May 25, 2011 Here in North America the NHL playoffs are now in full swing and perhaps you're inspired to play some rocking organ! With GarageBand for iPad we get some great keyboard sounds with nifty screen controls! Not only can we use these keys in our songs that we're recording, but as I explained in a recent tutorial, live use is also a possibility! May 12, 2017 GarageBand songs defaults to the key of C. On iPhone and iPod Touch, tap Settings in the control bar, and then tap Song. On iPad, iPhone 6 Plus, and iPhone 7 Plus, tap Song Settings in the control bar. Tap the key for your song. Tap the scale for your song (major or minor).

I've been using the Amplitube app for playing live shows lately and would like to to transition to using Garageband..the effects and sounds you can get are much better, in my opinion. I would like to use Garageband in live settings more but the functionality for saving settings seems limiting.

You'll need to go to your overall iPad Settings and scroll down until you can see the GarageBand app in the list on the left. Tap on the GarageBand icon to see the settings for that app and then turn on Keyboard Note Labels. Use the Notepad to write chords, lyrics and notes.

So far I haven't been able to figure out how to save my amp and pedal configurations outside of making dedicated 'tracks' for each sound. Even then, I can only save up to 10 ( because that's the track limit). Is there something I'm missing? Thanks!

Setup and Equipment Needed
There are a few things we need.
- Controller Keyboard with power supply - There are many to choose from and I use an Axiom Pro 61. You will definitely need the power supply as the iPad does not provide power through it's dock port. If you want to use the Korg Nano series, you will need a USB hub with power supply.
- Camera Connection Kit - Our keyboard controller communicates with GB through this device.

Controls
Each instrument has it's own layout (organ with drawbars, synths with filter controls) but also there are some functions just above the keyboard and these will vary with the instrument selected. For example, 'Sustain'� will be on piano but not organ, organ will have the 'Rotary'� switch for the Leslie, all depending on the instrument.
Although we're going to be using a keyboard controller, if you want to use the onscreen keyboard, you get different controls for how your screen keyboard responds. On the far left is an 'Octave'� plus and minus. A middle button for 'Glissando'�, 'Scroll'�, 'Pitch'� which vary again depending on the instrument selected and the right side has a 'Scale'�, 'Arpeggiator'� and 'Keyboard Layout'�.
'Glissando'� lets you slide across the keys like a real keyboard would. Think of the piano player using the back of his hand and sliding up or down the keys.
'Scroll'� allows you to play a note and while holding it, slide the keyboard up or down. Useful if you need to get into different octaves of the on screen keyboard quickly.
'Pitch'� is a like a pitch bend wheel but lets you pitch up or down between notes simply by sliding your finger. Great for the vintage synths!
'Scale'� is great for solos if you want to try different sounding scales in a piece of music. Once you pick the scale you want to use, the keyboard becomes more like a single row marimba minus the #/b keys. If you use a kb controller, you will still have all the notes available but you can learn what notes are used by playing them on the iPad and matching them on your keyboard. You'll soon be playing 'Klezmer'� with ease!
'Arpeggiator'� is your freedom to play multiple notes with one chord held down. You can choose note order, rate, and octave range. Great for dance tunes or your version of 'Teenage Wasteland'�! Unfortunately, the arpeggiator does not work with a KB Controller.
