In Garage Band on iPAD, is there a way to make each key on the keyboard play a different sound effect?

I'd like to be able to play a number of selected sound effects using the keyboard in Garage Band. I've figured out how to import audio tracks from my itunes library into a track in Tracks View.
Thanks if anyone has experience with this......

GarageBand on iPad does not have the SoundEffects instruments, that GarageBand on Mac has.
The closest you can get to this on your iPad will be the "Sampler" instrument. You can record a sound sample and play it using the "Sampler" instrument and adjust the pitch.
But you cannot assigne different samples to different keys.
See:  Play sounds with the Sampler

  • I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?

    I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?
    For example so that I can just press shift or another key to get the German character.

    Some may already exist, but you will have to learn them.  On my old system these can be found through keyviewer.app  For example, if I press option+s I get ß   Umlaut is a bit cumbersome as option+u then the actual letter.  It may be possible to bind a key to do this function, possibly through System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
    I have old, old references for utilities that let you rebind keys to other functions, and you would have to see if they have modern equivalents.
    Ukelele Mac OS X Keyboard Layout Editor - http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ukelele - mostly useful for character, not function mapping.

  • Is there a way to create a playlist from the now playing screen on ios7?

    Hi Cornellius,
    From the now playing screen there's a Create button at the bottom that allows you to create a

    I don't see an option to add it to an existing playlist.

  • Is there a way to make all page margins the same?

    I've exported a book file from indesign. Since the pages were in a book-type spread, the odd and even pages have different margins. The odd page has the bigger margin on the left, while the even has the bigger margin on the right.  Is there any way to make these identical after the fact. I can't go back and redo the indesign file.

    Thanks, there are 382 pages. Can't do them one by one.  And I purposely made the margins different in indesign, to give people more space in the middle.  The margins are as follows:
    But when I try to reverse the inside outside on one page of the spread, just reverse them, so the dimensions are the SAME, all the text and photos move.

  • Is there a way to make Illustrator save in the background, like Photoshop?

    Out of Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, Illustrator is definitely the one I have most problems working with, due to small UI differences and ways of handling things
    Like the fact that you can't drag next to a number to change it, like in Photoshop. Or the fact that I can't sync my settings (it only says "Signed in as:", and when I press Manage Account, I'm taken to my CC files in Safari).
    But most annoying is the fact that whenever I'll save a document in Illustrator, a dialogue box opens letting me know the progress of the saving. Not only does this make me unable to continue working on the document (if the file is large, it takes some time), the app icon starts jumping in the dock if I switch to another program before the box appears.
    So, is there any way to make it save in the background, like in Photoshop? I'm running OS X, with Illustrator version 17.1.0.

    This really frustrates me, small differences between the apps that shouldn't be there.
    I understand you can't change the keyboard shortcuts to be the same/similar, but this is totally different. Let's hope it changes soon.

  • Is there a way to make comments "move to the back", behind the text and lines?

    Is there a way to make comments "move to the back", behind the text and lines?
    I am using Acrobat X Standard to "highlight" lines using comments lines at 12pt width and 50% opacity on DWG files converted to PDF.  The opacity setting makes the text and lines readable behind the highlighting, but the colors do not print well.  Moving the highlighting behind the existing text and lines would allow me to use 100% opacity with more vibrant colors.
    Before, we highlighted by hand, but those colors do not scan or copy well.  Digitizing the highlighting is cleaner, and can be edited without starting over.  The "comments" lines can be applied by Acrobat Reader, Acrobat Standard, and Acrobat Pro, so there's an advantage.  Even more important is that the average file size of an 11x17 print that is highlighted and scanned in color is 1000 KB, while doing it this way, they tend to be 100-150 KB, and the text remains searchable. If there's another system that people use, I'm open to that instead.  I haven't looked in to doing the highlighting in AutoCAD.
    Naturally, everything I'm doing is protected, and cannot be shared, sorry.
    Thanks.

    No, that's not really an option.

    Not sure how to find an answer to this.
    Thanks, GM

    I am trying to post a 123 page resource guide online for the public to access through the website of a non profit.  The guide has a lot of web links for to use for more information.  But there have been clickability issues when using some browsers to download the PDF and so I would prefer to suggest that they try to download the resource into Adobe Reader before using.  I want to make sure that this would securely safe for readers and users.
    Sorry I was not clear in my original question and thank you for your kind attention.

