2 Tips for Using GarageBand Jam Pack 1 Instruments
Organization of Drum Kit Sounds
The sounds in the Jam Pack 1 drum kits are organized across the keyboard in the following
general order:
• Notes below C0: Miscellaneous sounds relevant to the genre.
• Notes C0 to C1: Alternate drum kit sounds.
• Notes C1 to B2: Standard drum kit sounds, including kick drum, snare, hi-hats, ride cymbals,
crash cymbals, and toms.
• Notes C3 to A#3: Basic Latin percussion, including bongo, congas, timbales and agogo.
• Notes B3 to D#5: More Latin and other exotic percussion, including triangle, wood block,
claves, guiro, and cuica.
• Notes above D#5: Sound effects and other miscellaneous sounds.
Note: On most smaller music keyboards, you can access higher and lower octaves using the
keyboard’s octave up and octave down controls. See the instructions that came with your
keyboard.
Drum Kit Effects
Most Jam Pack 1 drum kits include optional effects commonly applied to drum tracks in the kit’s
genre. When you select the track with one of the drum kits, these effects appear in the Details
area of the Track Info window, but are turned off. You can turn them on by clicking the checkbox
next to each effect.
Guitars
Jam Pack 1 features both acoustic and electric guitars, including a 12-string acoustic guitar, with a
special instrument that plays major and minor chords.
