bpm syncing

So, I have been experimenting with resolume wire and resolume avenue 7. I have noticed many ways to make wire sources sync with the bpm perfectly. My real question is, is there a way to accurately live sync bpm to tracks being djed? Like you have ableton link right and ableton has a tempo follow button but as soon as you turn the tempo follow on the link turns off. Is there any way to use these 2 in conjunction or some substitute that would do the same thing as tempo follow? I think this would have a ton of applications as wire grows.

You could try the getting a Midi clock from Ableton.
Won't be nearly as accurate as Ableton link though.

I´m not there yet with my integration of Resolume, but are you saying Resolume does not follow tempo received by Ableton Link?

Didn't you say, Ableton link is disengaged in Ableton?
If Ableton disconnects from the link, Resolume won't have anything to follow.

I´m not the OP

, just got concerned that the Resolume Link implementation may have trouble when changing tempo. That would have broken my setup, which is: Link syncing Traktor, Live and Bitwig.
Now that I re-read the entry post (the third time ^^), it seems OP only faces an issue of concurrent time masters between "Link" and "Tempo Follow". Sorry for misreading that.
Please forget my earlier post, I´ll happily go forward and integrate Arena into the existing setup.

Ha, OK, need to sleep more
There is no tempo master in a Link. The nodes should follow change on any of the other nodes.

Agreed.
My wording was sloppy

I meant: There is a "master" tempo, set by program x,y or z, whoever did the last update. The others adjust to what is sent in the protocol. My concern was that Arena may run into issues following that tempo, but since I misunderstood the OP that concern had no base to stand on
Sorry for the confusion.
