Asset to read/display result of MIDI input?

Target Platforms XR
1

I’m wondering if anyone knows of an asset set that would allow us to “visualize” the key presses of a real MIDI controller on a Virtual piano or some other keyboard?

I searched the Asset store for “MIDI” of course, but am not knowledgeable enough about Unity at this point to know which of these tools might do the trick. I don’t plan on doing it myself (obviously), but I do want to know if it’s possible with existing tools.

Thanks!

I know you can make support for hardware. With an external compiled application ( can be a simple console app ) send data over UDP and receive it in Unity to handle it.
Works like a charm here with serial port communication. The downside is that you need 2 apps running, 1 console app and another for unity. Because I found out that serial communication trough unity only wasn’t working, so I had to make another application to send data over UDP.

I bet you can do the same for MIDI. If you know how to script stuff with plain C# and get MIDI data, you can do the same inside Unity and it this doesn’t work, send it over UDP.
