But with Link, desktop apps will be able to hook up to suitably enabled iOS apps and dip into their magic, essentially offering the evolving world of iOS music apps to run in unison.
Previously the desktop and mobile worlds were only reliably linked by cables and proprietary secret special sauce, and largely only allowed one app to benefit from said sauce. Link comes as a built-in feature of Ableton Live and a growing number of desktop and mobile music applications.įor further info on the availability of Link in Reason, Serato DJ and Max, visit: With Link in more apps, more musicians can jump straight into making music, no matter what they’re playing. The source code has been made available alongside the SDK for iOS – both can be downloaded from Github.

The theory is that not only can Ableton Live wirelessly sync with iOS apps, but those apps can happily talk to each other, so that different people can use different apps, and everyone involved happily jams along and not be off beat. Ableton’s Link is the new glue that binds a plethora of iOS music apps together with the desktop Live.
