+ | - The more recent update to Link by Ableton provides the ability to have the link app respond to transport controls. Not all apps or host apps support this functionality. | ||
+ | - If an IAA app is synced to a host via host sync and the IAA host app is Link enabled, then the IAA is also Link synced even thoough the IAA app may not have Link or Link isn't enabled. | ||
+ | - A hosted IAA app can be eiher Link or IAA host synced, not both. | ||
+ | - An IAA host app can have hosted IAA synced apps running inside of itwhich are hosted via IAA host sync while the IAA host app itself is also synced via Link (Link enabled). | ||
+ | - AUv3 apps sync to the AUv3 host app which may or may not be Link enabled. | ||
+ | - You can set whether or not a Link enabled app notifies you when a new app joins or leaves the Link network. | ||
+ | - The app 'MIDI Link Sync' can generate link sync from midi clock signals coming from external hardware or generate midi clock from the link signal bridging these two worlds. | ||
