HELP... Connect Korg nanopad to Garageband

[blacktape242]

I need the idiot guide to setting my new korg nanopad to garage band so i can do my own drum beats.

I have already downloaded the driver / patch for garageband but i still cant get any sound. I also looked at the input midi section of the prefs, again with no luck.

can anymore give me the detail process to get this up and working please?


thanks in advance!

The first thing to do is open up your Audio MIDI Setup which is in your utilities folder. Click on the MIDI tab and check you can see the nanopad listed there.

It shouldn't really need drivers but if you cant see it listed try re-installing or trying a different usb lead. If it shows up then it is a question of configuring garageband.

I don't use it myself but if your nano shows up in Audio MIDI setup then it will be automatically seen by Garageband.

It should just be a question of selecting a software drum machine with sounds corresponding to the midi notes your nanopad is sending out.

I used to have the nanopad and had no problems getting it to work with GarageBand. I had loads of problems with the nanopad itself but that's another story.

not sure whats going on here but its frustrating.

what problems with the nanopad have you had?

with GB, did you just plug and play?

I loaded the driver from the Korg website and plugged the nanopad in. GarageBand recognised it as a MIDI controller so I was able to use it with the software drum kits.

I (and many other people) had problems with a number of the pads not working. I managed to get a replacement which I sold on eBay and replaced it with a Boss DR-670.
