Double BUMP...especially since slaving Reaper is almost impossible with MIDI Clock or MTC!

We have also things like Studiomux to sync midi over wifi. But Ableton Link is a king.

Delving into live land again. Could really do with link to sync traktor, maschine and reaper together. I'm using midi clock, but I have to reset the offset each time I start playback...

Then it should be called by another other name ("Abelton" is a trade mark and "link" by far too unspecific) and the specs should be defined by an independent organization. ?!?!?!

Providing more interfaces always is a good thing (and Reaper certainly is the DAW that provides most of them).

But they should be as little propriety as possible. E.g. MIDI is managed by a consortium, ASIO and VST are managed by Steinberg, but do not use their name and are accepted by hundreds of organisations. ARA was managed by Celemony, but ARA2 (while managed by Celemony) had been defined with inputs by several brands, including Cockos.

Hence Ableton should rename the specification and initiate the foundation of a consortium that manages it, to allow it to be widely accepted.

Hmm get over it I don't think that it would be a reason for devs to not implement it in reaper. Anyway! Bigger brands already did it.

I would consider it astonishing if somebody implements something he needs to advertise using the brand name of a direct competitor.

Happily Celemony was not superstitious enough to call ARA2 "Melodyne Link" (suggesting that it would not work if Melodyne is not involved) .

Hi,
Stop with the symantics. Everyone calls it link..that's it. Just about every dev on iOS uses it. It works great .
I want to be the master. I am drummer. Free me!
Supporting the Link protocol would do nothing but enhance reaper ESPECIALY for live use. Get it?
SMPTE over midi...MTC.....does not have anything to do with music...it all about what time it is.
Link and midi clock are about music. ESPECIALY in a live performance. Reeeeeel time.Get it?

Please Justin and Schwa...Link support?

Also, its not all about 2 machines....Link works great between applications.

Thank you

I believe Ableton link is completely open.

My Ethernet switch even has a LED called "Link" to show that Ableton traffic is present on theses cables.

Link in Reaper would allow for sample-perfect sync with Max Msp. A dream come true.

You mean there would be Max for Reaper as well, kind of? Can you give a few examples how you would use Max Msp together with Reaper?

Actually this feature would incorporate into reaper hundreds/thousands of others in a single feature. I think number of users interested in reaper would increase a lot. Let's be friends daws!

Can you provide a list of software products that would be compatible ?

That really is impressive !
The protocol seems to be widely accepted and hence finally should get a decent name.

With Link, you would be able to run Max in perfect sync with Reaper and therefore mix two workflows together. Recording algorithmic stuff from Max to Reaper, perfectly delay compensated, in perfect sync with all the linear tracks you have in Reaper.

For even tighter integration, it would, probably, be better to use Camomile for Pure Data in Reaper, but for recording and complementing Max with Reaper the Link would be excellent and painless.

Link would also make all the delay compensation calculations much simpler and predictable when sending stuff from Reaper to Max and back for example.

Default Why not ?

I did a very quick check and it seems we may implement some kind of Link synchronization with a reascript :
I first installed and launched carabiner :
https://github.com/Deep-Symmetry/carabiner

Then we can send current reaper BPM as simple messages to carabiner using the reascript below.It's just a very crude test but seems to work. I was able to transmit reaper current bpm to the SNAP (by Reactable) android app (Link must be enabled in Snap's settings).

Code:
// Ableton Link using Carabiner
// Reaper as master
tcpCon=tcp_connect("127.0.0.1",17000);

tcpCon>0 ? (
  actualBpm = TimeMap_GetDividedBpmAtTime(GetPlayPosition());
  sprintf(#SetBpmMsg,"bpm %d",actualBpm);
  ShowConsoleMsg(#SetBpmMsg); 
  ShowConsoleMsg("\n");
  tcp_send(tcpCon,#SetBpmMsg);
)

Bump for a great effort by Chrisfr.
Hopefully this inspires the devs to implement a complete solution as part of the Reaper package.

HUGE +1 for Ableton Link support. Pro Tools now has it. PRO TOOLS!! That same software that didn't have folder support until this year....LOL

Seriously though, this is a semi-selfish request. I have a gig coming up working with a producer who uses Ableton, so Link support would help prevent me from having to resort to using......Pro Tools....🤮

It's now becoming almost a norm, as has (Cubase) VST plugin standard. The list of Ableton Link enabled apps has now passed the 200 mark: https://www.ableton.com/en/link/products/
Certainly hope to see Reaper on that list some day because Reaper's MIDI sync is unusable! :-(

Dang, I just discovered Link and am amazed at how well it works and how easy to use...

Amazed we don't have it in Reaper, seeing how widespread and useful it's become...

Hope the devs haven't forgotten about it by now...

This has changed from a “want” to a “must have”.

Is it 100% working? The main advantage of Link afaict is that it is dead simple to use and the only setup involved is connecting to WiFi. This script is definitely not so simple...

If you don't need more than 8 tracks and 2 sends, Ableton Lite is free atm at Splice. Seems the best option atm. I just can't understand how the devs are not interested in something this powerful and accessible.
