How do I assign Alesis V25 MIDI Controller knobs and switches to GarageBand?

Hi, recently purchased the Alesis V25. The Knobs and Switches don't do anything in GarageBand and i'd like to assign things to the knobs and transport controls to the switches. Is this possible and how do I do it? Thanks.

You can't. You need Garageband's smarter brother, logic.

So it really depends on ur Plugins. I use piano one, kontakt and Spitfire mainly and out of then it allows me to configure in the plugin which button or knob to assign as for DAW control, There is an app called Garage Remote which allows you to setup ur buttons as so. U will need to keep it open in the background tho. Also I was having some trouble on the 3 and 4 buttons and what it controls on garageband so if u are having the same issue can u let me know??
