- How to Use Real Musical Instruments with GarageBand on Your iPad By MacLife 13 February 2012 It’s time to plug a real instrument into GarageBand to see what it can do.
- The Alchemy synth is available on iPhone 6 or later, iPad Pro, iPad (5th generation), iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4. Multitrack recording requires a compatible third‑party audio interface. Sharing to Facebook and YouTube requires iMovie. Requires an Apple Music Connect account. GarageBand is available on the App Store. IOS 11 required.

Tracks view shows a representation of musical time moving from left to right. Each Touch Instrument has a track where its recordings appear as colored regions. The playhead moves across the ruler as the song plays, showing the part currently playing. You can move the playhead to hear a different part of the song. You can also zoom and scroll in Tracks view.
Open Tracks view
Tap the Tracks View button in the upper-left part of the control bar.
The Tracks View button is available after you make the first Touch Instrument recording in a song.
