Here's what I did. Alternative products and apps may be available but this worked for me 🙂
Oct 30, 2011 Therefore if you have the keyboard open in GarageBand and use an eDrum set, you will play piano notes when you hit the drums. Midi drum patches by default usually fall under the same note scheme. Certain notes are typically used for the same type of drum, I.e. A middle C Note will always trigger a kick drum (just a fictitious example). Mar 09, 2011 GarageBand turns your iPad, and iPhone into a collection of Touch Instruments and a full-featured recording studio — so you can make music anywhere you go. And with Live Loops, it makes it easy for anyone to have fun creating music like a DJ. Use Multi-Touch gestures to.

Drum Tracks For Garageband
- iRig Midi (physical device)
- MidiBridge (app)
Configuration:
- Connect the midi out of the Yamaha DTXplorer to the midi in of the iRig Midi
- Connect the iRig Midi to your iPad
- Now, here's the bit that made me think it was worth writing this post. The DTXplorer doesn't support custom midi mapping and it uses different midi notes than those used by GarageBand for iPad. To get around this you need to remap the incomming midi on the iPad using an app such as MidiBridge.
- In MidiBridge, connect the iRig input to the MidiBridge output
- Select the config icon on the iRig input and apply the Note Mapper. Here is what you need to remap to get things working
- Bass Drum: A0 (33) -> C1 (36)
- Low Tom: G1 (43) -> F1 (41)
- Mid Tom: B1 (47) -> A1 (45)
- Snare Drum: G0 (31) -> D1 (38)
- The rest are mapped properly by default
- In MidiBridge, you might want to save the configuration
- Open up GarageBand and drum away!
