In GarageBand, can several tracks be played simultaneously?

I’m wondering if it’s possible to have multiple tracks record enabled in GarageBand for iOS? That is specifically instances of software instrument.

    I mean, you can turn on multitrack recording in the settings. If you have things routed with IAA, it should record. It always seemed like more of a hassle to try to do it at once.

    Ok. But in app without any hardware controls, is it possible to play several tracks at the same time from one internal keyboard?

    No, internal keyboard is associated with one track/instrument only.
    One instrument => one keyboard

    Not even with an external. It's not even easy to quick switch instruments, like playing from track view with the instrument highlighted. It needs to be "opened" up to receive live input. Unless it was changed recently, the whole setup is not very user friendly.

    Agreed, as far as I know. I wouldn't say it's not user friendly, it's definitely very user friendly, it's just not -advanced- user friendly.

    Ok. Like I guessed. That’s not very good 😕

    However, can any other DAW do this or is there another solution? What I want to do to be precise is to play on several instances of AudioLayer at the same time.

    When multi-track recording is enabled in GarageBand it can record audio from multiple inputs to multiple tracks.

    Yes, in AUM, you can have any midi source playing multiple instruments or use a multitrack like Atom or Xequence. Or route your input to multiple channels.
