Wotja 5 Generative Suite - Music Authoring Tools Now Cross Platform
Generative Music Authoring Comes to Windows and Android Versions of Wotja X
April 11th 2018, UK: Intermorphic Ltd today releases Wotja 5.3, the Generative Music System for macOS®, Windows®, iOS® and Android®. All Wotja X versions and variants now include the Generative Music editing capabilities of Noatikl and Mixtikl, and more.
Wotja X V5.3 now includes the complete set of editors for the powerful generative music engine (IME) and sound design engine (ISE). These editors were previously only available in the iOS/macOS versions (AKA 'Wotja A'). Wotja X is the new cross-platform UI for Wotja and this release means Wotja X and Wotja for iOS/macOS now have equivalent generative music authoring capabilities.

Tim Cole and Pete Cole, the Intermorphic founders and brother team said “This release is the culmination of a huge amount of effort by us over the last 6 months or more and means we can finally start to see the day when Wotja X (macOS, Windows, iOS, Android) will be on par with Wotja (macOS, iOS). We hope that past users of our Noatikl and Mixtikl for Windows and/or Android apps can now see a road ahead for content they have created in the past and hopefully wish to create more of in the future!”

About Intermorphic (press contact):
Intermorphic Ltd was co-founded in 2007 by Tim Cole and Pete Cole. It develops music creativity & relaxation ("creative relaxation") apps that use generative, text-to-music & cut-up techniques.
The Cole brothers ("the Coles") have a history in music software innovation: they co-founded SSEYO in 1990 and from then to 2001 they created and worked on the BAFTA Award-winning "SSEYO Koan Interactivity Platform" which included the "Generative Music" engine used by Brian Eno for his seminal 1996 "Generative Music 1". SSEYO Koan software was available for Windows, Mac and Windows Mobile and in a range of variants from Standalone to Audio Plugin to Web Browser Plugin.
Following Tao Group's acquisition of SSEYO in 2001, the Coles created the intent Sound System (iSS) and BAFTA Award-winning "SSEYO miniMIXA", one of the world's first mobile music mixers. In 2007 it released both "Noatikl: Generative Music Composer" (the evolution to SSEYO Koan) and "Liptikl: Cut-Up Text Writer". In Q2 2008 Intermorphic secured the IP rights to the iSS and SSEYO software and in December 2008 released "Mixtikl: Generative Music Mixer" followed in 2012 by "Tiklbox: Generative Music Player".
After many years of updates to the forgoing apps and after much deliberation on the next step forward for Generative Music, the Coles decided that it was "Reflective Music". And so in 2014 along came the first of the releases of the "Wotja®: Generative Music System", an all-in-one 'Creator, Mixer, Lab & Player'. By 2017 the key authoring capabilities of Noatikl, Mixtikl and Liptikl had been fully consolidated into Wotja for iOS and macOS, including the playlisting of Tiklbox.
February 2018 saw the first release of "Wotja X", a cross-platform UI variant that finally allowed Wotja to be available for all of Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. By 2019 this had become the cornerstone of all further Wotja apps, including the Wotja interface for TV. In 2021 Wotja for iOS/macOS became a single App ID and an AUv3 Audio Unit Plug-in was added, as well as support for Apple silicon.
In 2022 support for AUv3/VST3 Plug-in Hosting was added and a Wotja VST3 Plug-in was created in addition to a new "Euclidian" Generator Type. Ever since its first release Wotja and its WME (Music), WAE (Audio), WSE (Script) and WTE (Text) engines have continued to be extended with many new features and improvements.
