GarageBand for iPad features
Touch Instruments – Play a collection of musical instruments designed for Multi-Touch designed to sound and play like their real counterparts.

• Drums – Tap out beats on three acoustic drum kits. The snare, kick, toms, hi-hat, and cymbals each produce different tones depending on where and how hard you tap them.
• Drum Machines – Play electronic drum kits by tapping “drum pads” inspired by a classic drum machine interface.
• Keyboards – Select from several keyboards — a grand piano, an organ, a synthesizer — each with their own sound, look, and customizable performance characteristics. Hard taps are louder and soft taps quieter.
• Synthesizers – Play 70 modern and vintage synthesizer sounds — including synth strings, leads, basses, and more. Use the Arpeggiator to create melodies and soundscapes with a single finger.

Smart Instruments

• Smart Guitars – Strum chords on acoustic and electric guitars, trigger fingerpicking and strumming patterns, or tap out your own riffs and melodies.
• Smart Keyboards – Play a range of keyboard instruments by tapping on preselected chords that sound great together, no matter what you play.
• Smart Bass – Perform bass lines and grooves by tapping on strings, or switch to Notes view to play individual notes on a virtual bass neck.
• Smart Drums – Drag and drop snares, kicks, and hi-hats to create your own beats, and move them around to try out different patterns.

Recording Studio – Arrange and mix your songs using an eight-track recording studio that can handle a combination of audio recordings, Touch Instruments, and loops.

• Tracks – Create a song by trimming and arranging musical regions where you want them to play. Swipe to reveal the mixer to fine-tune each track for the perfect mix.
• Guitar Amps – Plug a guitar into your iPad to access nine classic and modern virtual guitar amps. Touch gestures let you operate tone controls and a swipe switches you from one amp to the next.
• Stompbox Effects – Choose from ten stompbox effects. Add and reorder stompboxes on your own pedalboard.
• Audio Recorder – Record your voice or an acoustic sound using the built-in microphone on iPad. Then apply one of eight sound effects like Chipmunk, Robot, Telephone, Monster, and more.
