22.9.1
2022-09-07
FIXED: AU3 issue where on stopping the AU3 host app, the Wotja AU3 might generate unwanted noise.
FIXED: Issue where when using AU3 in a clean install, the Wotja AU3 did not display an alert allowing selection of Local / iCloud operation; this meant that in such cases, iCloud documents could not be seen by the AU3.

22.5.0
2022-05-21
Thank you for using Wotja! This is a big update - enjoy!
NEW: Plug-in Scanner screen "Block" button that opens a "Select Plug-ins to Scan / Block" screen where you can more easily manage which plug-ins you want scanned and where the ones in the "Blocked" list aren't scanned; Plug-ins that fail to scan are put in the Block list automatically.
NEW: Wotja Pak "pak.xml" file now allows the overriding of individual audio sample settings using file-specific override values rather than sample-specific xml files; it supports use of "?" in the pak.xml, at top level or for a file override, which means don't pitch-shift / time-stretch as appropriate; it allows the "file" attribute to reference sub-folder path - the foregoing changes mean it is now *much* *much* *much* easier to create an audio sample Pak!
NEW: All Audio Sample Wotja Paks have been updated for V22.5 to take advantage of the changes above, so please re-download if you use them.
NEW: "Edit Mix FX..." and "Edit Track FX..." menu options in the Cell Actions menu for a Cell containing an audio sample provide a way to use FX on audio samples.
IMPROVED: Reworked the "Pak Maker" information and incorporated it into a new section of the Wotja User Guide (which is also available in-app).
IMPROVED: Added support for 32-bit floating point WAV sample data.
IMPROVED: Sorting the LHS panel of the template browser for mounted zip files (e.g. Paks).
IMPROVED: Intermorphic Wotja Paks now use the path "intermorphic/wotja/paks/mypak".
FIXED: MIDI file recording issues in multi-cell use case.
FIXED: Issue where mono audio files (wav/ogg) weren't imported properly.
FIXED: If audio loop missing, display cell as red.
FIXED: Rare issue handling Scale Rules.
FIXED: Rare crash when editing FXM network and selecting FX unit for deletion.
FIXED: Opening of old .mixtikl files (from 2008).

22.4.1 - fixes some bugs that were in 22.4.0
Changes in 22.4.0:
Thank you for using Wotja! This is a big update - enjoy!
NEW: Text mode LHS line numbers - These are now buttons that randomize the text (cut-up) on that specific line only; Current cut-up rule is used and Word locks are respected.
NEW: Text-to-Music Generator Randomize (dice) toolbar button - Tap this button to randomize TTM text according to the TTM Cut-Up Rule option selected, i.e. a specific cut-up *line* (see above), the entire cut-up or custom text; means you no longer have to exit to Text mode to change cut-up!
NEW: Mix Cell names - These can now be edited/customised rather than being deriving from the last loaded template name (still the default behaviour).
NEW: TTM Action menu "Rule Editor" item - Allows in situ change of Cut-up Rule.
IMPROVED: "Rule Element Flashing" is now better implemented and decays automatically; elements are colourised by triggering Generator type.
