On the subject on things to nick, below is an example of how to use one of the more weird models in the MO2 generator.
Model 7 - Voice and speech synthesis - takes a bit of explaining if you want to use it in the way it was intended. It's not a particularly well documented aspect of the original Plaits firmware.
Essentially, it's like a wavetable. Imagine there are various tables of formants, phonemes and phrases laid out in a line.
The HARM parameter moves through these incrementally, so you can use it to select which audio collection you want to use.
TIMBRE adjusts the formant frequencies. Human formant frequencies vary by age, gender and pitch amongst other things. So you can flex those here.
MORPH is the tricky one. It's similar to HARM, in that its position decides which bit of audio is active. But this time it's confined to using the audio collection selected by HARM.
Static, it's not very interesting. But once you modulate it, things start to happen. As you move this parameter it scans through the table selected by HARM. And that makes it start to talk.
The speed of modulation dictates (ha!) the rate of the speech. The level of modulation determines how much of the current table is scanned. And the Morph slider sets the start point for the scan.
It's tricky, and takes a lot of fiddling around to get it to play nicely. You are also stuck with the built in audio collections. You can't do text to speech with it. But it is quite fun once you have it up and running.
Amongst the audio tables I've found in there are letters, numbers, the NATO alphabet and various phrase collections related to electronics and synthesisers.
Anyway, mess around with the attached and see what you find. If you are looking at the synth definition, the HARM parameter will change the active audio collection. Which might produce gibberish or something more intelligible. With the Morph parameter, the Ctrl-env is governing the rate of the speech. Shorter times will speed up the scan and make the talk faster. The Ctrl-lfo is adding a random offset on each new note on to change the start point for the morph scan so we can hop around inside the currently active table. You'll notice that it doesn't always land on the start of a phrase
@impete hi! I was able to get the 24 pro feature set to restore on tvOS app. All I did was remove the app and reinstall it with the account I bought it. It seems the OS does not make out the restore function from the owner apple ID account but rather from the account currently selected on the OS. Anyway, problem seems to have been solved.
Hi! Aha - I didn't actually think of that. Many thanks for letting us know. @imtim don't forget to add to the FAQ
Best wishes, Pete
We don't use analytics, so I don't really know.
That said, we have a load of Wotja users that totally rely on having a plug-in version of Wotja available, and many who stick to the standalone app. And many who use both, depending on the context they're working in
The fact is, some people love using their favourite host DAW (e.g. AudioBus, AUM, Logic, Cakewalk) etc, and they use Wotja in the context of both that DAW and their suite of other plug-ins. As you can imagine, many people love using their carefully curated suite of audio plug-ins (FX, Instruments).
And of course, some people are happy to use Wotja as a standalone system (after all, it has a pretty powerful audio engine!).
And others just mix-and-match!
Best wishes, Pete
Pete! There is now another problem !! Worse! If I start the app with the owner account the app works fine but if I close the app manually, and then start it with the non-owner account, the last selected schema is always played. For example if I start the app with owner account, select “24 only arps” schema, close the app, switch to non-owner Apple ID account, and then relaunch Wotja, the 24 arps schema is always played no matter which schema I select! Is this by-design?
Well then. That is plain weird. I really haven't a clue why that might be off-hand. Gosh, things are complex sometimes.
Best wishes, Pete
They are! It might be by-design though.. after all, Wotja works fine for the owner Apple ID account. It’s just weird implementation of multi-user by Apple on tvOS that the app is shown and can be launched by the non-owner account like this. It doesn’t really happen on most other apps on the platform.. I know some apps do distinguish between current logged-in Apple ID account but a lot don’t and behave the same for all Apple ID accounts registered on the device. I’m not sure now whether this behavior was the same in the older Wotja app iterations.
-I am running Wotja inside AUM and Logic on ios, works fine most of the time. cheers, t
Hi audio block size i seems to not get saved- always resets to 512 (default? Manual says it should be 1024). I run Wotja on old device iPhone 8+ I had crackling on the 24 Flows (specifically the piano was very bad) I already pushed sample rate to 44100, block count to higher values and it helped but block size won’t budge
I subscribe but my app has reverted to Lite rather than Pro, and i keep getting this message when i try to restore via the shopping trolley icon….despite being connected to internet. Anyone know any solution for this?
Cc: @impete @imtim
Hi Drew! My best guess would that you might need to go to your iPhone's Settings screen, log-out from your App Store account, and log back in again. And then restart Wotja. If that doesn't work, I'd suggest restarting your phone and seeing what happens.
Best wishes, Pete
Hi! Is that issue in the plug-in, or in the app (or both?!)..?
Best wishes, Pete
Hi Pete,
havent checked on plugin, just app. Reproduced easily actually. Just.. start new empty project, change to any value other than 512, leave, go back, value is 512.
OK, thanks. I'll try to look at this today. We're very deep into getting the next release ready - it has been a shed-ton of work!
Best wishes, Pete
Thank you!
OK, I've found and fixed this. It was something I'd put in place to ensure that audio break-up didn't occur when using the Wotja App with Apple's AirPod Pro Max headphones, which only work with 512 sample block size for reasons best known to Apple.
The next update will allow you to change to 1024 if you want!
Best wishes, Pete
Wow, That was fast! Thanks, Pete! The more the merrier for me (as I’m using on old device). Thank you !
Happy to help! Sorry it took a while to look at, but there is a lot on at Intermorphic Towers...
Pete
Just FYI: the value will be reset to 512 when you restart the app after applying the update. From that point, you can set back to (say) 1024 to suit the needs of your device.
Best wishes, Pete
That’s great! Hopefully this will help with the higher CPU requirement mixes and clear some of the arrifacts
I hope so! I actually designed and created the core audio engine to be able to work mobile devices of various performance levels, so that has been at the core of our software ever since. Was at least 20 years ago!

That worked, thanks mate!
Phew
I wish all support questions were that easy!

Unexpected file format in the bagging area. Sorry

Take 2:
The start of March is the anniversary of the first release of Music of Airports (1978), a huge if unsurprising influence on me and my music. So, by way of celebration, I thought I'd make a Wotja homage to that seminal work, emulating the techniques that Eno deployed in the creation of the majority of that album.
MfA was mostly created using long, asynchronous tape loops of different lengths. As they were played back, their phase relationships shifted constantly so the audio printed to them combined in different ways at different times producing outcomes that were not wholly predictable and seldom repeated - repetition as a form of change.
So what I did in this mix was record several, simple piano figures and assigned each of them to their own ambient voice generator. Instead of looping long pieces of tape around mic stands placed about the studio, I used the ambient voice parameters to trigger each loop once and then follow that event with a randomly variable period of silence. Meaning the piano figures combine in a similar way to those in the original 1:1 track but without the housekeeping issues.
As a mix file it's a bit porky due to the amount of audio data included. It works ok on the devices I have for testing here but it's possible that older mobile devices might not have enough memory to decompress all the audio.
I've attached two versions. One is the full mix file so you can see what I've been doing and why. But I've also included the mix file in album format. If you are running Wotja in trial/lite mode use this version as albums have a longer run time than mix files in that mode and the one thing this mix needs is enough time to do its thing.
Happy Anniversary!
Nice one Mark, and thanks for sharing that!
Great track! Respect! Plays well on Macbook pro, iPad pro for some reason not getting it right.
Would be glad if you post more of your creative Wotja music.
