How can I import sounds from a keyboard to GarageBand?

Is there a way to play other instrument sounds besides the ones in the GarageBand Software? My Korg has a sound bank with tons of sounds that I would like to import. Also, I have sounds that I have sampled from records that are mp3, can I play those with the MIDI keyboard?

Powerbook G4, Mac OS X (10.5.1), Korg X5D

there is no way to "import" the sounds your keyboard has, but you could plug it into the line-In on your Mac and record the audio

Also, I have sounds that I have sampled from records that are mp3, can I play those with the MIDI keyboard?


you can build an instrument within GB:
