• You can connect a real MIDI keyboard through a USB cable (on most newer gear) or a MIDI adapter (on older equipment). You can connect other MIDI instruments, including guitars, woodwinds, and drums, and record onto a real instrument track in GarageBand. Click the red Record button when you’re ready to rock.

You can choose a keyboard sound, move higher or lower on the keyboard, hold notes, and adjust other keyboard parameters. Alchemy synth sounds have an extended set of controls that you can use to customize the sound.

You can now use the chord strips (previously available on the Smart Keyboard) with all keyboard sounds to play chords, bass notes, and comping patterns.

Choose a keyboard sound

• Tap the Navigation button in the control bar, tap the Sounds button, then tap the sound you want to play. You can also swipe left or right on the Sounds button to change to the previous or next sound. To view keyboard sounds in a different category, tap one of the category names.

Play higher or lower on the keyboard

• To move the keyboard by octaves, tap the Octave Down or Octave Up button.

Hold notes longer

• Touch and hold the Sustain control as you play. You can also drag the Sustain control to the right to lock it on.

  Organ sounds have a Rotation switch instead of a Sustain control.

Adjust the touch sensitivity of the keys

You can set the touch sensitivity for the keyboard to one of four levels. Increasing the touch sensitivity makes notes sound louder or softer depending on how hard you tap the keys. If you turn touch sensitivity off, all notes sound the same regardless of how hard you tap the keys.

1. Tap the Track Controls button , then tap Track Settings.

   On iPhone 8, iPhone 7, or iPhone 6s, tap the Settings button in the control bar, tap Track Controls, then tap Track Settings.

2. Tap Velocity Sensitivity, then tap the sensitivity level you want to use for the keyboard.

Play the keyboard by swiping left or right

You can control the keyboard in different ways by swiping left or right across the keys. By default, swiping horizontally plays notes on the keyboard smoothly. You can change the swiping behavior using the Glissando button.

• To move higher or lower on the keyboard by swiping across the keys, tap the button until it says Scroll.

• To return to the default behavior, tap the button until it says Glissando.

• Some instruments, particularly synthesizers, have a third setting. For these instruments, to slide smoothly between notes (called portamento), tap the button until it says Pitch.

Adjust the sound

Some keyboard sounds, including electric piano, synthesizer, and organ, include knobs or other controls you can use to change the sound while you play. When available, the knobs are located in the controls area, with labels showing the sound parameters they control. When you record the Keyboard, any movements to the controls are also recorded.

3D Touch. On iPhones that support 3D Touch, you can adjust some sounds by varying the pressure on the keyboard while you play.

• Tap the Controls button , then turn the knobs while you play the keyboard, and listen to how the sound changes.

Adjust Alchemy synth sounds

Alchemy synth sounds include additional parameter knobs, the Transform Pad, and XY pads. You can view the other Alchemy synth controls by tapping the left or right arrows in the controls area.

The Transform Pad has eight sections (called snapshots) that represent a group of settings for the sound of the instrument. You can adjust the sound by tapping a snapshot or dragging the rectangular framing box between the snapshots. When the framing box is over one snapshot, you hear the sound of that snapshot. When the framing box partially covers multiple snapshots, the sound of those snapshots is transformed to create a new sound. The amount that each covered snapshot contributes to the sound is determined by how much of the framing box covers the snapshot.

Do one of the following:

• Play using a single snapshot: Tap a snapshot to place the framing box over it.

• Transform the sound between multiple snapshots: Drag the framing box so that it partially covers the snapshots.

• Transform the sound using Gyro control: Tap the Gyro Control button above the keyboard and tilt your iPhone to move the framing box.

• Transform the sound using the XY pads: Tap the left or right arrows in the controls area to view the XY pads, then drag the pucks on the two XY pads. Moving a puck changes the X and Y axis values on its pad.

Adjust organ sounds

For organ sounds, you can control the speed of the rotating speaker effect using the Rotation switch.

• Make the speaker rotate faster or slower: Tap the Controls button , then drag the Rotation switch right or left.

Adjust the sound with Face Control

If your iPhone supports facial recognition, you can add vibrato, resonance, or other changes to some keyboard sounds by moving your mouth while you play.

1. Hold your iPhone 10–20 inches (25–50 cm) away from your face and tap the Face Control button .

   The first time you use Face Control, GarageBand asks for permission to access the camera on your iPhone.

2. As you play, open and close your mouth to change the sound.

3. To turn Face Control off, tap the Face Control button again.

When playing Alchemy synth sounds, you cannot use Gyro Control and Face Control at the same time.

Note: GarageBand uses ARKit face tracking features to translate your facial expressions into instrument effect controls. Your face information is processed on device, and only music is captured during your performance.

Play the keyboard using a particular scale

• Tap the Scale button , then tap the scale you want to play.

  After you choose a scale, the keyboard changes to show note bars rather than keys. Tap the bars to play the notes of the scale.

View note labels on the keyboard

You can view note labels for every key on the keyboard.

1. Close GarageBand.

2. Open the Settings app, scroll down, then tap GarageBand.

3. Tap Keyboard Note Labels.

Play arpeggios automatically

The Keyboard Touch Instrument includes an arpeggiator. When you turn on the arpeggiator, chords you play on the keyboard are arpeggiated, or played one note at a time rather than simultaneously.

Note: The arpeggiator is not available for Alchemy synth sounds listed under Arpeggiated.

• Tap the Arpeggiator button , then tap the Run switch.

  When you turn on the Arpeggiator, other controls appear below the Run switch, letting you set the order, rate, and octave range of arpeggiated notes.

  • Tap Note Order, then choose the direction of arpeggiated notes.

It simply provides information on the subject. From the main menu, you can access the different sections the app offers, where you'll find news, photos, and radio stations.

  • Tap Note Rate, then choose a note value for arpeggiated notes, based on the tempo of the song.

  • Tap Octave Range, then choose how many octaves the arpeggio covers.

  • To close the Arpeggiator controls, tap Done.

When the Arpeggiator is turned on, the Sustain control becomes a Latch control. If you touch and hold or lock the Latch control, the current arpeggio keeps playing. Tapping a different key transposes the current arpeggio to start on the tapped note.

Play the keyboard using chord strips

• Tap the Chord Strips button to view the chord strips.

Play chords or bass notes with chord strips

You can add your own custom chords to play.

Play comping patterns

1. Tap the Controls button , turn the Autoplay knob to one of the numbered positions, then tap the Controls button again.

2. Tap a segment of one of the chord strips.

   • The upper segments (showing the chord names) play chords and bass notes together.

   • The middle segments play chords only. Tapping with two or three fingers plays variations of the pattern.

   • The lower segments play bass notes only.

   To access the full chord strip, tap the Controls button again.

3. Tap the segment again to stop playing the pattern.

Chord strips for monophonic keyboard sounds are not divided into segments. Turn the Autoplay knob to select a pattern that plays when you tap the chord strips. Tapping a different chord strip plays the same pattern with the notes of that chord.

Save your own custom sounds

1. Modify an existing keyboard sound by adjusting the keyboard controls.

2. Tap the Navigation button in the control bar, tap the Sounds button, then tap Save.

3. Type a name for your custom sound, then tap Done.
