Garageband for iPad, ALL The New Chinese Instruments & Live Loops
Apple have done it again with Garageband and made it even better and still with a free update.
This update brings us Chinese Instruments and Loops, they are to be honest simply exceptional.
They sound great and they play great.
I particularly like the new Chinese drum kit, it’s stunning, but then again it all is.
Great job with update which also includes two new Live Loops projects, Chinese Traditional and Chinese Modern.

Another great video show Doug. Apple have done an excellent job of this. Total Fab!..... But it's a bloody shame Apple will not update GarageBand as an IAA sound generator into other apps.......Considering they pioneered IAA in the first place(I think?)....
That's just fantastic. But it really does kind of undermine those of us who thought we were clever by recording erhu players on the subway and thinking that sound was unusual in our music!
Ok who's planning on slicing up GarageBand loops in Blocs Wave? I know I am. If my memory serves me they tend to be a lot more melodic than the melodies in Blocs.
Oooo yeah - that's a good idea!
There are some tricks to playing the Chinese drums. If you play with two fingers you get repeating notes, and they get faster and slower depending on the difference between your fingers. This works on the big drum in the middle (Da Gu), the five little ones (Pai Gu), and the 5 Mu Yu and the woodblock Bang Zi. If you drag your finger around the Da Gu, you get a rattle sound. There are nice cymbal rubs if you hold your finger down and move in a circle.
More info in the help menu.
Then again maybe this is a mood setter to prepare the way for the iOS introduction of Logic?
By the way, I’m getting all the Chinese instruments on my iPad 2. Not live loops, of course, as live loops are not compatible, but the instruments are there. I remember spending a week in Hong Kong in the late 70s as a teenager passing through, and all the market traders etc had little transistor radios listening to this sort of stuff. At the time I dismissed it as bizarre non-music, how could anyone listen to this rubbish? But they all were — crinkly old men and women, with little pocket transistor radios, playing this sort of stuff, everywhere I went. It seemed so backward to have stringed instruments that were built with no attempt at lengthening the sustain of notes. Maybe if they’d used steel strings and a proper truss rod in the neck, and put some pickups on, and paid attention to impedance, etc. Funny how our perspective changes in life. Now my ukulele practice is mostly notes intentionally muffed by my palm, which would have sounded so awkward to the teenage me.
