Is it possible to play midi files in unity?

Question

Is it possible to play a MIDI file that has my game music in unity?

Since midi isn't imported as an audio file, how can I do this? (plugins maybe?)

I would like to do this in order to play my midi sound files without having to convert them to another format and since they a are weightless.

Thanks

MIDI is unfortunately not supported, no.

Here is what you should do: Suggest it as a feature on our uservoice site.

Other people that need it can then vote it up and then we'll implement it. It seems to be supported by FMOD, so it could be implemented in a later version of Unity.

thanks for the feedback and the link. However, maybe this is not that related to unity, but has anyone found a way to play midis in a webplayer (maybe playing them externally or something but making it sync with unity). :S don't know, just guessing possibilites. Thanks

nice idea. web browser can play midi. heres what i m thinking. use unity to tell your browser to do a preload of the midi file. and when an event happen on the unity, tell the web browser to play a midi file.
