Using iRig Keys with Garage Band. - Live.
Hi. I just purchased iRig Keys. I am going to use it with my iPad live at gigs to play the Garage Band Electric Pianos / Rhodes and the Garage Band Organs - Hammond B3s. Just the way I would if I had an actual Rhodes and a Hammond B3 on stage.
What's cool about Garage Band ( I never use it for recording......who would ?! )
is that these Garage Band instruments have a scale choice tab bottom right. That means that if I select Minor Blues scale,
ANY note or chord I play on the iPad keyboard in Garage Band is either going to be a note - or harmonised chord of that scale !
So cool for Blues solos and I've sacked our keyboard player - not really.
Problem I am having is - that DOESN'T happen when I play the iRig Keyboard. ??? What'sUp ?
I thought the data would immediately transfer to and happen to BOTH keyboards, as I was told by the Music shop where I purchased it. Am I doing something wrong ?

OK, so what do you want to happen if you play a 'wrong' note on the iRig Keys (eg. you play the D# key when a C Major scale is selected)? For there to be no sound at all, or for it to be forced to the next available note in the scale you've picked (so in my earlier example, that D# would become an E)?
Garageband's scales are only applied to the iPad's own control surface as far as I know, but I'm wondering exactly what response you want from the iRig keys when you play a duff note.
The salesman was incorrect. The irig inputs information, it does not receive output. It's possible that another app besides GarageBand would not allow any other note to be played outside the scale you select, but I don't know.
One solution may be to learn how to play keyboard, then you'd know which notes to hit. I say that as a bassist who only barely plays some chords on a keyboard and fumbles around synth bass lines. But the more I fumble, the less I fumble if you follow what I mean.
You may want to explore controller options such as soundprism or Musix which would let you play only chords in the key using a non keyboard type interface. They both work really well.
As for GarageBand, there are plenty of people who record with it. There's also plenty who use other tools.
Thumbjam can probably do what you are looking for. It's sampled instruments are amazing in their own right, but you could just play into Thumbjam and then send the midi to GarageBand if you really like those instruments/ interface.
