In Garageband 6, it was possible to add a sustain effect manually in the "edit" section of the instrument. You could then play with sustain, even without using a pedal. I can't find this function in Garageband 10. Could you help me with that? Thank you very much

Hey!
I've been having the same problem.
Did you find how to add the sustain effect when playing on a keyboard for garage band?
Thank you very much. THis helped to edit music I had already recorded but what I want to do is get that sustain effect while I'm playing, without having to record what I play and add it afterwards. COuld you help me with that?
You can edit controller information in the Midi Draw Area, see this Help page for GarageBand 10:

In addition to editing the notes in the Piano Roll Editor, you can view and edit controller information using MIDI Draw. Many music keyboards include controls for pitch bend and modulation. The pitch bend and modulation controls are often wheels, placed to the left of the lowest keys on the keyboard. Some keyboards also let you connect a sustain pedal or foot controller.
As you play, you can move these controls to add expression and character to your music. You can view and edit the movements of these and other MIDI controllers in the Piano Roll Editor. MIDI Draw can show controller information for Volume, Pan, Pitchbend, Modulation, Foot Control, Expression, Sustain, or Pitch Bend.
The MIDI Draw area below the Piano Roll Editor note display shows the (data, value) for each note in the MIDI region. A control point at the left edge (beginning) of each note shows the value for the chosen controller type.
