Make Synthesia A Midi Controller With Garage Band?
No explicit, hateful, or hurtful language. Nothing illegal.
For the iOS version of GarageBand, you could use an app like MidiBridge to connect Synthesia's output to GarageBand's input.
For the OS X version of GarageBand, it's even easier. You don't need to download any separate apps. They already have MIDI routing built into the OS, called the "IAC Driver". This page has a nice tutorial on how to set it up.

I have a midi session set up much like this screenshot which I found online except with just the IACDriver, Network and my previously connected external MIDI keyboard and the window below that

Ah ha. So you have your keyboard connected to your Mac, but you're playing Synthesia on your iPad. That is clear now.
In that case, I'm not sure there is much you can do about the latency. (If your Mac isn't wired directly to your router yet, that might help a tiny bit, but probably too little to be noticeable.)
The only way to speed it up that I know of is to get the various adapters needed to connect your keyboard directly to your iPad.

So It'd be worse, right
Also, I'm currently trying to find a new keyboard (preferably a syntheisa keyboard) that plays MIDI's in a similar way that the Synthesia program does
I was wondering if I give you two syntheisa keyboards by Casio (since there a terms that I haven't heard of), if you can help me choose one for my specific needs
*Casio XW-G1* http://www.casio-intl.com/in/en/emi/synthesizer/xwg1/
*Casio XW-P1* http://www.casio-intl.com/in/en/emi/synthesizer/xwp1/
My current keyboard as previously mentioned, does play MIDI's, however there is an obvious difference (tone and volume wise)
Thanks

Yes. Double-latency is worse.JPS wrote:So It'd be worse, right?
I'm not sure I know what you mean by a "Synthesia keyboard". Do you mean a keyboard with a built-in synthesizer?JPS wrote:(preferably a Synthesia keyboard)

Hi Nicholas
It's been a long time since I looked at this post
Basically what my specific needs were:
I'm not sure if any 88 note keyboards support this but, my current keyboard has a screen which allows me to see the notes I'm pressing in reference with a staff which I will send a video of to support@synthesiagame.com
Thanks

Taking a look at the video, try this:
Start playing any song in Synthesia (in any mode). Enable sheet music, and skip past the initial silence at the start of the song. Now, if you play notes on your own keyboard, they should appear in the staff at the top of the screen.
Is that what you were looking for?
