MIDI Pulse BPM Detecter vs MTVP

Ever wished your gear could just follow the music that's playing? MIDI Pulse BPM Detecter listens through the microphone, detects the BPM in real time, and keeps sending it to your equipment as MIDI Clock and Tap Tempo CC. Sync your delay pedals, arpeggiators, drum machines and loopers — no more frantically tapping along to the track. LISTENS AND DETECTS • Fully automatic beat detection from the microphone • Auto mode analyzes Low / Mid / High / Full frequency bands simultaneously and picks whichever hears the beat most clearly — kick-heavy tracks and hi-hat-driven grooves both lock in automatically • Or pin detection to a specific band: Kick, Snare, or Hi-Hat • Customizable detection range (60–200 BPM), 2x BPM mode for double-time output • One-tap manual tempo setting with tap tempo SEE WHAT IT HEARS • Beat markers on the live waveform show exactly where each beat was recognized • Optional detection envelope overlay reveals what the detector is actually analyzing • Flash lamp blinking in sync with the BPM • Real-time waveform and level meter MIDI OUTPUT • MIDI Clock transmission (24 PPQN) • Tap Tempo CC messages (customizable CC number and channel) • Bluetooth MIDI support — connect to your gear wirelessly • Auto-gain keeps detection stable even at low volumes (up to 30x) BUILT FOR THE STAGE • Settings save automatically and apply instantly • MIDI send / beat detection indicators • Pause and resume anytime In the DJ booth, at rehearsal, on stage: stop matching tempo by ear and let the phone in your pocket handle it.

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 Important Note: While MTVP's timecode corrects to MIDI clock every beat, it doesn't attempt to keep the video in sync with the device that sends the start/continue command. Once you send a command, the video free-plays. The video will eventually drift and get out of sync with your device(s), but it's negligible for very short social media videos.
