As far as I know, you can use InputMessage in both cases.

That is to say, you can set the CSD using csnd.setCSD(), or the orchestra 
and score separately using csnd.setOrchestra() and csnd.setScore(), and then 
you can just call csnd.exportForPerformance() and csnd.compile(), and after 
that you can call CsoundPerformanceThread.Play() and InputMessage().

Compile(filename) assumes the orchestra exists primarily as a file on 
storage, whereas the csnd.compile() function assumes the orchestra exists 
primarily as text in memory inside the CppSound object, and that is why it 
must be exported first. Either function can be used with a CsoundPerformanceThread.

As far as I know, the time of the InputMessage event is immediate.

Hope this helps,
