Sound Reactor Pro is a tool that makes it easier than ever to make events and properties in Unity react to audio and MIDI events.

Sound Reactor Pro introduces MIDI file playback. MIDI Note Events and their Velocities are converted to a 128 note spectrum. This means precise control for up to 128 isolated frequencies that can be used to trigger events and drive property values.

COMPATIBILITY

• Tested with Unity 2019.4 through Unity 6. When upgrading to a custom SRP, SoundReactor itself works 100%, but the RhythmGame and EventDriverSetup demos have issues with Canvas and the Standard Shader.
• Vector shapes don't work with the Scriptable Render Pipeline
• Audio spectrum visualizers don't work with WebGL, but audio playback and MIDI syncing does.

* To hear audio with MIDI, a pre-rendered audio file must be played in sync with the MIDI using the AudioMidiSync component, or other such custom component.

** The glow in these videos are using the Post Processing Stack, which is not included with Sound Reactor.
