## About

MTVP is a free MIDI-controlled video player for iOS and Android. Control video playback from any MIDI synth, DAW, or sequencer using standard transport messages (play, stop, continue with SPP) or custom CC mappings. A timecode display corrects itself to MIDI clock every beat and detects BPM automatically, so composers can see and use timings to score videos. 

Features:

• Free

• Zero tracking, analytics, or telemetry

• No account required

• Responds to System Transport messages: play, stop, continue (with SPP)

• MIDI CC control of start/stop/continue and video mute/unmute via custom configuration

• Timecode display

• Auto BPM detection from MIDI clock

• Hybrid clock sync; timecode corrects to MIDI clock every beat

• Loads video files locally. Slower initial startup but no privacy concerns and works offline

• Use the app with a video or no video at all as a timer/clock

• Configurable play and paused timecode colors

• Configurable video muted and unmuted colors

• MIDI connection selection, memory, and state detection

• Connect via cable or Bluetooth or via a wireless MIDI hub

• Auto/light/dark appearances

• Works with any MIDI‑compatible synth, DAW, sequencer, or software

• iOS version works on Apple Silicon Macs, too
