Importing and Arranging a MIDI File
Quick explanation of the steps to import, and begin making your own arrangement of, a midi file using GarageBand.

Be sure to tell GB what key the MIDI file is in BEFORE importing it so the GB loops key will match that of the midi file.
This is the first step in the arranging project, NEW CLOTHES FOR AN OLD TUNE, described in my book, USING TECHNOLOGY TO UNLOCK MUSICAL CREATIVITY (©2011, Oxford University Press).
