Play a collection of highly expressive musical instruments designed for Multi-Touch that sound and play just like their real counterparts — but let you do things you could never do on a real instrument.

Drums
Tap out beats on three acoustic drum kits. The snare, kick, toms, hi-hat and cymbals each produce different tones depending on where and how hard you tap them.

Drum Machines
Play electronic drum kits by tapping “drum pads” inspired by a classic drum machine interface.

Keyboards
Select from several keyboards — a grand piano, an organ, a synthesizer — each with a unique sound, distinctive look and customisable performance characteristics. Hard taps are louder and soft taps quieter, just like on a real keyboard.

Synthesizers
Play over 70 modern and vintage synthesizer sounds — including synth strings, leads, basses and more. And use the Arpeggiator to create sophisticated riffs and melodies.

Enjoy a full range of Smart Instruments that make you sound like an expert musician. Even if you’ve never played a note before.

Smart Guitars
Strum chords on acoustic and electric guitars, trigger fingerpicking and strumming patterns or tap out your own riffs and melodies.

Smart Keyboards
Play a range of keyboard instruments by tapping on preselected chords that sound great together, no matter what you play.

Smart Bass
Perform bass lines and grooves simply by tapping on strings, or switch to Notes view to play individual notes on a virtual bass neck.

Smart Drums
Drag and drop snares, kicks and hi-hats to create your own beats, and effortlessly move them around to try out different patterns.

Custom Chords
Play chords chosen by GarageBand for your song, or customise your own chords from an extensive library.

Arrange and mix your songs anywhere inspiration strikes using a powerful eight-track recording studio that can handle any combination of audio recordings, Touch Instruments and loops.

Tracks
Create a song by trimming and arranging musical regions exactly where you want them to play. Swipe to reveal the mixer to fine-tune each track for the perfect mix.

Guitar Amps
Just plug in a guitar to access nine classic and modern virtual guitar amps. Touch gestures let you operate tone controls and a swipe switches you from one amp to the next.

Stompbox Effects
Choose from ten stompbox effects including distortion, echo and chorus. And add and reorder stompboxes to build your own pedalboard.

Audio Recorder
Record your voice or any acoustic sound using the built-in microphone on your device. Then apply any one of eight fun sound effects like Chipmunk, Robot, Telephone, Monster and more.
