Save custom patches in GarageBand on Mac
You can save a patch’s settings in the Library and apply the settings to other instruments, or use them in another project.
You can delete a patch you created from the Library, but you can’t delete patches included with GarageBand.
Save a patch
In GarageBand on Mac, select the track you want to use as a starting point for the custom patch.
Change the patch settings by adjusting Smart Controls, or adding or adjusting plug-ins, until you have the sound you want.
Click the Save button in the lower-right corner of the Library.
In the dialog that appears, enter a name for the saved patch.
Custom patches are saved to a User Patches folder in the Library (created in the Library the first time you save a patch). You can use these patches in any GarageBand project.

Important: After you delete a patch, it can’t be recovered for any project. Deleting a patch cannot be undone.
