What is Garageband?
GarageBand is a whole music creation studio right inside your Mac — with a complete sound library that includes software instruments, presets for guitar and voice, and virtual session drummers. An intuitive interface makes it easy to learn, play, record, create, and share your hits worldwide. It’s never been easier to make music like a pro. Garageband is not available for Windows.

Setup in Garageband
Connecting your MPK mini mkII to Garageband is a quick process:
- First, connect your MPK mini mkII to an available USB port on your computer. The MPK mini mkII should power on automatically.
- Locate the Garageband icon on your taskbar or in your Applications folder and click it to open the software.
- Once Garageband is open, select Empty Project.
- Select Software Instrument from the available options.
- Garageband will then open up a new project with a Classic Electric Piano on the first track.
- Garageband will recognize your MPK mini mkII automatically, so hit some of the keys to hear some electric piano!
Downloading and authorizing the included plugins
The MPK mini mkII comes bundled with two plugins to further expand your sound library. These plugins can be opened as a software instrument inside of Garageband.
To access these plugins, you will first need to create an Akai account and register your MPK mini mkII. Once registered, there will be download links and authorization codes.

Mapping your MPK mini mkII knobs
While Garageband does not have a MIDI learn feature, you can still use the MPK mini mkII knobs by mapping them to control parameters inside of Hybrid and/or Wobble.
Hybrid
- Open the Hybrid plugin interface as described above.
- With the interface open, select a parameter. In this case, I will be mapping the Shape knob under the category OSC 1.
- Hold down the Control key on your keyboard, and then click on the knob. You will see a list of options appear.
- Select the Learn CC option.
- Now, move the knob labeled K1 on the MPK mini mkII from left to right. You will see it reflected in the Hybrid interface, as the Shape value changes and the value moves from 0-100%.
Wobble
- Open the Wobble plugin interface as described above.
- With the interface open, select a parameter. In this case, I will be mapping the Width knob for Channel 1.
- Select the Learn icon in the upper right of the interface to enter the MIDI learn mode.
- Left click on the Width knob, and then proceed to move the K1 knob on the MPK mini MKII from left to right. You will see it reflect in the Wobble interface, as the Width knob moves left to right.
- If you would like to map another knob, first click the Learn icon to get out of MIDI learn mode. Then click it again, and you can map a separate knob.
