Sync Metronomes
Section titled “Sync Metronomes”Turning on Sync Metronomes uses Ableton Link technology to keep your metronome in sync with other nearby devices on the same Wi-Fi network. When enabled, Tunable stays in time with any other device running Tunable or any Ableton Link-compatible app. Changing the tempo on one device automatically updates all connected devices.
