MIDI has been used to control synthesizers and sequencers for years. It's easy to use, and there are hundreds of inexpensive controllers. With MIDI Camera, Secret Base Design brings MIDI to iOS photography. Use a MIDI controller, foot pedal, or an app, to take photographs or record video. MIDI signals can be sent wirelessly, using either WiFi or Bluetooth, or using adapters with a camera connection kit. The precise timing available with MIDI makes it easy to synchronize multiple cameras, or to take carefully spaced photos for time lapse photography. Triggering camera photos and videos electronically can make stop-motion animation easier!

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: GyroOSC at Free against MIDI Camera's $0.99. MIDI Camera's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.6). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
