With acoustic instruments, playing in time comes naturally. You can jump in when the time’s right, and everyone keeps their flow. Playing together with electronic instruments hasn’t always been so easy. Now Link makes it effortless.
Link is a technology that keeps devices in time over a local network, so you can forget the hassle of setting up and focus on playing music. Link is now part of Live, and also comes as a built-in feature of other software and hardware for music making.
Hop on to the same network and jam with others using multiple devices running Link-enabled software. While others play, anyone can start and stop their part; or start and stop multiple Link-running applications at the same time. And anyone can adjust the tempo and the rest will follow. No MIDI cables, no installation, just free-flowing sync that works.
People make music using a range of instruments, so Link helps you play together using a range of devices. A growing number of music applications have Link built in, which means anyone on the same network can play them in time with Live. You can even use Link without Live in your setup: play Link-enabled software in time using multiple devices, or multiple applications on the same device.
Link works with a growing number of iOS apps and desktop software, with or without Live.
