music DAW!
- The Wotja App (but not Wotja Plug-in) for iOS and macOS now supports hosting of 3rd party AUv3 Instrument/Synth & FX Plug-ins
- Plug-in Hosting is accessed via a new "Plug-ins" tab in Mix mode
- Wotja mixes still work even without using Hosted Plug-ins and Plug-in Hosting information is saved to the mix file when it is saved (and those mixes can also be used in Boxes/Albums)
- There are 6 "Plug-in Chains" each comprising an instrument selector (for either Wotja Output or a plug-in Instrument), 3 "FX slots" and an output level slider plus one Master FX with 4 "FX slots" and final slider
- Multiple independent Wotja track filtering can be used when the instrument is Wotja Output
- Powerful MIDI Channel filtering can be deployed on the Wotja MIDI routed to an instrument plug-in
- Plug-in scanning "just works"
- Plug-in UIs can be displayed in the Hosting window area (default) or in pop-up windows”
MAJOR NEW FEATURE: Generator Type "Sequence" with sub-type "Euclidian"
- What were called "Pattern" and "Text to Music" (TTM) Generators are now Generator sub-types in a new "Sequence" Generator
- This change was made to allow us to add a new "Euclidian" Generator sub-type (below) and also to add powerful new properties to the TTM Generator sub-type: "After Tune Repeats", "Rhythm Strategy" and "Duration Multiplier"
- Sequence Generators support an Array of Items ("Sequence Array" and "Sequence Array Items")
- Each Item (and there can be several) comprises the data required by the Generator sub-type for it to generate when active; Items can themselves be sequenced or selected at random
- The colour of the Sequence Generator is that of the active Item (i.e. Generator sub-type)
- Mix Generator networks will still look largely the same as before as "Pattern B" and "TTM" colours have remained the same, but the less used "Pattern R" and "Pattern F" have a different colour; Euclidian has a new colour of course!
- Unlike other Sequence Generator sub-types, Euclidians don't auto-pad out to the end of the bar
- Euclidians have 'classic' Euclidean properties but we've also added "Range" settings to make them more interesting
- Euclidian properties include: "Steps", "Steps Range", "Fills", "Fills Range", "Rotation", "Rotation Range", "Repeats", "Repeats Range", "Pitch", "Pitch Range", "Duration", "Rhythm Strategy" and "Pitch Strategy"
MAJOR NEW FEATURE: Wotja App Extensions for iOS and macOS Safari
- Wotja files can be embedded in a webpage as a Wotja URL ("WJURL")
- The Wotja App Extension allows the Wotja App to play the WJURL when a webpage that includes a WJURL is loaded by Safari
- For this to work you must have the Wotja App running in the background and Wotja App Extension enabled with appropriate website permissions
- A WJURL includes Plug-in Hosting information, meaning the WJURL can play the same for someone who already has those same plug-ins installed on their device - exciting!!
