Using GiO’s Transport buttons to control GarageBand

With GiO’s Transport buttons, you can record, play and move

the playhead in your Garageband song with your feet. GiO’s

Transport and Stompbox functions are automatically enabled once

GarageBand detects GiO as a MIDI input.

The behavior of each of GiO’s Transport buttons is described below:

Press Record to start recording on record-enabled tracks. If

you press Record again, recording will stop but playback will

continue.

Press the “Go to Beginning” button to move the playhead

to the start of the project. If you’ve set a cycle region, the

playhead will move to the start of the region.

Tap the Rewind button to move the playhead towards the

song start one measure (or a half-second, if absolute time is

selected as the song time). Press and hold down the Rewind

button to continually move the playhead.

Tap the Forward button to advance the playhead one

measure (or a half-second, if absolute time is selected as

the song time). Press and hold down the Rewind button to

continually advance the playhead.

Press the Play button to start or stop playback.
