Definitely in iOS, if 'Link To Midi' works for hardware
the only midi hardware left here is a midi usb keyboard.
Frankly I don't care who drives the train, I am worried what will happen to all midi based gear, like my "new" Midi sequencer....?
If midi gear can be included, then in a heartbeat, if not, hopefully some genius will create an app to do the sync?
If not possible, that would mean a complete divorce of (time synced) hardware from iPad?
Another fear I have is what will happen if other companies start make their own LINK?
That's why midi is great,...universal language....
hmmm, I still haven't figured out WTH midi clock is....Though, I'm thinking I may be using it with Rock DM and Auria. But I'm still not sure lol. SO if I did ditch it, I probably wouldn't know I did?
+1
i soooooooooooo want to, but not all apps are updated with link support yet, and idk if there will be a link-to-midi app that supports virtual midi.
It looks like there will be

I would love to go fully with Link but I would like a bit more exacting transport options than what Link has supplied (I'd like to at least have the option for immediate stop-start). Also, I have a feeling that there's going to be a long time to get all the apps I want compatible with Link, if they ever do. That's not the biggest deal with the Link/MIDI conversion apps coming out, but that's also another middle-man, so to speak (e.g. this is why I don't use Midibus ever anymore).
Is this a meaningfull question ?
Not until Samplr and SB are in. It ain't over yet.
What I mean is:
However wonderfull Link is, can it really replace MIDI-sync ?
I think it absolutely could.
Even with the recent resurgence of hardware, software is currently the main component of electronic music. Ableton is one of its leading (if not the leading) identities. People have complained about MIDI's latency and drawbacks/inabilities since its inception. If Ableton can present a new format to give better timing, of course people will a) trust it (it's Ableton), and b) use it. New hardware will start to come with Link functionality. Retrofit capabilities are literally days away. And this is just the first iteration of Link.
What CalCutta said. Plus, remember that the clock is just one piece of MIDI (and surely one of the weakest pieces in iOS).
As if Samplr is "in" to MIDI clock?
Why, haven't you noticed?
Well, unless Studio One, ProTools and Logic incorporate it, as well as the MIDI capable hardware that I use alongside iPads (unlikely) - then, no it's not going to replace it. It might live well alongside it in some limited (albeit very useful) fashion, but, not everyone produces music using Live - in spite of what the polls say
Now, I do use Live, but it's not my first or only choice, and Link doesn't stand out as compelling enough to use it primarily for me.
On the iPad, yes, very useful. Much applause for a good solution for iOS.
That's probably my biggest question: how long (if at all) will it take for other DAW's to adopt Link? If there could be any hindrance to its progress, that would be it.
THAT was freaking cooooooool!!!!!! Thanks so much for posting that @supadom - it's been months since I've seen an ios video that inspired me that much. Now I want this workday to end so I can go home and play with Samplr! (...and GeoShred(so cool!!)... and Modstep... and Loopy... and ... and...)
LINK is very useful but having a MIDI sync option for software and especially hardware without LINK support means that MIDI sync won't go away for me.
Same here.
i have ditched spacetime entirely and am the living light of mine own apphood.
NO way ahhhh, what are you saying! IF this insane 80s technology survived somehow this long its here to stay I'm afraid.
We need to synch our old ass gangster gear brah, i know that wasn't your point but just saying
MIDI clock just doesn't work between apps. Link is the way to go.
midi is here to stay
midi-clock isn't
who doesn't hate midi-clock and through boxes and all the jadda jadda that never really works?
no more master and slave stuff with time relations
link is a gift from heaven
and no more you have to set this up first
by the time I used to have it all set up I had already forgotten what I wanted to do
