Operational Overview iControl is used to control various aspects of GarageBand including transport and track parameters. iControl is designed to control eight tracks simultaneously, but can be used with songs over eight tracks in size. When controlling a song with more than eight tracks, you'll need to use the Track/ Parameter buttons to select the tracks you wish to control. Furthermore, when editing specific parameters, such as certain generators and effects, you may have more than eight parameters to control, and in this situation, you will use the Track/Parameter buttons to select the parameters you want to change. Below is a simple walk-through of how to use iControl: Working with All Tracks When pressing the Volume or Pan button, iControl will be in All Tracks mode. In this mode, each horizontal row of controls on iControl corresponds to a horizontal track in GarageBand. You will be able to use the rotary encoders to change the Volume or Pan of the tracks, depending on whether you've pressed the Volume or Pan buttons. If you have more than eight tracks in your song, you can move up and down through the tracks using the Track/Parameter buttons. You will see the selector graphic in GarageBand move to the appropriate tracks as you press these buttons. Once you've changed your selection, the horizontal rows of iControl will control these new tracks. 6 iControl Working with Selected Tracks Thankfully, GarageBand gives you more control over your music besides volume and pan. You also have access to, e. g. , EQ and effects. These additional functions are accessed through iControl one track at a time. The five buttons--Generator, Track Info, EQ, Effect 1, and Effect 2--compose the Selected Track's functions. That is, you will use the eight rotary encoders to control multiple parameters of the currently selected track. In this mode, you will use Track/Parameter buttons to select a group of eight parameters to work on, and you will use the Select Buttons to select the specific track you want to edit. For example, press the Select Button on track 2, then press the Effect 1 button. The Effect 1 for track 2 will be shown on screen. Now, the rotary encoders will be used to adjust the various effect parameters. You can also use the Track/Parameter buttons to select additional parameters, if the effect has more than eight parameters. Please note: in the Track Info mode the Track/Parameter buttons are not assigned. The Select buttons are used to turn specific functionalities of the selected track on or off. Master Controls The Transport buttons, Jog wheel, and Master Volume control all work regardless of what track(s) are selected. The Transport buttons and Master Volume behave exactly like those in GarageBand. The Jog Wheel can be used to move through your song.
