Note that the metronome’s recording count-in (see ‘Recording with Count-in’) cannot be used when Link is enabled. Tempo changes made by any participant in a Link session will override tempo automation in your Live Set. If multiple participants try to change the tempo simultaneously, everyone else will try to follow, but the last one who changes the tempo will “win.” Any Link-enabled apps or instances of Live can then change their tempo at any time and all others will follow. The first app or Live instance to join a Link session will set the initial tempo for the others. After you trigger playback, Live will wait until this bar is filled before starting.Īrrangement Position Shows Relation to Link Timeline. This bar is a representation of the Live Set’s global launch quantization in relation to that of the other participants in the Link session. If at least one other Link-enabled app or instance of Live is connected, the Arrangement Position display will show a moving “progress bar” whenever Live’s transport is not running.

To configure Live to use Link, first make sure that your computer is connected to the same network as any other devices that you will use Link with. Link-enabled software will remain in tempo as well as at the correct position in relation to the global launch quantization of all participants. When using Link, you can start and stop playback of each device or application independently of every other connected device or application. Link is built into Live as well as a growing number of iOS applications, and any Link-enabled software can play in time with any other Link-enabled software simply by joining the same network. Synchronizing with Link, Tempo Follower, and MIDIĪbleton Link is a technology that keeps devices in time over a wired or wireless network.
