Midi-Vidi

I wanted a way to simply play a selected video clip when I press a key on my MPC Sample. I couldn’t find a simple mapping software. I figured out how to do this with TouchDesigner, but it was too tedious.

So I used Claude Code, Claude Design, and the Matt Pocock’s Wayfinder skill to make a tool doing exactly what I want and a little bit more.

This is a very simple app that allows mapping a MIDI key to a video file.

If two keys with video bindings are played at the same time, the binding highest up on the list is played first.

You can set a default video to loop when no key is pressed.

You can add a video “envelope” that has an Attack (video opacity goes to 1).. a hold that keeps the video playing after release… and a decay (fade out once the hold time is complete).

Just fun stuff.

If something like this already exists for free, please let me know. Otherwise I might keep building this out.

Thanks for trying it out!
