![]() So I'm going to change this track here by selecting it and going to AUSampler. Now let's try it with something that's a little more interesting. (Chirping sound) You can see it has recorded those notes and it will play them back using that instrument. Let me turn off the Count In and the Metronome and let's record something using the keyboard. You can see here under Sounds you've got all the regular sounds and you also have a new folder at the top called User Patches and in that it will list anything in that folder that's a patch file. You can see it's going to save it inside the Music folder, Audio Music Apps, Patches, and then Instrument. So I'm going to hit Save here at the bottom and then choose a name for it. Now I probably want to save this because I may want to use it in future tracks as well. I'm going to bring up the keyboard there and you can see it works. So now that I've got that I can simply close this window here and this track changes to instrument 1 and it will play that sample. So now I can hold it and it will keep looping. You could also change other things like looping. So if you wanted to say change it to C3 now C3 plays it as is and C4 is pitched up a whole octave. You'll see the Root here is C4 meaning C4 is basically playing the sound as is. If you look here make sure you have this selected. Now when I play the keyboard you'll hear the canary sound and notice it gets pitched down depending upon which key I'm playing. I'm going to select the sine wave there and hit Minus so just the chirp is left. Let's go and create a sample using this AIF file here. So you need to convert anything preferably to an AIF file. But what won't work are MP3 files and things like that. Now you need to have a file that's an AIF file or alternatively a lot of wave files work as well. So I'm going to click on this button here at the bottom and then Add Samples. Now what I want to do is I want to bring in my own sample instead of this default. I can actually play that sample using the keyboard there. Now this is going to have a default sample of just a simple sine wave and a keyboard. Then it's going to bring up this really complex interface that I bet a lot of people didn't even know was in GarageBand. I'm going to select AU Instruments, Apple, then AUSampler, then Stereo. I'm going to click on the right side of the button here to select a new type of instrument. Expand where it says Plug-ins and see it says E-Piano. ![]() Then make sure Track is selected and you'll see Plug-ins. If I don't see this here at the bottom I could go to View and Show Smart Controls. I'm going to get rid of the keyboard here and with this track selectedI'm going to look down at the bottom. So we're going to go and alter this existing track to use a new type of instrument. There are tons to choose from.īut instead the idea is to create an instrument from a sample. We can change the instrument easily enough by selecting another instrument here. ![]() We can play it by clicking on the keys or using the keys on the keyboard. Here it's chosen for us classic electric piano and it brings up this little musical keyboard. You can typically use this to play an existing instrument in GarageBand. So we're going to choose Software Instrument. Then it's going to give us a default track that we need to choose. We're going to start off here in GarageBand and create an empty project. But you can also take an audio file and use it as a sample to create your own instrument. You can use any number of software instruments that come with GarageBand including pianos, synthesizers, string instruments, guitars, all sorts of things. So in GarageBand you can use your Mac's keyboard or a mini keyboard and play a musical instrument. Join us and get exclusive content and course discounts.
