Alexander Joannou Music has updated LinkEffekt, available as a FREE download with an optional in-app purchase that provides Unlimited Channels support.
What’s new in version 2.0:
LinkEffekt 2.0 receives as well as sends, and puts the audio on your beat.
- New: jam across devices. iPad and iPhone stream to each other, right on the beat, in both directions
- New: LinkEffekt Receive and LinkEffekt Receive Instrument. Play channels from other devices, other apps on this device or a remote partner.
- New: aligns itself. In AUM, the Send plays ahead by exactly the trip, so the receiver lands on the beat.
- New: app to app on the same device, on the beat, with a 2 ms buffer. No Wi-Fi needed.
- New: Online mode. Play with a remote partner over the internet, locked to your bars, peer-to-peer and encrypted.
- New: Bar Sync. Locks incoming audio to your bar where the sending app cannot put it on the beat.
- New: channel names carry the device.
- New: Live Mode on the Send, for the rare case of playing live on the sending device.
- New: Bypass all LinkEffekt Sends. One switch in any Send, and your whole session plays on the device instead of streaming.
- Unlimited Channels now also unlocks Online mode and monitoring several channels at once.
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.
