I can't figure out how to edit the sustain in Garageband? Anyone? I've recorded some midi notes and want to edit them and add sustain or turn it on for those notes..

GarageBand for iPad is a deep and very affordable app suitable for musicians and tin-eared musical newbies alike. Much as they would with a real piano when you’ve depressed the sustain pedal. May 25, 2011  GarageBand for iPad Tutorial: Setting Up & Recording MIDI Keyboards With GarageBand for iPad we get some great keyboard sounds with nifty screen controls! For example, “Sustain” will be on piano but not organ, organ will have the “Rotary”.

• Do you need extra control? From a simple sustain pedal input to full-fledged control surface functions, iPad/iPhone keyboard controllers vary greatly in the amount of control they provide. Knobs, sliders, and transport controls are incredibly useful for controlling iOS DAWs and synth apps, and you can have a lot of fun with an X-Y pad too.
• General MIDI defines some portion of 128 CC#s 0 CC#1 is Modulation, CC#7 is Volume, CC#10 is Pan, CC#64 is Sustain Pedal, etc. Less than half of the 128 numbers are defined IIRC. The others were left undefined so manufacturers could make devices do other things for those numbers. But not all software follows the General MIDI standard.
• Apple GarageBand 1.3 (for iPad) remains a stunner, with excellent sound quality, expressive string instruments, and just enough note editing to be truly useful for composing and recording music.

• edited October 2017

  Garageband has quite limited editing capabilities but when using for example the 'Grand Piano' there is a line at the bottom called 'sustain'. Just enable the pen and draw the duration the sustain pedal is to be held down.

  The 'sustain line' is not shown unless the track contains recorded sustain events.
  It will appear when enabling the pen tool.

  thanks - I'll take a look tonight. I've seen it before sometimes, but not on this bit I need to edit.

  It's there for all 'keyboard' instruments at least (tried with keyboard and 'sampler').
  Garageband can record articulation & automation for most parameters for it's internal instruments but editing is limited. It's also very easy to turn any audio into a sampler-instrument (create a sampler track and drag the audio to it). I can't wait to see what Apple does with Garageband when it gets updated

Sustain Pedal Garageband Ipad 4

here is a little project for anybody wanting to make something fun, instead of the same old boring sustain pedal from the store.
I build mine at work, in between coats of paint ( bodyshop) it only took a couple hours. it’s basically the same thing as a tattoo machine pedal. essentially just a basic switch. lots of plans online for them.
I had some aluminum
laying around, and the black is car undercoat. a some little rubber isolators, and bolts little bit of wire and 1/4” mono jack
. and i put a little bullet casing inlay in for style.
if you guys make one post them online, i’d love to see.

Sustain Pedal Garageband Ipad 1

• Man I could never make one but I applaud you for doing so! 👏

• Mine. Credit to some random channel at yt.
  Upgrade needed: glue it to something more weight (wood or similar) to avoid lay it when I kick it.

  you totally could there’s really nothing to it.

  Now add Bluetooth MIDI and you've got a great companion for the iPad

• Glad you like it. We needed a cheap solution for friend’s studio and this emerged into my mind..

  that would be sweet. wish i was better at coding, i’d attempt it.

  Completely without coding:
  Combine this:
  https://www.thomann.de/gb/doepfer_we_wheel_electronic.htm
  with a Yahama MD-BT01 or Quicco mi.1 and you've got the basis for not only a programmable foot switch, but also more analog inputs for pitch bender, mod wheel, volume pedal etc, all over MIDI

• i have one of these https://www.audiofront.net/MIDIExpression.php
  I have an analog exspression pedal
  i plug it into this usb interface and i can instantly
  control midi cc in my computer. I use it mainly for a way pedal in amplitube software. but i have also used it as a velocity or expression control in many synths, samplers, and effects apps.
  it’s actually a pretty brilliant little device

• Aaahh the code dilema..
