Merge tracks in GarageBand for iPad. You can merge (or bounce) any number of unmuted tracks in a song. This can be useful if you reach the maximum number of tracks for a song, but want to add more Touch Instruments. When you merge tracks, the tracks are replaced with a single track containing a stereo audio file in a new copy of the song.
To select a single channel, simply press the button corresponding to the channel. This will remove all existing selections, and find the largest default preset that can be fit on the main grid.
Presets come in 3 different sizes: short (4×4), tall (4×8) and grande (8×8)<sup>

. Multiple presets can have the same size, but only one preset can be default per size.

To select multiple channels to be laid out, press the corresponding buttons in a chord. This way you can select to 4 channels.
So what is a chord? In a chord you press buttons so you only release the first after you pressed the last one. The order of presses matter, however the order of releases does not. Now, instead of writing down how the exact layout algorithm works, I just show you the four different layouts that is generated for 1 (single channel), 2, 3 and 4 note chords. Once more the algorithm will fill out the spaces with the largest default preset.
This means that e.g. if you press down D3-D2-S1 in this chord sequence, - D3 will be mapped to block 1 with the default tall preset, - D2 will be mapped to block 2 with the default short preset and - S1 will be mapped to block 3 with the default short preset.

Now you might ask: “But what if I don't want to use the largest default preset?”
After a channel has been laid out you can cycle between all the presets that can fit into its space. This won't reflow the layout, even if you end up using a smaller preset. To cycle between presets - press Ctrl + Channel Selector to cycle forward, - press Shift + Channel Selector to cycle backward or - press Ctrl + Shift + Channel Selector to revert to default.
The cycling order is the following: - primary: large to small - secondary: default then all others in fixed but not specified order.
See, not that complicated after all. Let's see the actual presets that are featured out of the box:
default | ||
---|---|---|
grande | GRANDE is currently the only grande layout. | |
tall | TALL is the default tall layout. | JUGGLER is a tall layout optimized for beat jumping. |
short | SHORT is the default short layout. | SAMPLER is an all-cue short layout for samplers. |
