I have been both a fan of and a friend to the chaps at Intermorphic for a long time now. I still have a copy of one of the earliest versions of their generative app for Windows Mobile (remember that?), and I ended out 2016 with an interview with Tim Cole from Intermorphic, which is still worth a read).
Today they release the latest version of their all round generative music system, “Wotja”. This is version 5, and effectively is the consolidation and evolution of Noatikl, Mixtikl, Liptikl, Tiklbox & SSEYO Koan. So that’s a lot to like up to in a single app.
If you don’t know what Wotja is about, then have a read of this …
Create ideas for music, melodies, MIDI & lyrics… or one-press make beautiful ambient generative music albums for sleep & relaxation. Users say of this powerful & unique creativity system: “hands down the best generative software that I have ever used”, “Brilliant”, “Extremely musical”, “Deep and professional”, “best MIDI composition tool”, “Love Wotja!”.
There’s lots to explore, but you don’t need to be a musician or expert to use Wotja, the evolution of Noatikl, Mixtikl, Liptikl & SSEYO Koan. Anyone inquisitive can learn to master its power; see our video tutorials.

IMPORTANT
“Wotja 2018” is the ‘annual’ **non-subscription** version of “Wotja”. It has the same capabilities as Wotja with an active “Wotja Unlocked” In-App Subscription. It will be updated in tandem with Wotja during 2018 only. At the end of 2018 it will be removed from sale and no further updates will be made available for it – for further updates simply get a later annual version. [1]
Alternatively, get Wotja and purchase one of the In-App Subscription tiers. These are: “Wotja Unlocked” or, for extended Music Play Times, a range of “Wotja XT” tiers.
NOTES
[1] The annual version will likely continue to work just fine if you subsequently update the operating system on your device but if you find you require further updates, perhaps because of an operating system or 3rd party component update, or if you want to get and use the cool new features, content and capabilities as Wotja evolves, then simply purchase a later annual version (e.g. 2019).
