About this app

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.

Incredibly useful app. No trouble setting everything up, ui is intuitive - and everything just works. The emitted midi clock is rock solid and together with the adjustable latency compensation makes it an essential ingredient in tightly integrating my setup.

Essential tool if you use Ableton Link-enabled apps with your midi gear or if you want to just check in with the current state of your midi/link network. I also use Link to MIDI Bridge to double check that my Akai Force (Ableton Link-enabled hardware) is properly in sync.