  • Is there a way to make movies open with the same screen size and position?

    Hello, I'm a new mac guy having just bought an i-mac a few months ago.
    I have a bunch of saved movies that open in quick time. Each time I open a separate movie by double clicking the file, the window opens in the upper right hand corner in a fairly small window. I must then drag the window size and location to a much larger size. I do this every time.
    I saw under quicktime, preferences, a section about preferences for full screen. This seems to work one time, for that movie, but all subsequent movies (even in full screen) or their same size.
    Is there a way to make the window size and/or location permanent?
    Thanks.

    this would have seemed like an easy thing to do but i've had no luck; one more attempt at a solution?

  • In full screen mode (with "Hide Toolbars" selected), is there a way to make FF stop bumping the page up and down everytime I move the mouse to the top of the screen to reveal/hide the toolbar?

    In other words, is there a way to make FF behave like IE9 in full screen mode where the toolbar appears "over" the page rather than pushing the page down?

    Hello,
    Could you please elaborate what exactly you are referring to with "I can't get the link to diplay as a different colour"?
    Regarding your second query, I am afraid it is not possible using Adobe Muse. However it can be a very nice feature request.
    I would suggest you to post this as a feature request on our "Ideas for features in Adobe Muse" section of the forums : http://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas

  • Is there a way to make it automatically set the ouputs of new tracks to Bus 5? (or something other than Stereo Out?)

    When I add a new track, it is automatically set to Stereo Out, is there a way to make it automatically set to Bus 5?  I use a mix that sends everything through busses and every time I add a track it seems I have to adjust this.
    Thanks

    ...and/or setup one or more tracks the way you want.. and then create/save a template and load that when you want to start a new project...
    You can even have Logic (via it's Startup preferences) autoload that template every time you start a new project... by choosing your template as the default one.

  • Are there any ways to make sure FCPX saves the project before quitting?

    The other day when I was working on a project, Final Cut Pro did not save any changes I made for the last 3 hours. I lost all of my work. I understand that FCP is supposed to autosave  projects, but it didn't. Are there any ways to make sure that it saves before quitting? I am currently running the trial version 10.0.8, and I plan to upgrade to the full version, soon, provided there aren't too many bugs.

    It turns out it was a corrupted project. All other projects autosave before quitting, but that one always displays the same last modified time. I solved it by creating a brand new project.

  • Is there any way to be able to use the keyboard to play instruments?

    I know in garage band there's Musical Typing which allows you to use a certain set of keys to play the various intruments, but i don't know if you can or how to do that in logic express 8.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks.

    wooo.... i feel pretty dumb.
    but thank you VERY much.
    haha.

  • Is there a way to detect two keys at the same time?

    Is there a way to detect the keys if the user is holding two keys down at the same time?

    yes, but you'll have to check outside of the event loop (i.e. don't check for it in the keyPressed method).
    just use an array of keys that keeps track of which keys are currently down and which are up. you could use a boolean array but I use an int array because... Im not sure I've just done it probably because of my C background. anyway, basic setup:
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class MultiKey extends JFrame {
         int keys[];
         public MultiKey() {
              super();
              keys = new int[256];
              Arrays.fill(keys,0); // 0 = key is up
              enableEvents(AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK);
              show();
         public void processKeyEvent(KeyEvent e) {
              // the 0xff below binds the key code to below 256
              int key = (e.getKeyCode()&0xff);
              if (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_PRESSED) {
                   keys[key] = 1; // 1 = key is down
              else if (e.getID() == KeyEvent.KEY_RELEASED) {
                   keys[key] = 0; // 0 = key is up
         protected boolean isKeyDown(int key) {
              return (keys[key] != 0);
         protected boolean isKeyUp(int key) {
              return (keys[key] == 0);
    }so now at any time in your code you can check key state by using the isKeyUp and isKeyDown methods. this is about as close as you get to input polling in java unless you use LWJGL or something similiar ;)
    you can try out a full executable example at my site here - just open up the jar and start holding keys down :)
