Play Together with Ableton Link

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 wireless network, so you can forget the hassle of setting up and focus on playing music. Link is available as part of the latest update to Live, and to the wider music-making community as a built-in feature of a growing number of iOS apps.

Join the session

Hop on to the same network and jam with others using multiple instances of Live – Link keeps everyone in time. Anyone can start and stop their part while others keep playing. And anyone can adjust the tempo and the rest will follow. No MIDI cables, no installation, just free-flowing sync that works.

With Live and beyond

People make music using a range of instruments, so Link helps you play together using a range of devices. A growing number of iOS apps 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 apps in time using multiple devices, or using multiple apps on the same device.
