AKSequencer with Ableton Link


Has anyone did synchronization AKSequencer with Ableton Link accurately? Whatever I do, it not synchronized at all.

I take beatTime from AbletonLink and play sequencer at this position + output latency. Since the delay between function play called and actual playing is unpredictable, it not working


Solution

  • We don't use the AKSequencer (which is based on Apple's sequencer and therefore mostly closed source) for our synths that need a sequencer because of this unpredictability. Instead we use AKTimeline based solutions such as in the metronome example in AudioKit:
