Hi Hector,

I'm actually really interested to see Csound + Unity + Android work,
though I haven't looked into it.  It's *very* nice to hear it works
with Unreal. I'm using Unity now to teach and had it as a todo to look
into Csound with it for AR/VR.

Do you have a test Unity project you could send me a link to? I can
try it here and do some debugging.

Thanks!
Steven

As you know Rory Walsh has been successful in getting it to work on Windows and Mac OS [ https://rorywalsh.github.io/CsoundUnity/ ] but he has also been unable to get it to work on Android. What makes it hard to debug is the fact that Unity or the system are not throwing any usable error messages. All I've been able to find is that the app crashes with an invalid memory error that happens at random points in the engine execution, a few seconds after instantiating Csound. I wonder if this just means that Csound is corrupting Unity's memory since the crash happens just by instantiating Csound without even trying to execute a CSD. I've also tried creating an AAR plugin library and instantiating Csound through Unity's Java bridge but that leads to the same results.

I'm interested in getting Csound to work with Unity as it would be a great combination of tools to teach to my students. Unity is more popular in my university due to better support, extensive documentation and tutorials, and higher availability of plugins. So before I give up I wanted to reach out here to see if anyone could give me some pointers, particularly I wonder if Steven Yi might have some ideas to share.

I'm also about to dive into this, and wanted to see if anyone's been
successful in getting CsoundUnity to run on Android.   I'm interested in
deploying on Oculus Quest/Go which are both Android

I've downloaded csound6.12.0-Android, dated 10/24/2018 as referred to in the
FLOSS manual.   As I'm reading the documentation, I'm wondering a few things
that you might be able clarify:

1. Does anyone have this working already?
2. Is csound6.12.0-Android, the latest-and-greatest starting point to work
from? (Downloaded from csound.com)
3. Is there an opportunity to use the java API for CsoundUnity rather than
compiling the C language external...or are there functions missing in java
that would be needed?  
4. Any other advice on building and testing? 

Thanks very much in advance

​I have a bunch of old MIDI files with accompanying samples, and I wonder if there is a simple way to play a number of them from within Csound instruments. I need to trigger those instruments at different times, hence I cannot use the command flag option for reading the MIDI file.

My guess is that it is not possible, and I have a solution using OSC from an external MIDI file reader. I just want to check if I have overlooked a Csound internal way of doing it. It would be handy!

I am not so sure. Recently I discovered that it it is fairly simple to play a midi file with csound via the Python Mido library:

http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/Csnd-Csound-play-a-midi-file-via-mido-tc5765853.html

So it requires some external Python programming...

Not possible. Csound can only read one file each performance.

I thought about allowing more, but it needs some major surgery for that (basically a redesign of midi file reading)

Hi,

I haven't really tried this, but if by any chance you are on Linux, how
about launching an instance of aplaymidi with the the system_i opcode? I
think it could actually be automatically connected to Csound by using
the '-p' option.

Cheers.

Using system calls within CSound is absolutely an interesting option that I hadn't thought about. My main platform is Windows, unfortunately, and in general I would prefer to stay platform independent as far as possible.

I already have implemented an external application that communicates with CSound over OSC, and the shortest route for me is probably to extend that with MIDI file reading (I have code for that as well).
