Make your MOTÖR 49's knobs work in GarageBand

GarageBand plays the keys, but ignores most of the 8 knobs, 9 faders and 7 buttons on the Behringer MOTÖR 49. KnobLink connects them: it recognises the MOTÖR 49 the moment you plug it in.

Questions

Does the MOTÖR 49 work with GarageBand?

GarageBand plays the MOTÖR 49's keys and pads, but ignores most of its knobs and faders. KnobLink connects those too: knobs move the instrument's Smart Controls, faders set track volume, transport buttons work.

Do I need to set up the MOTÖR 49 by hand?

No. KnobLink recognises the Behringer MOTÖR 49 by name when you plug it in and knows its factory settings. If you changed its settings, KnobLink asks you to move the changed controls once.

Does it work with Logic Pro?

KnobLink is made for GarageBand. Logic Pro has its own controller assignments.
