GarageBand keyboard options slowing down (not working)

Basically, some of my songs have a keyboard called “Blips Piano” and all of the ones with it have this thing where the melody from that piano is randomly slowed down, when the rest of the stuff are faster than it. Even on new songs too, and I’m up to date. I already did the basic fixes but nothing worked. I even uninstalled and reinstalled but still nothing.


Please help with this issue.

Yeah just updated to IOS 18.1.1, and suddenly all my songs that have Blips Piano are messed up. I muted those tracks and copied and pasted what was there into a Plastic Keys track, but it isn’t the same. this has been an issue for over 2 months.

Ever since the update the issue has still persisted — at least in my experience. The Blips Piano sounds exactly the same in one of the songs it’s used, even with FX applied, but the midi programming is oddly slowed by 50%, or half tempo of the current song.


I suspect that whatever synth this preset lived on prior to the update has been changed or deleted because the preset itself is no longer searchable. It only exists on whatever song you used it last.


Can someone confirm this?

I played with the song tempo a little bit increasing it to 230 and gradually slowing down while having BP solo’ed and it seemed to speed up the midi performance but not on beat, maybe to a relative odd tempo but I couldn’t tell.
