Velocity: The C and V keys allow you to change to velocity (how hard the note is struck) of your chosen instrument sound.Īll that’s left for you to do is hit record and start playing! It can take a bit of getting used to, especially if you have larger fingers (my big fat fingers seem incapable of playing anything but the simplest melodies in Musical Typing), but you’ll soon get the hang of it. Octave: Use the Z and X keys to shift octaves for lower or higher pitched notes. Garageband presents them in a way that corresponds to a single octave (C3 to C4 by default) on a Piano keyboard. Sustain: You can toggle sustain on and off with the Tab key.īlack and White Keys: These are the keys you’ll use to create your melody. The effect will differ depending on the instrument you have selected. Modulation: Keys 3 through 8 will add a set amount of modulation to the note/s played. Pitch Bend: You can use the 1+2 keys to adjust the pitch of whatever note/s you are playing in real time.
The Musical Typing window will appear in all it’s glory! Next, click on “Show Musical Typing” (Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut ⌘+K) To open Musical Typing, first click on “Window” in the toolbar at the top of your screen.
What Musical Typing essentially allows you to do is use the keys on your Mac’s keyboard to play notes, chords and melodies. Luckily Garageband has an ingenious built in solution – Musical Typing.
