Q: Mid files to GarageBand on iPad?

Hi All

 

I acquired some .mid files from a friend.

 

I can drag them into GarageBand for iMac and adjust them to my hearts content. Fantastic!!!  https://youtu.be/Sj-fwOdivVk

 

Is there anyway I can do the same on my iPad (iOS 9.2)? I tried emailing the Mid file to myself, opening in mail on my iPad but it won't.

 

I tried file sharing, the converted file from my iMac, but it that didn't work either.

Thank you

iPad Air, iOS 9.2

A:

I don't think you can open a midi file in GarageBand iOS yet. Share the midi-track in GarageBand as an audio file to iTunes and open it on your iPad.

Or play the midi file and record it using the Music memo.app.  The way you can have Music Memo analyze the audio and create a car file with smart instruments as accompaniment. You can ion this memo in GarageBand o the iPad.
