MIDI Widgets is a groundbreaking application designed exclusively for the Apple Vision Pro, marking its entry as the inaugural spatial MIDI designer that leverages the cutting-edge capabilities of Apple’s latest technological marvel. Developed by Uwyn, LLC, a firm renowned for its suite of best-in-class MIDI applications, MIDI Widgets introduces a revolutionary approach to music production and performance.
At its core, MIDI Widgets allows users to create an immersive, spatially anchored control environment, transforming physical spaces into interactive MIDI control hubs. The application supports a variety of controls including faders, buttons, and knobs, with promises of expanding this repertoire in future updates. These controllers can be strategically placed anywhere within a physical space, adhering to their designated positions with remarkable precision, thanks to the application’s spatial anchoring capabilities. This ensures that your meticulously arranged control setups remain intact, ready to spring into action exactly as you left them, even after restarting the device.
One of the standout features of MIDI Widgets is its scene grouping functionality, which enables users to craft distinct controller layouts tailored to various performance or production needs. Each scene can command its unique set of MIDI outputs, facilitating seamless transitions between setups for different musical pieces or segments of a performance.
MIDI Widgets is not just an application; it’s a testament to the potential of Apple Vision Pro as a platform for creative innovation. The app allows for the creation of an unlimited number of controllers, which can be freely positioned and oriented within your space. Its support for spatial snapping aids in constructing large, perfectly aligned control surfaces, enhancing the tactile experience of music production.
Connectivity and compatibility are hallmarks of MIDI Widgets, with support for Bluetooth LE MIDI devices and built-in virtual MIDI for communication with other Vision Pro apps on the same device. The application provides a comprehensive control experience, with customizable MIDI channel selection, message types (including Control Change, Channel Pressure, Program Change, and Pitch Bend), and resolution options for precise adjustments.
MIDI Widgets elevates the customization experience, allowing every aspect of a control to be personalized with different colors for easy identification. This, coupled with the ability to copy and paste colors or complete color schemes, ensures that your control setup is not only functional but visually cohesive. The addition of optional labels for controllers enhances this further, offering clarity and convenience in complex setups.
The application’s floating tool window feature, which follows the user’s hand, allows for on-the-fly editing anywhere within your space. This, along with the ability to use multiple controllers simultaneously for dual-hand interaction, sets a new standard for intuitive control in music production.
Uwyn, LLC has introduced MIDI Widgets at a limited-time launch price of $9.99, a 33% discount that makes this innovative tool an irresistible addition to the toolkit of any musician or producer looking to explore the spatial dimensions of sound.
MIDI Widgets is not just an application; it’s a paradigm shift in how we interact with music and MIDI controls. By harnessing the spatial capabilities of the Apple Vision Pro, it opens up new vistas of creativity and efficiency in music production. Whether you’re a seasoned producer or an enthusiast looking to explore the frontiers of musical expression, MIDI Widgets is your gateway to a world where the physical and digital realms converge in harmony.
