Jun 13, 2011 MIDI Sustain-Use the sustain feature to hold out MIDI notes for the same length of time. The sustain is helpful for editing a melody that has lots of single notes rather than chords. Oct 09, 2014 GarageBand for iPad and iPhone is packed with innovative features. We get jiggy and explain how to get to grips with it. Sustain is like a sustain pedal on a piano, so enabling it makes notes. Aug 14, 2011 Keep the Sustain on in GarageBand (without a foot pedal). The sustain while recording your MIDI notes in GarageBand for Mac. I highly recommend getting a sustain pedal for your MIDI keyboard. The Polarity of the sustain pedal is determined by the keyboard upon startup. When the Keystation is powering up, the sustain pedal is assumed to be in the Up (Off) position. It is important that the sustain pedal is not pressed during startup, otherwise the pedal will reverse its operation, and notes will sustain when the pedal is not pressed. Although not everything about it is completely obvious, it is absolutely worth it to spend time playing around with and discovering new tricks and settings, that aid or streamline the music writing process. That being said, if there is anything about GarageBand that I don’t like, it is the sustain pedal glitch. A big surprise, however, was the recognition of the expression pedal from the Novation (and the sustain pedal - less surprisingly) and seemingly the channel aftertouch, which had me squealing filters using the key pressure. Overall, despite many criticisms from people, I am very happy with Garage Band for keyboard and MIDI.

Garageband For Ipad Air

    Garageband has quite limited editing capabilities but when using for example the 'Grand Piano' there is a line at the bottom called 'sustain'. Just enable the pen and draw the duration the sustain pedal is to be held down.

    The 'sustain line' is not shown unless the track contains recorded sustain events.
    It will appear when enabling the pen tool.

    thanks - I'll take a look tonight. I've seen it before sometimes, but not on this bit I need to edit.

    It's there for all 'keyboard' instruments at least (tried with keyboard and 'sampler').
    Garageband can record articulation & automation for most parameters for it's internal instruments but editing is limited. It's also very easy to turn any audio into a sampler-instrument (create a sampler track and drag the audio to it). I can't wait to see what Apple does with Garageband when it gets updated
