Timpani drum GarageBand

[EuroBailey]

Hi guys, quick question I am looking for a timpani style effect in gb and can't find anything close..
I would prefer to be able to "play" the drum with musical typing rather then a loop that I struggle to get to fit...
Has anyone seen a familiar effect or know one that could be imported???
I believe I have the latest version of gb but not all the effects (it's 13gb and don't have that much wifi currently ).

Any help would be appreciated

I don't quite understand this sentence:

It's been some years since I've worked in GB, but I can tell you that the Apple loops library in Logic X contains an array of various MIDI timpani samples, easily editable in the piano roll. No reason those shouldn't translate to GB, since Logic these days has become GB on steroids. When you installed, did you take advantage of the "Download more sounds" feature? If not, here's how: how-to-get-all-the-awesome-extra-sounds-for-garageband-10/ ... I have no idea if the MIDI (green) timpani loops are included, but if not, at least you know they exist and can go in-search-of.

Thanks woodman - sorry I think that's what I am Missing is the extra free sounds - as its around 13gb... I might have to take my Mac over to my folks and use their wifi to get that installed.

Yow — ya mean you're on a dial-up modem connection? That's harsh!

 

[EuroBailey]

Haha no! I am living in no mans land at the moment so my place in Melbourne has only a few gig wifi that work gave me - Because I am basically never ever here I couldn't justify paying for a wifi plan ..

It's a pretty massive download and took a LONG time even at my fairly decent download speed (cable modem). The only saving grace is that when you interrupt the download, it takes up where it left off when you reboot. Good luck!

For that download, better tell 'em you're moving back in for a couple of days! Just kidding, it's worth it because there's so much there. You'll thank yourself for persevering!

 

[EuroBailey]

Haha cheers - I'll let you know how I go!

 

[EuroBailey]

So downloaded ! Will have a search through tomorrow . By the time I upgraded Mac operating system, gb and iPhone it has gotten very late! Will see what I can find tomorrow

 

[EuroBailey]

So I never replied to this but I did find the type of timpani drum I wanted on gb - have to fast forward to 5min mark when it starts but this was my cover of a Dino jr song

Glad it all worked out!
