Garageband Ipad Note Editor

GarageBand User Guide for iPad

You can edit notes in green Touch Instrument regions. The editor is like a close-up version of Tracks view, showing the notes in the region as rectangular bars. When you open the editor, you can change the pitch, length (duration), and velocity of individual notes. For some instruments, you can also change the articulation of notes, or the instrument that plays the note. Notes in blue regions cannot be edited.
