20.1.4
Jan 23, 2020
FIXED: Allow mixes to work where a Cell's underlying Template has been deleted or is no longer available (for example, a user saved Template [.noatikl file]); All Cells include all Template data, edited/amended as relevant, and Cells with missing Templates no longer appear as empty or display a Red bar but instead the Cell Info File Path field has ” (MISSING)” appended to the end; NB: Cells with missing WAV/MIDI files still display a Red bar
IMPROVED: Display of text for Mix content cells and IME Voice cells where the
text was always single line and was scaled to fit (and so could be unreadable) is now multi-line, word-wrapped on spaces, centered and scaled to fit
IMPROVED: Display of text on small screens better as the IME parameter group name is now multiline so the whole name is visible, and Synth/MIDI/FX cells have better text sizing
IMPROVED: File Path display in Cell Info:
- Always shows full file path, rather than just "-" for files without "parent" folder
- If the file path has a complex parent path that we think represents e.g. the iCloud folder
or the Wotja Folder, then we replace all of that with “[Wotja]/”
- If the app thinks the content is from a Pak, it prefixes the path with "[Pak]/"

- In Scripts you should now use the "Generator" object type name rather than the previous "Voice" nomenclature (though "Voice" is still supported)
IMPROVED: The following changes are auto-applied to any old scripts:
- Replace "Voice" with "Generator" in scripts
- Replace "Piece" with "Cell" in scripts
IMPROVED: Function renaming and other changes
- Refer to the IWS User Guide

20.0.0
Jan 1, 2020
LOTS OF NEW GOODNESS ARRIVES IN V20 (Yay!). Here is a selection (see our website for full list):
New IME 20 Feature: The V20 Wotja 'Pro' Feature Sets ('Pro S' and 'Pro 20') have no auto-timeout, this being a MAJOR change from V19 with its 8 hour auto-timeout; it means that Wotja with a 'Pro' Feature Set will now play either until you stop it or until a sleep timer kicks in - making it ideal as a background music generator for Personal or Commercial Live Use (see below)
New IME 20 Feature: A new Text-to-Music (TTM) 'Generator Type' makes it much easier to use TTM (it used to be a subset of the Patterns Type)
New IME 20 Feature: A new 'Cut-up Rule' parameter for TTM Generator with values of: Custom … (as current behaviour), Cut-Up: Line# = Track# (used in new automatic mixes), Cut-up: All lines, Cut-Up: Line# 1, Cut-Up: Line# 2 etc.
New IME 20 Feature: The new 'Cut-up Rule' parameter allows the text used for TTM to be linked to the (line numbered) cut-up in the Cup-Up screen, making TTM much easier to use - one tap of the Cut-up Create button can be used to auto-change the TTM text used for multiple TTM generators meaning that you can enjoy TTM without manual text editing (you can still do that if you really want to!)
New IME 20 Feature: When an automatic mix is created or when any Template is manually added to the mix from the Templates list then any B Patterns in such Templates used in the mix are now randomized with note pitches generated to fit the defined Pitch Range (see the 'Using Templates with Patterns' section in our website Recording Rights & Copyright FAQ)
New ISE 20 Feature: Improved use of Random in LFO and Osc units makes it possible to create much better drones
New ITE 20 Feature: New Mix Rule Group "Automatic New Cut-Up" containing new "At Mix Start" and "Change After Seconds" toggles and new slider parameter "Seconds Between" and "Seconds Between Range" making it fast/easy to create a new text cut-up in any screen, also allowing a mix to auto-generate new melodies as it plays
New ITE 20 Feature: Many new Cut-up rules added to help with the new TTM capability above
New ITE 20 Feature: Cut-up and Automatic New Cut-up settings are now included in Randomization Schemes
New Templates: New 'BP20 Drones 1' pak featuring 21 gorgeous drones (some utilising the change to Random in LFO units)
New Sound Presets: New Drone Sounds Presets coming from the above pak
New Randomization Schemes: These take advantage of the new content and capabilities above
New and Improved: Updates to 'TTM1 Players' and 'TTM1 Players 2' plus new templates added to the latter
Improved: Better looking and more polished UI with many changes focused on improving ease of use
Improved: Access to Mix recording is now much easier to find having been moved to the bottom tab bar
Improved: 'Voices' are now referred to as 'Generators' to better reflect what they are - MIDI note generators
Improved: File sorting options for the User segment of the Documents screen
Improved: Action Menu options in the Template screen making to make it easier to select/deselect paks and templates
Improved: Alphabetical sorting for Saved Files in Template list
Improved: Sleep timer can now also be used with mixes
Better Business Model: Commercial Live Use is now licensed via C0 [new], C1 [a rename of the old Personal Long Play tier], C2 [a rename of the old Biz 1 Long Play tier] and C3 [new] Subscription tiers; as before, these easy to cancel Subscriptions can also be used as a 'tip jar' mechanism and we truly appreciate any fans who are generous enough to do that!

