  1. Hi...Old dog here, trying to learn new tricks. Hooked up my XW to my Macbook to use as a virtual instrument keyboard controller for recording in Garageband via USB. I am able to play/record the virtual instruments, but I am not able to figure out how to get "expression" from my playing. By this I mean that all the notes and chords played are at one volume, regardless of how hard/soft I strike the XW keyboard. Are there settings within the XW that I need to "activate" to allow for velocity control within Garageband? I am not being lazy here. I have searched YouTube, Keyboard Forums, Midi Forums, etc, till I'm mentally drained from info overload. Maybe I'm not using the right Keywords in my searches. I am new to Midi/DAW and it is a bit overwhelming at times. I have a small iRig Key Pro that seems to allow for velocity/expression control right out of the box, but it is small and I mainly use it on my iPad Air for quick recording away from home. Does any of this make sense? I hope so. Any information provided would be greatly appreciated. On a side note, I love gigging live with the XW. My primary board is the Korg SV-1, but my band has been playing some smaller venues recently where "real estate" is at a premium. I get a pretty impressive sound from the XW in a very small footprint with easier portability. Very happy with my purchase. Thanks in advance. Steve
