Musical typing for drum kits in garage band not working

I'm jumping into garage band after a long absence and I'm trying to use musical typing with a drum kit. Unfortunately, this feature appears to no longer work. In the past I recall being able to use musical typing to make my own beat. Has something changed? I see the keyboard but typing produces no sounds whatsoever. I'm trying to understand what's gone wrong or if these instruments are no longer meant to function with keyboard as the input. Please advise. Thanks!

Hi crwinchester.


You have not said which version of GarageBand nor of macOS you are running. Using the latest versions of both, if I add a track and choose software instrument and then drums and a specific kit and then hit Command + K on the keyboard to bring up the musical typing interface, drum sounds are triggered by the various keys. Is this not the behavior you are experiencing?


Cheers.
