Double–tapping brings up settings for that cell, such as length, quantisation, reverse, and the playback speed. When the Edit Cells button (bottom–left) is enabled, you can tap a cell to bring up various clipboard controls, or press Edit to adjust the loop, which is especially useful if it’s MIDI.
As you might expect, you can tap cells to play and stop them, or tap one of the column triggers along the bottom to play all cells in a given column. Cells can be either audio or MIDI, but once you have a cell of one type on a row, all other cells on that row must be of the same type. To add a loop to a cell, select it and tap again to choose an existing loop or use an Instrument to create a new one - over 1200 new Apple Loops and sounds have apparently been added to this update. Live Loops displays a grid of cells, with each cell representing a loop. These provide you with something to play around with immediately, although you can also choose an empty template. If you select Live Loops, rather than seeing a carousel of Instruments, you’ll be presented with a selection of templates named after musical styles, such as EDM, Dubstep, and others that would make me feel equally old just for typing.
When you start a new Song, you now have the option to use Tracks (as before) or the new Live Loops. Released the day before the Winter NAMM 2016 show began, GarageBand 2.1 does indeed support the iPad Pro, but it also has new features to benefit all users. However, the iPad Pro’s display showed both Track and Instrument views simultaneously - something not possible with the then–current version - so it seemed as though a new version of GarageBand would shortly arrive. The Instrument view shows Arturia’s iSEM running as an Audio Unit.ĭuring the introduction of the iPad Pro in September 2015, Phil Schiller, Apple’s SVP of Worldwide Marketing, commented how the device’s larger screen can make it an “amazing musical instrument”, showing a slide of GarageBand running on the company’s newest iPad. GarageBand 2.1 now takes advantage of the larger screen real–estate of the iPad Pro, allowing you to use the Tracks and Instrument views simultaneously.