19.8.0
Aug 16, 2019
IMPROVED: 'Free Mode' - It took us a while, but we finally figured out how we could change it to allow *10 minutes* of mix editing play time (massively up from the previous 1 minute timeout!) and a full 10 mins of Flow/Album play time; the upshot is that many who use Free Mode may now no longer see a Timeout pop-up - Yay!
IMPROVED: Allow direct opening of Wotja files from Finder (Wotja needs to be installed of course!)
IMPROVED: In TTM Cell, make the default action “Random Words” (was: Shuffle Words)
IMPROVED: Added option to set Video Blob Colour to either None, Red, Green, Blue
FIXED: The app could crash when previewing an item and adding it to a cell
FIXED: More bugs and improved stability

NEW FEATURE: For those wanting to create videos of Wotja operation there is a new Settings screen option to enable/disable a “blob” overlay. This blob helps make UI interactions clearer.

IMPROVED: UI now displays a visible change when selecting buttons, including document items, Mix Cells and some other useful elements
IMPROVED: Desktop UI displays a mouse over highlight for most of the above items
FIXED: A small number of rare crashes

19.2.0
Mar 5, 2019
Big new feature for advanced users: Wotja Script
• All versions of Wotja now include an in-built Wotja Scripting engine based on ECMAScript (also known as JavaScript); it is inspired by, but is much more powerful than, the Noatikl scripting engine
• For apps that include support for Mix Editing there is a new Wotja Script Editor (Piece Scripts: Rules Panel > Scripting; Voice Scripts: Generator Editing Panel > Voice > Scripting); the editor supports syntax-colored code editing and a console window at the bottom lets you capture logs from your scripts
• Wotja Scripts can be included in templates and mixes; the IME engine event trigger scripts (start, bar change, stop, composed note, MIDI event etc.) allow control over the majority of IME properties for Piece, Voice and Rules as well as the setting of ISE Sound and FX Networks from the wide range of build-in presets
• Every Content Cell (Piece) can have Wotja Script and every Voice within a Content Cell can have Wotja Script; we've added many "Cookbook" examples to get you started!

Other things:
• New Feature: You can now import a Wotja or Noatikl file from the clipboard to create a new mix using the Document screen 'Add New' button (all) or the 'File > New' Menu (desktop)
• Improved: "Randomisation Presets" are now called "Randomisation Schemes"; “Music Mix (Automatic)” is now Mix (Automatic)”; "Export Wotja to Clipboard" is now "Export Mix to Clipboard"; "Export Wotja with Image" is now "Export Mix with Image"
• UI Improvement: Check boxes now filled with Green, rather than with Blue
• "Free Mode" Improvement: Mix Editing mode now allows exporting to clipboard of both Mixes and ISE Sound Networks
• Fixed: Mix Editing mode > Action menu > Export Wotja to clipboard no longer causes a crash
• Fixed: Mixdown recordings now made correctly when using Audio Block size of 2048
• Fixed: Other bug fixes

19.1.0
Feb 21, 2019
• New Feature: 'Macro Oscillator 1' unit, a port of the popular open-source sound generator from Mutable Instruments; this is a very powerful Tone Generator unit addition to the ISE and significantly increases its sonic capabilities
• New Feature: The free versions now allow saving/export of mixes and allow the making of up to 30 second audio/video mixdown recordings (e.g. for easy sharing on social media), a massive increase in the functionality available for FREE
• New Feature: The above change means that Wotja has now also become, in effect, a FREE cut-up text editor for creative writing, e.g. for lyrics, haiku, poems etc. Cool!
• New Feature(s): The ISE Network Editors (Sound, FX) both now include a dice button which allows, from two new Randomization Preset settings (Random Presets - Synth Presets and FX Presets), a Sound or FX preset to be chosen at random (if those are toggled on)
• New Included Content: New Macro Oscillator 1 sound presets (MO1-Leads), new TTM templates for use with sound presets (TTM1 Players 2) and a new Randomization Preset that uses those plus FX presets (TTM Default 2)
• New Feature: 'Auto Play on Document Open' toggle in Settings > General that allows mixes to auto-play or not on loading
• Improved: Desktop app now includes option to quit/exit without saving
• Improved: Mixdown recording lengths can now be specified in seconds or bars
• Improved: App stability & many further UI improvements
• Fixed: Squashed yet more bugs

5.11.0
Aug 10, 2018
New!
- To make it easier to change sounds/FX used in a mix we've added a 'Presets' button in the ISE Network Editor. This opens a Preset selector screen where you can select sound and FX presets (there are lots to choose from) and also save ones you have created or edited; it's easy to change the level of a preset, too; just change the level of the amp unit at the end of it

Improved

- Settings: renamed “Devices” to “Output Devices” and “Input Devices”
- Revised section header text colour in dark mode for better contrast
- Added Tuning Mode option to Settings (useful for external modular synths)

Fixed
- Removed potential sending of unnecessary cluster of Note Off events at app start, as this seems to resolve problems with some 3rd party MIDI devices which could crash
- DSynth Osc 1 and 2 Decay level sliders did not work properly
- Intermittent crash while editing junction inputs/parameters
- Issue where display didn’t update properly when deleting the last unit
- Other bug fixes

Aug 3, 2018
New!
- ISE Editor Panel in the ISE Network Editor makes it easier/faster to change ISE unit settings as there is less drill-down involved (if you want full screen ISE unit editing just tap/hold on unit and select "Edit Full Screen")

Improved
- Changing of TTM parameters/text no longer requires a mix restart to be applied meaning TTM is a lot more fun to play and experiment with!
- Reduced the table height of parameters so more of them can be seen on screen at the same time, meaning less scrolling

Fixed

- Performance improvements
- Other bug fixes
