Alexander Joannou Music has released LinkEffekt, available as a FREE download with an optional in-app purchase that provides Unlimited Channels support.
Stream any track from your iPhone or iPad directly into Ableton Live. Just load the plugin and it appears as a Live input channel
LinkEffekt is an AUv3 audio effect plugin that streams stereo audio from any track directly into Ableton Live usina Link Audio.
IMPORTANT: LinkEffekt is an AUv3 effect plugin – it runs inside a host app (like AUM. GarageBand. or Logic Pro), not on its own. It also requires Ableton Live 12.4+ on a Mac or PC on the same local network to receive the audio.
Load LinkEffekt as an insert effect in AUM, Loopy Pro, Drambo. Cubasis, Loaic Pro, GarageBand – any app that hosts AUv3 effects. Each plugin instance streams its track as a named input channel to Ableton Live.
Your favorite app doesn’t need to support Link Audio natively. LinkEffekt handles the streaming – you just load it on a track.
Run multiple instances to capture multiple tracks at once. Each instance gets its own channel name that appears in Live’s input routing. The first channel is FREE with full functionality – unlock unlimited channels with a single in-app purchase.
