Communication between Unity and Ableton Live

Unity Engine
1

Hey, I’m completely new to Unity and use it only for audio as I’m interesting in getting into the audio programming/sound design areas of game development.

I was wondering if there was any way to incorporate some kind of audio software/DAW into my work-flow. I am hoping to output MIDI data from Unity into Ableton Live. I found this plugin which looks close to what I am aiming for: MIDI Unified 5.0b1 | Audio | Unity Asset Store
With this will I be able to trigger an event in game to output MIDI information which can then be routed into Ableton?

Any help would be great and sorry for being such a noob!
Thanks!

well, I don’t know if there’s any sense in contributing to this now but if you’re still interested I think it just got a whole lot easier.
In the latest version of ableton you can use the connection kit package effects (OSC Send and OSC Midi Send specifically) to send osc data out. In unity there are a few things on the asset store you could use to get osc data in. I am using extOSC and I like it so far and it’s free. Will still probably require some troubleshooting but hopefully that’s a good first step for anyone wanting to explore this.
