Using the GarageBand Onscreen Music Keyboard

You can use the GarageBand onscreen music keyboard to play and record Software Instruments.

When you show the onscreen music keyboard, by default it displays a four-octave range of

keys. You can resize the keyboard to display up to 10 octaves.

To play the onscreen music keyboard:

1. Choose Window > Keyboard.

2. Click the notes on the keyboard. You can click when the song is playing, when it is

stopped, or when recording. Clicking a note lower on the key plays the note with a higher

velocity (equivalent to pressing the key harder), and clicking a note higher on the key plays

the note with a lower velocity (equivalent to pressing the key more softly).

To move the keyboard:

1. Place the pointer anywhere in the space above the keys and drag.

To resize the keyboard:

1. Drag the expansion triangle on the lower-right edge of the keyboard window.

To change the range of notes you can play:

1. Click the small triangles to the left or right of the keys. Clicking the triangle to the left

lowers the keys by an octave, and clicking the triangle on the right raises the keys by an

octave.

Connecting a Music Keyboard to your Computer

If you play a keyboard instrument, you can connect a MIDI-compatible music keyboard to your

computer.

To connect a music keyboard to record Software Instruments:

1. If the keyboard is a USB MIDI keyboard, connect the USB cable to the keyboard and to your

computer.

2. If the keyboard is a standard MIDI keyboard, connect the keyboard to a MIDI interface using

standard MIDI cables, and connect the interface to your computer. Be sure to follow the

instructions that came with the keyboard, which may include installing the correct driver on

your computer.
