Yes, this is the perfect keyboard for garage band. It has the best keys in it's price range

Yes indeed, this is a class-compliant MIDI device, and is compatible with any program capable of receiving MIDI signals from a controller. It requires no drivers to work with any version of Windows or Mac. This includes 64 bit operating systems, Windows 8, and Mac OSX Snow Leopard.

Yes! But you'll need a usb/midi interface and you need to assign the pedals as hotkeys for whatever you want it to do. I haven't tried it with GarageBand but I know it works with logic

Yes,,,, the maudio keyboard will work with any program that uses midi controllers,.. do the question would be, dies garage band support midi controller devices

Yes. I don't personally use Garage Band, but my friend (who also owns the yeti) uses it with Garage Band all the time. It should be compatible.

This unit by itself doesn't make any sounds. It is known as a "Controller" so you need to plug it into either a keyboard or a computer that has MIDI or other sounds built into a program (such as Garage Band) and you can generate sounds that way. If you are not familiar with how a keyboard is used as a controller, I would avoid this unit. If you can plug it into a keyboard or computer program, it is very easy to use. However it is a very complex unit, capable of a lot ... once you get over the first hurdle of connecting it to an existing sound creations source for it to control.

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

It works great on a Mac. I use Logic Pro, MainStage, & sometimes garageband on a 2014 Mac book pro 17" 2009 and a Mac book pro 15" late model 2013 with retina. Awesome little switch!

I've been using it with windows 7 and Cubase and it works fine, it doesn't give me trouble, but if you are not sure about buying it, try something from TASCAM... those are great for everything which is against pro tools, mac and stuff like that...

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 just tried pairing it with my powerbook Mac laptop. I am running I think one of the latest versions of OSX.When trying to pair it, It said it could not identify Keyboard. then it ask me to press the button to the right and left of the shift keys. When I pressed the botton to the left of the shift key(up arrow) nothing happened. So I pressed the (/) key instead and the keyboard was now paired. I thought this meant that it would not be paired correctly but I tried most of the buttons on the keyboard and it works fine. So yes it works with the laptop just not as smoothly as one might hope for. Yet I have not detected any problems. I just tried pairing it with my powerbook Mac laptop.

I saw that there is garageband support with a plugin, check here: http://www.roland.com/support/article/?q=downloads&p;=A-300PRO&id;=44382538

I actually picked it up for just this purpose but I can't get it to work with my MacBook Pro. Its strange though, as it sees the microphone, but I cant record any audio with it. It could be that I've just got a setting wrong somewhere. Anyone have any suggestions?

That should work fine. I use mine to connect a Presonus 16.4.2 mixer to the iPad so I can view a solo'd channel in Studio Six's Audiotools. No reason that shouldn't work for Garage Band as well.

It does work for Mac. Anything that is a "class-compliant MIDI controller" will work for any computer operating system as long as there are USB ports. I use it on my 2012 iMac with Logic Pro 9 sometimes. This device was not designed to be used with Logic, but there are programs to use it with on Mac. It was originally designed for use with Ableton, and that program has a Mac version. It cannot make sounds at all. It controls software that makes sound. You should research the software first. It comes with some synths, and it can be used with the Launchpad app on iPad. Professionals are going to use it to perform music live, loop clips, trigger samples, and in some cases as a production tool.

To be honest with you I buy too many things from Amazon, like PCs, Macs, and every product Apple makes. I have 4 wireless keyboards, and two track pads. I never use PC products on Apple, because that's the way Mac products are built. But after reading your question I researched and found out that tack pad does work on PCs, with some limitations like no Right click, etc. I'm attaching a link to an article which probably is the best, and has link to many articles like on CNET. I was even successful in making it work (I'm a Doctor). Installing a track pad driver will even make it easier. Stick to one article, but be open to other options. It should work, it's so much fun on Macs. Good Luck! To be honest with you I buy too many things from Amazon, like PCs, Macs, and every product Apple makes.

I don't use FL Studio I use Cakewalk, Sonor and Music Creator 6 and it works well with all of them. I use it mostly for playback on my laptop which I use live with midi tracks played back through the Roland Virtual Sound canvas or the Roland TTS1 Virtual Canvas software. I can't see any reason why it wouldn't work with FL Studio. It took some time to set up but my son helped me with it (he understood it better than I did).

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.
