Play Link to MIDI Bridge on PC

Link to MIDI Bridge creates a virtual bridge between your Ableton Link Session and musical devices that support MIDI Clock Synchronization.

Easy to use

1. Join a Link session (WiFi required)
2. Hookup your MIDI device/interface
3. Enjoy your now Link-enabled MIDI device

Feature Highlights

MIDI Start quantization (1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1 - 32beats)
Stable MIDI Clock
Latency compensation (+/-300ms) to perfectly align the playback of the receiving MIDI device

MIDI support

Android 5.x+: USB (host)
Android 6.x+: USB (host+peripheral) + Bluetooth LE (host)

Important Note

Link to MIDI Bridge is recommended for use with hardware MIDI devices, hooked up either directly over USB MIDI or in use of a USB MIDI to DIN interface.
It is technically possible to synchronize other apps over MIDI clock, but it's not recommended because of timing inaccuracies.
Also, MIDI over Bluetooth LE is technically possible, but it's not recommended because of timing inaccuracies in the BLE transmission.
