Adjusting keyboard sensitivity
Different music keyboards you can use with GarageBand have different amounts of “sensitivity.” A keyboard’s sensitivity affects how hard you have to press the keys on the keyboard to play the highest velocity level of a Software Instrument.
If you use a music keyboard to play Software Instruments, you can increase the keyboard sensitivity, so that playing softer produces higher velocity levels, or decrease the sensitivity, so that higher velocity levels are produced only when you play harder.
To adjust keyboard sensitivity:
- Choose GarageBand > Preferences, then click Audio/MIDI.
- Drag the Keyboard Sensitivity slider left to increase sensitivity, or drag it right to decrease sensitivity.
You can also edit the velocity level of notes in Software Instrument regions. For information on editing velocity and other controller information, see Related Topics below.
