General Synchronization project settings in Logic Pro for iPad
Sync Mode pop-up menu: Defines how the tempo in Logic Pro for iPad syncs with other devices.
Internal: Selects the internal timer of Logic Pro, with Logic Pro transmitting MIDI clock to synchronize external devices.
Ableton Link: Selects Ableton Link mode, which uses a technology that synchronizes the musical beat, tempo, and phase of Logic Pro with multiple applications running on one or more devices on the same network.
Two additional options become available once you choose Ableton Link from the Sync Mode pop-up menu:
Transmit and Receive Start/Stop switch: When turned on, transport start and stop commands are shared between all Link users in a session who have the feature turned on.
The status of this switch is saved as an app setting.
Peers connected display: The number shows how many other devices (on your iPad and on the local network) are participating in the Ableton Link session.
This is the same number inside the circular progress bar shown in the control bar display.
