Import Minis Sample

If you have not done so already, import the Minis package included in the Timeflow Samples. This can be found in the Package Manager under Timeflow.

Finish Setup

To confirm that Minis is installed and working, open the MinisExample scene.

Then in the Hierarchy window, select the MidiReceiver object and view it in the inspector.

If you see the warning message displayed below, click Setup Minis to complete the installation.

For further instructions, see the Midi Receiver page.

To uninstall Minis from the project, it can be uninstalled from the Package Manager. You will then need to remove the MINIS scripting define symbol from Player Settings, and delete the Minis samples from the project.
