Yes. If the software supports midi it will support this device. But I suggest just saving up a little more for an mpk25 or one of the other keyboard/drum pad combos. Also I was dissatisfied with the sensitivity of the pads themselves. Ended up reselling mine on craigslist within 2 months of buying it.

The MIDI controller will work. The included software runs on Windows and Mac.

glad you asked that. you need too much. soo much i dont even know.I never got it working, had to stick with my original. Make sure you get one with a usb if its for garageband. Other than that you need a whole program.

I am not sure about GarageBand, but it's definitely compatible with LogicPro 9, which is what I have. Logic detects it with no problems.

I use it with a mac - it sends standard midi controller messages over usb to either platform.

I don't think you need the software to run it on a mac. Pretty much any Mac-based music software will recognize the interface.

I would believe so, I use it on my Mac for Garageband and Ableton. I would think it would work, but I don't have a computer with windows 8 to be 100% sure. Sorry I couldn't more concrete.

I am guessing that it will work with Macs, but not with the software on the included CD. You would probably have to download a Mac-friendly capture and edit program (I use Audacity version 2.05 on the same OS, 10.6.8, with a USB turntable) -- this is the option I am considering.

Yes, it can be connected to a Mac or iPad and used with Garageband, or to a Windows computer and used with DAW software.

Hello - I have a partial answer. Yes, it can be used with Audacity. I actually use Audacity to record my audio when creating eLearning courses and this works perfectly. I have never used garage band and I don't have a macbook, sorry.

I will assume your machine is the iPad 1, or original iPad. The product works with various apps including the amplitube and the jam up app, which is awesome. I also used it with the GarageBand through the Mac and it works great. Just keep in mind how to plug in the product and it should work. In my experience no other software was needed. Now the apps that I mentioned are not cheap, there are some free versions, and are great for practice, maybe. To me the best of the apps was jamup but is not cheap at all. Get the free version first and see for yourself. To answer the question, I would say try to update the ipad1 to the iOS 8.1.2, and go to the App Store to try out the apps.

I know it can be used with audacity, because that's what I use. I've seen other reviews where people have used it with garage band, and it worked perfectly fine. and I use windows so I have no idea if it will work with the older MacBook, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

Yes. The Casio Privia series, including this model, all have Class-compliant USB MIDI, allowing the Privia to be used with Mac or Windows computers without the need to download drivers. Essentially, you should be able to "plug and play" with Garageband.

It should work OK. However I experienced latency problems with GarageBand on my iMac.Not sure if this would happen with other software or platforms.

I have used a roland e-kit, and a yamaha dd55 into garageband and a couple other drum programs on the ipad with very little problem. Had to adjust a midi note assignment here and there, but other than, it was pretty much plug and play for me.

No this is an output device only. For an input, you need a pre-amp device. I highly recommend the Roland Quad or Octacpture series. Not sure how many input you need. I am assuming you are using a Mac since you asked about Garageband. The Zoom TAC2 is also a nice device.
