SkillShare Mobile Studio Magic Garageband for iPad Instrument focus Sampler TUTORiAL

In this class, you'll be working with the Sampler instrument - which hasn't changed much at all since the first version of the Garageband App. It's an instrument that can sample or load any sound you like and lets you play that sound on a keyboard at different pitches. There's also a few ways that you can manipulate the sound including taking advantage of some Smart keyboard features like the chord strips and arpeggiator.
