Nice.
Preordered. Can’t wait to play with it.
I preordered when it was still $24.99 . Oh well 🤷🏻♂️
If only you’d continued reading ...
LOL oh my ! I feel 🙈
Thanks for pointing this out to me 🙏
No worries I do it all the time
Looking forward to seeing it on a watch! But also on Apple TV and Mac all for one low low price......
Lands tomorrow. Excited!
Excited too. Can’t wait to try t his.
And it's live! Absolute shedload of new drone templates and TTS is a new level of madness.
Wow. Just finished playing for the first round. It is amazing!
(wrong thread)
I’m completely new to this app. Can someone please recommend sources to help figure out what is it and what can be done with it?
The best source IMO is the user guide / documentation on the website but the main document seems to be missing right now . That’s quite strange.. hope devs fix this soon.
It's just the link at the top of the page that's broken; there's a note on the website this morning that the v21 user guide will be "another day or two", but actually it's already there at https://intermorphic.com/wotja/21/guide/ – I've notified them of the broken link.
If you're coming to the app for the first time, start with the Flow tab. Each of those icons is an instant-gratification generative radio "channel" called a Scheme; tap one and it'll play a series of pieces composed on the fly in a particular style. (Use the fast-forward button in the toolbar to skip to a new one manually.) When you hear something you like, use the menu off the share icon in the toolbar to save it to a Mix; close the current piece (windowpane icon at top left) and switch to the Mixes tab, where you can tap on the individual piece (you may need first to hit Refresh off the share icon at top left to see the one you've just saved) to open the rabbit-hole and peer down inside, using the busy but very helpful interactive map at https://intermorphic.com/wotja/21/guide/#mix-music. It's a very complex and deep app, but the auto-generation features cleverly hide all that from you till you want to go there.
Had a gift card for Christmas and like droneo style apps so took a punt on this.
Just a warning it defaults u audio engine to 48Khz inline with newer devices so was getting crackles on the sound at first using it as IAA but changed the setting to 44.1Khz and all is now good on my older iPad Pro 9.7. Shame it’s not AU now but it’s fun sending drones into Gauss to get it into a AU mix.
Question it mentioned that you get the Mac version for free. Is that for all users or just owners of the new M1 Mac devices as it mentions ARM devices. Can you download iPad OS apps onto there systems ?.
How do you get the free Mac versions of Wotja Pro for older devices ?
I just went to my list of purchases in the desktop App Store and there it was waiting, after I'd preordered on iOS. (I'm still on Mojave; everything works except speech, which requires Catalina or Big Sur.)
I don't have a Silicon Mac yet, but there are a couple of threads on running iOS apps on M1 devices here and here.
Ok that's sweet thanks for the info.
They've now fixed the broken link.
@0tolerance4silence also, you can check https://intermorphic.com/learn/ . Intermorphic also say on their website that they will starting working on new videos in the next few weeks.
As others have said, it's worth finding a Mix that you like, saving it as a MIX file, then editing it, and poking around.
It's such a deep app that even after a few concerted efforts to get my head round it, some of its workings, its vocabulary and conceptual framewoek are still quite mysterious. However, other aspects make more sense to anyone who has a basic knowledge of synthesis. I found the manual does have a lot of helpful information, but it does take some digging around to find it.
One way in is to just work with a Mix, mute all tracks except one, and then tinker around with that to see what the changes do. That reduces the number of variables to work with. And focus on one aspect of the Mix, read the manual on it, and try to understand what it is doing. I'm still doing this with individual sections in the Mix editing menus.
I'm still kind of a beginner, but I have picked up some key things, so do ask questions here and we'll do our best to get you going
@craftycurate @Masanga @god
Thanks for all suggestions. It will take some time to wrap my head around it, but the online guide is really helpful. 👍
Is the TTS a actual module how do access it? Do any of the templates show it?
I was trying to access it yesterday but couldn't find it or how to use it in this deeper than deep app?
Wotja is the gift that keeps on giving. And it's so deep. I love apps that have steep learning curves, with many features and things you can tweak and play with, like this, Drambo LayR and SunVox. They all have so much power.
Yes, it's a bit tucked-away and the documentation hasn't caught up with it yet. The TTS features are available to set (separately) both in individual Mixes and in the Randomization settings.
In a Mix, you access it via the spanner icon at the right-hand end of the top toolbar in the Text view (second icon along at the bottom of the screen). This takes you to a page called Text & Speech Properties, and the second section down has a Speech Enabled checkbox, and the section below that a set of options that allow the selection of an individual voice (default is Samantha, US English; Martha is a solid choice for UK English) or a random voice optionally filtered according to the criteria of native language and gender. The Allow Regional Variations? checkbox will randomly choose between voices with different accents in that language which can be further filtered by gender. There's a bug/feature that one of the male UK English voices shares a name with one of the French voices (Daniel), so if you have one of those selected it will alternate randomly with the other; the only workaround seems to be to choose UK English and filter by gender, which will alternate randomly between the two male UK English voices Daniel and Arthur.
The bottom section lets you set speech volume, pitch, and speed (fixed or within a range), and right at the bottom is an option to switch between normal speech and two weirder modes optimistically titled Sing and Chant. I haven't found a use for these yet, but they may have amusement value. You'll probably also want to play with the options in the top section for how often the text changes and what it uses for source material (which draws on what you've set and entered in the other text views, which are one of the least intuitive features and have changed significantly in this version in ways I'm still getting my head around).
A version of most of these options is also available in the Randomization tab under the gearwheel at top right. This is where you set the global options for auto-generated Mixes in the currently selected Flow, as opposed to in an existing Mix.
Brilliant thanks very much @Masanga for that detailed way of finding TTS. Will give it a go this afternoon.👍
@Masanga Well I found all the settings changed the voices to male etc but can’t seem to get it off the Samatha default setting even after saving the scheme. There is probably something I haven’t ticked?
Hmm, working for me; what happens if you start a Flow playing and then in the Randomization tab:
1. switch from Samantha to Random;
2. set Automatic Text Change to At Mix Start;
3. hit OK at top left
– and then hit the fast-forward icon? (This should start a new randomly-generated piece from the flow with a randomly-chosen voice.)
I've just found that if you have a multi-line text with the voice set to Random, the different lines will be spoken in different voices. I like this effect.
@Masanga
Yes that works getting my head around it slowly, thanks again.
