***Outer Lands Synth For iPhone/iPad!!! There is not Outer Lands Synth patch in the iOS version of GarageBand BUT THERE IS one that's almost just like it called the Dusty Record Synth (how To find it... Alchemy Synth to "Synth" to "Dusty Record Synth")

****NO NIYNL CRACKLE? If you don't have the vinyl scratch/crackle loops I show in this video then select the Outer Lands Synth and go to the lowest note (the far left key on the typing keyboard, get there by hitting the "octave" button all the way down to the left and play the lowest C note) and it will play vinyl scratch only with no synth! I did a video on it here... youtube.com/watch?v=a0gg3eVxdOY&t=1s

****NO RAIN SOUNDS? If you don't have the rain sounds then that is likely because I have MainStage ($30 in the App Store) which gives you all of Logic's instruments, I did a video on it here... youtube.com/watch?v=YrqAvAQjYEI&t=1s ... beyond that, if you have iMovie it has lots of rain/storm sounds effects that you can drag into your GB project OR you can simply use your microphone (or cell phone) and record rain sounds near an open window on a rainy day!
