Sync; Ableton Link Description - EMS iVCS3 User Manual

Captures Output stereo signal (post Effects) and creates an audio file
wav format 44.1 kHz 16 bit in the Documents Folder. Files created by iVCS3
are saved with an id-name followed by a number, for example:
Output Rec 1.wav, Output Rec 2.wav etc...
Each new file will be numbered with the next consecutive number.

SYNC

The goal of SYNC is to setup a global Metronome (MASTER BPM).
This will affect the LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) and/or the Sequencer
when it's enabled to receive the SYNC signal - see Control Manager for more
details. The SYNC can be controlled remotely from a MIDI Clock signal or an
Ableton Link.
You can adjust the BPM (Beats Per Minute) through the minus/plus buttons
and these will replace the current value with the integer BPM (previous/next)
or you can TAP to set your own Tempo. When the MIDI Clock is activated
(see MIDI Manager), the 'MASTER BPM' slider will be disabled and the
Tempo value is controlled by the MIDI Clock. When connected to Ableton
Link, the slider is enabled.

Ableton Link description

Ableton Link is a new technology that synchronizes the beat, phase and
tempo of Ableton Live and Link-enabled iOS apps over a wireless network. It
lets you play devices together with the freedom of a live band. Anyone can
start and stop their part while others keep playing, and anyone can adjust the
tempo and the rest will follow. You can use Link to play with several copies of
Ableton Live, with Live and iOS apps, or with iOS apps together – even
without Live in your setup.
By default 120 BPM corresponds to 1 Hz.
The 'Sync' button waits for the next beat (Tempo Forte) from the MIDI Clock
or Ableton Link and resets all phases for LFO, Sequencer etc.
You can enable the MIDI Clock Signal by following these steps:
1 Open MIDI Manager
2 Send a MIDI Clock Signal
3 Enable the MIDI Clock for the chosen Source, see MIDI Manager for
