Important Notes - Using the system default engine allows playback of DRM-protected and online music, but some features will be restricted. By default, the system engine is disabled. - Changing the playback speed, changing the pitch, using the equalizer, or MIDI file playback will increase battery consumption. - Settings cannot be fully restored from backups, and exporting playlists to other devices is not supported. I recommend that you use the system music app's playlists. This app and its description contain automatically generated text. This app does not contain any songs.

MTVP

Read full description

MTVP is a MIDI-controlled video player with a timecode display for music composing and scoring. I had a very simple need: Use my synth/sequencer to control playback of :30/:60/:90 second social media videos on my iPhone, with a timecode display, for scoring music. Existing apps are heavy, had a ton of features I didn't want or need, and were all overkill for this simple task. I just wanted to control a video via PLAY/STOP/CONTINUE sent from my synth/sequencer, and see a timecode to understand timing. MTVP does this simply and easily, because that's all it does. Features: - Responds to MIDI system transport messages: play, stop, and continue (with SPP) - Supports MIDI CC control of start/stop/continue via custom configuration - Timecode display - Auto BPM detection from MIDI clock - Hybrid clock sync (timecode corrects to MIDI clock every beat) - Use app with a saved video or no video - Loads video files locally. Takes a bit longer to load, but no privacy concerns and works even without an internet connection. - Mute video audio - Mute toggle, On, and Off available as custom CC mapping for hardware control - Bluetooth support - Auto/Light/Dark appearances - MIDI connection selection, memory, and state detection - Connect directly via cable or use a Mac as a wireless MIDI hub - Supports Apple Shortcuts - Works on Apple Silicon Macs, too! - Works with any MIDI-compatible DAW, sequencer, or software Configuration: - Tap on the TIMECODE to configure preferences
