Use percussion performance patches in GarageBand on Mac

Blocks & Bells: The velocity you play triggers different playing techniques such as muted, stick and mallet strikes. There is no performance key mapping in this instrument.

Bongos and Bongos Stick: The velocity you play triggers different playing techniques, such as fingertips, open palm or thumb strikes.

Cajon: The velocity you play triggers different playing techniques, such as open palm or fingertips. There is no performance key mapping in this instrument.

Claps & Snaps: The velocity you play triggers different playing techniques, such as group size and timing. There is no performance key mapping in this instrument.

Congas and Congas Bright: The performance key uses the velocity you play to trigger three playing techniques. If you play the key at low velocity (softly), the Conga Mute technique is triggered. Moderate velocity triggers the Conga Open technique and high velocity (playing hard) triggers the Conga Slap technique.

Shakers 1 and 2: The performance key triggers different shaker speed techniques based on playing velocity. In addition, pressing and releasing the performance key triggers different shaker forward and backward techniques, just like the movement of real shaker players.

Tambourines: The Tambourines performance triggers different techniques, such as shake speed variations, when you play at different velocities. It also offers different movement techniques (forward/backward) when you play a note or pull your finger off of a note.

Timbales: The velocity you play is used to trigger different playing techniques, such as stick strokes, rim shots and rolls.
