Is it compatible with garageband for Mac? My mac don't recognise it. Do I need some kind of driver or anything like that?

I bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas and I was embarrassed that it was so cheesy. No, it has no midi interface so it is not compatible with anything. It operates off its own sound card. The only driver you need is the one who drives the trash truck.

Nothis 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.

I have not seen any place that says this is MAC compatible nor does Genius' website (http://www.geniusnet.com) list a compatible driver for this unit.

I don't think you've given enough information. What software do you want to use this with (e.g., Garage Band)? What kind of computer? If you're expecting sound to come out of the keyboard, it won't, it will come out of the computer.

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.

Yo. Yes, it's a class compliant midi device, and is compatable with both mac, PC, and iOS. It just works. Doesn't need drivers or anything extra for any OS. Highly recommended.

I am sorry I am a PC not a MAC But if you call Roland they can tell you the correct version that does run on the MAC. I know the one I have has a MAC installer but with your version I would hate to say yes and be wrong and have you pay for something you cannot use. CAGMisfits

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.

We purchased a Mac and use Garage Band to do our recordings. You can get a refurbished Mac for just a few hundred dollars and the Garage Band software will probably already be installed on it.

I don't own a mac, so I'm not sure. I use this with Sony Acid Music studio program.

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.

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 don't see why not. It's compatible with Mac and the computer sees it as another sound card. You will have to assign Garage Band via the software's properties. I own four of these and use them on PCs in radio and production studios. Ultra clean and reliable.

Yes it is. Just plug it in and it will just work, just like a mac :) Drag and drop the sound files to wherever you want. It really is that simple.

Midi output will work with Garage Band provided you have a midi interface for the Mac.

You need a MIDI compatible sound program - like Logic, GarageBand, or the like to provide a 'voice' for the unit. It's just a controller, not an instrument in it's own right.

No setup is necessary for those who use OS X. You plug in the USB cable and you are all set. It is the advantage of class-compliant USB MIDI devices. If in doubt, try it with GarageBand, which is included in your Mac OS X. If you are talking about customizing the control number or arpeggiator, use KORG KONTROL Editor.
