GarageKey is designed for Apple's wonderful GarageBand software, and, because there has just not been a small, elegantly designed MIDI keyboard available that matches nicely with Apple's product styling, and is small enough to actually put somewhere on most desks. The existing keyboards are bulky, complicated designs that may be great for trained keyboard players. But, they just don't match up to the real needs of most Mac users who decide to begin experimenting with GarageBand. Starting on December 12th, that problem will be solved... with GarageKey.

The GarageKey USB-MIDI keyboard is the only keyboard on the market designed exclusively for use by Apple computer users desiring to have a small, elegantly styled keyboard for experimenting with Apple's popular GarageBand software. The GarageKey has 37 full-size, professional quality, velocity sensitive keys. It has octave up and down buttons discretely placed on the rear panel. And, it is plug and play compliant with OS X USB-MIDI. Its clear acrylic over bright white styling, and its bright white keys, are made to precisely match Apple's desktop styling.

If you have other music software besides GarageBand, for sequencing, recording, or notation, you will be pleased to know that the GarageKey is a fully class compliant MIDI controller that will work with any application that supports a USB-MIDI keyboard input.

It Has Legs!

The GarageKey has two detachable clear acrylic riser legs that can be installed underneath to lift the GarageKey about two-inches above your desk top. Why? Because, lifting it up allows sliding your Apple USB or Wireless keyboard up underneath the Garagekey. And, lifting it allows placing the GarageKey neatly between your keyboard and your display... and, just leaving it there.

• Part 3: Section 1: MIDI controllers

  Long live software instruments! Gone are the days when you needed a stack of keyboards to create tunes, as everything can now be done inside your computer at the click of a mouse. However, do you really want to be playing all of that software with a mouse? Wouldn’t you rather be doing it all with a proper piano type keyboard? Eh? So doesn’t that mean a return to piles of keyboard again, the very thing that software replaced? No! All you need is one keyboard to control every soft instrument you own! So you’d better make sure it’s a good one, right? Yes, and fortunately, or unfortunately depending on your viewpoint, there are loads of different sorts to choose from so we will discuss all of them here. And if you already own a keyboard but need extra control, don’t worry, because in Section 2 we’ll be looking at some keyboardless controllers that will enhance your desktop music making no end…
