(Apple) TV Party Tonight!
For those of you with Apple TVs.... In collaboration with our friends at Confusion Studios (the MIDI Designer team) and Audeonic Apps (MIDI Bridge, MIDIbus), ... we're pleased to announce the release of our MidiTV apps. The MidiTV stuff will be free for a while, so if it's interesting to you, now would be a good time to check it out.
The Apple TV was opened up to developers, one of the things that went missing was CoreMIDI -- so no WiFi MIDI. I first went after a low-latency Bluetooth connection (similar to what I had done with Apollo), but Apple has locked that down too. So, plan B, or maybe plan C, WiFi MIDI.
musicIO version 1.60 has just been released, and has support for MIDI to the Apple TV. We also have a new app in the Mac app store, MidiTV Host, which will provide a connection.

What MIDI apps are available on the Apple TV, you ask? Good question! We've released MidiTV Orchestra, which is a 16 channel General MIDI Soundfont playing app (same Soundfont as bs-16i, and a bunch of other apps). This will respond to program changes, or you can select different sounds using the TV remote. Percussion is on channel 10, as you'd expect. And then there's MidiTV Clock, which will display bars and beats, and has a few meters to show CC levels. I don't know of a good way to link to an Apple TV app; I think you'll have to search in the App Store (thanks, Apple!).
MidiTV Host, Orchestra, Clock -- all free for a while. VUplug, which was recently released, is also free.
Here's a video of the stuff in action:
Fun times! Let me know if you've got questions!

And because I can't get it out of my head...
wow, I think we just witnessed the birth of something significant. Nicely done!
... it looks like a peculiar, helpless infant. But I believe it has a bright future, great things in store.
@SecretBaseDesign it seems Apple may have some sort of personal vendetta against you as they attempt to thwart all of your MIDI moves at every turn but somehow you find a way around them.
Your latest app suggests interesting possibilities for the future like creating music on your phone and using the TV screen and its connected sound system as monitors to augment the phone's tiny screen and speakers.
Interesting and confusing
I'm unsure if I would use the atv as music device
But sending midi to the tv to manipulate some pixel fest ...
Cheers
Let's go get sushi, and not pay.
There are all sorts of things that become possible if you can link a video system to MIDI. In my day job, I'm a computer science professor, and I'm working with a prof from our film school.... The AppleTV is a remarkably programmable video source, but to link it to a performance, we needed MIDI. Stuff like this has been on my mind for months (I have no connection to it, other than being a fan of Kaki). We'll be releasing an SDK in a couple of days, so that anyone can hack MidiTV apps together if they want to.
Exactly! I imagine it will take a while to develop. But this is no doubt going to lead to great possibilities for VJ and graphics on stage
Took me a minute to get what is going on here
1st I thought how the fuck do they track the position of the guitar,
They don't, it's a fixed position
Looks more sophisticated at a first glance than it is, but nice anyway
Honestly I'm not interested in anything i cant take with me to the stage easily I just dont see myself carrying an Apple TV with music apps but It's seems like it going to be more like for light shows and video sync wich it's the only thing that makes sense for an Apple TV in a set up... That's interesting.
The life of a repo man is always intense.
Plate of shrimp.
I gotta get my car out of this bad neighborhood.
Put it on a plate, son. You'll enjoy it more.
(Ok, I'm going to quit now, because otherwise I'd be doing this for weeks. But I will say that it makes me very happy that there are some folks here who appreciate the classics!)
My partner is going to kill me if I start monkeying around the tv now too.
Just for that, you're not in the gang anymore.
It's very clever and all but seems like a solution in search of a problem.
The problem is Apple TV is a useless computer
All I use it for now is a 2nd (wireless) screen ...
More power to secret base design
Ideas will be adopted by Apple next year
I wonder what Nintendo will do with it.
Who wouldn't want to play Mario again?
I installed all the applications on the Apple TV, and already had them on the MBP and on my iPad2, and ran LPX and as usual, nothing much happened. There’s inadequate documentation. I’ve no idea what to do or what is supposed to occur, and the many and varied choices of what to do are simply a lottery. I’ve spent enough time discovering ways of making nothing work, and have had enough exercise for the day walking up stairs to where the Apple TV is, then back down to where everything else is, over and over etc.
Did you set the MIDI tracks in LPX to send MIDI to the MidiTV Host? The set-up is designed to be similar to plugging in a MIDI cable to a piece of hardware....
Oh, no fair!
Since time is short, and you may lie, I'm going to have to torture you.
Wow! Literally outside the box thinking! Seriously, this is a whole area that I’m not sure anybody else has even considered. I don’t know how much groundswell we can expect in this area, but hats off to SBD et al. for building the answer before anyone has even asked the question.
Yes, I’ve done everything I’ve arbitrarily guessed I’m supposed to have done.
