Ratings and reviews

Very cool, though somewhat intimidating. I'm impressed but the Pro version is priced too high for me and the Lite version is too restrictive. My only other complaint is that I don't understand why generative music would be licensed for personal use only. I can see why the software used would need to be credited, but the music itself should be usable as a Youtube soundtrack, for example. Just my two cents.

Wotja is an (almost) superb tool to create generative music *or* just to use it as an endless music player for that matter just a couple of mouse clicks away. The developers (two brothers) are very responsive to questions and suggestions (multiple of my suggestions have been picked up by the team and implemented in newer versions!). The cons: the GUI and workflow could use some improvements and I miss the most obvious hotkeys but apart from that: excellent!

Powerful, but oh so complex! The user manual is almost incomprehensible, poorly written and organised. A new user needs a gentle introduction to this kind of complexity. Only a determined non-professional muso would persevere in the masochism of trying to learn this product from the manual! The free "lite" version is far too limited for any meaningful exploration, so I still don't know whether it's worth paying for.

What's new

IMPROVED: Lite mode - Removed all Mix file locks; 'Pro mode only' limitations removed from several features (e.g. Script Editing, Import/Export etc.); auto-timeouts removed on two included Albums (Calm & Relax) - enjoy!
CHANGED: Wotja App icon no longer refers to version number (as all updates are now free).
