# Turning Your iPad into a Midi Controller for GarageBand on Mac

<div class="document">

<p>What you need is a Midi controller app for iPad. For example, the following app costs 170 yen.</p>
<p>AirMidi
<a class="reference external" href="https://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/airmidi/id646384689?mt=8">https://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/airmidi/id646384689?mt=8</a></p>
<p>No need for Midi cables or connection interfaces.</p>
<p>For connection methods, I referred to another app's instructions here.
Connect through WiFi to your MAC | Beatsurfing
<a class="reference external" href="http://beatsurfing.net/connect-mac-wifi/">http://beatsurfing.net/connect-mac-wifi/</a></p>
<p>This app costs 1000 yen on the AppStore. It seems to be capable of creating a Midi controller.</p>
<p>In the example on this page, it creates an ad-hoc network, but you can also connect similarly via an access point.
The method is also described in the help section within the AirMidi app (text only).</p>
<p>When I tried using it, I found the latency to be quite high, making it difficult to use for live performances. However,
it seems perfectly fine for simple recording tasks in GarageBand.</p>
