Sonity
What Sonity is
Sonity is audio middleware for controlling game sound within Unity. Its components let developers trigger sounds without writing code, while scriptable objects support live editing and multi-editing. SoundParameters provide real-time sound control, and music features cover playlists, stems, and intros. Developers can visually debug sounds while a game is running. Sonity supports IL2CPP and provides fully documented source code. The documentation lists Steam Audio and PlayMaker integrations; Steam Audio can provide occlusion, reflections, and sound propagation. Sonity runs on Unity-supported platforms, including WebGL and consoles, with specific limits: WebGL excludes DSP features such as distortion, low-pass, and high-pass processing. On consoles, a project can use only one audio backend, so Unity audio cannot be combined with FMOD or Wwise. A free trial plan is listed as free, with features requiring scripting define symbols excluded. The paid Unity Asset Store license is $99, paid once per seat.
Who it suits
Sonity suits Unity developers who want to control, edit, and debug game audio, including interactive music. It may fit teams using IL2CPP or the listed Steam Audio and PlayMaker integrations, provided they can work within platform and licensing limits.
