Default Garageband: Musical Typing Question

Hi. Is there a way to map sounds to certain keys in the Musical Typing
window? When using the rock drum kit, the kick, snare and high-hat
aren't close on the keyboard. This makes it impossible to play all three
sounds in the same Musical Typing window. Is there any solution?

Thanks,
-Adam

I tried to imagine this being a problem, but failed. How many fingers do you
deploy when opeating a keyboard?

I don't have a keyboard, which is why I use the Musical Typing option.
Someone told me that you can drag external files onto the keys in the
Musical Typing window. Does anyone know what the sample files are
located in?

I don't use Garage Band, but look to see if it has some type of 'mapping'
feature where you can customize each key.
If worse comes to worse, just RTFM

Let me rephrase the question: how many fingers are you using when typing, an
average hand can reach any two keys over two thirds of an average COMPUTER
KEYBOARD.

which, is why I use the Musical Typing option.

"Someone told me" or "They say" are wordings that should lead you to
rethink. If you read on the net you will see "theysays" that people use as
basis for large purchases without ever verifying, those wordings are major
caveats to me. And have so been since a friend of mine - who is into
classical location recording - bought quite expensive active monitors that
are well liked and suitable in another context, in his they just couldn't
position the members of a violin and piano duo in the same perceived room
even if reocrded with 4006's.

He purchased them because "they say" they are good and he sold them a an
unavoidable loss after he learned that they were in his context no good.
Fine speakers for listening to and balancing a rock mix at a level not
imagined possible from so small a box, just not made for rendering a strad
and a steinway in a room. The "theysay" was not ""wrong"", it just didn't
fit his musical context. Do not rely on the "theysay", do your own homework
and verify that it applies!

What does the software say when you hit function key [F1]?

Thanks,


-Adam
