16.2.2.2 Ableton Link Synchronization


If you join an Ableton Link Session, then the Global Quantum (the beats per cycle) is used as loop cycle measure to be synchronized with the Ableton Link Session.


Ableton Link is a technology that synchronizes musical beat, tempo, phase, and start/stop commands across multiple Link-enabled applications running on one or more devices. Applications on devices connected to the a local (wireless) network discover each other automatically and form a musical session in which each participant can perform independently: anyone can start or stop while still staying in time. Anyone can change the tempo, the others will follow. Anyone can join or leave without disrupting the session.


Ableton Link can be enabled in the Global Sequencer settings.


To show up the Global Sequencer settings, either short click the red marked areas in the Project Info Display, or long press the Play button.
