Keyboard tip #1: turn on note name labels! Did you know that this was possible in the GarageBand app? True confession time: I only found out recently, too. The option to turn note names on or off is a little hidden. You’ll need to go to your overall iPad Settings and scroll down until you can see the GarageBand app in the list on the left. You can connect a compatible Bluetooth® MIDI device to your iPad, and use it to play and control Touch Instruments in GarageBand. Tap the Settings button in the control bar. Tap Advanced, then tap Bluetooth MIDI Devices. Tap the name of the device you want to connect, then tap the Connect switch on.
