Introduction

With Switch Control for iOS 10, users can perform a wide range of actions on their iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch using switches. The "Recipes" feature within Switch Control for iOS 10 can significantly simplify switch use. This document provides tutorials to introduce users to Recipes and simplified switch access.

It can connect one to four wired switches for use with Switch Control. More information can be found at www.ablenetinc.com/hook-switch-interface.
• Blue2 Bluetooth Switch: This switch provides single or dual switch access with Switch Control. Users can activate the orange and white switch tops, or plug in two external switches for activation. More information can be found at www.ablenetinc.com/blue2-bluetooth-switch.

13. Select "Custom Gesture".
14. A screen with instructions will appear. Quickly tap all of your Post-It-Note markers multiple times, then select "Save" in the upper right corner. Tapping the markers quickly is important because when the user activates their switch, it will play the drums back in the recorded sequence.
15. Under "Switches", "White" (or Hook+, "Next") will now be assigned "Custom Gesture".
16. Ensure "Timeout" is turned Off.
17. At the top of the screen, select "Recipes" to return to the main Recipes menu.

26. When the user activates the White switch top on Blue2 (or Hook+, Switch 2 / Next), the drum solo will play.
27. Once finished with the Garage Band App, turn the Recipe Off by navigating to Settings App > General > Accessibility > Switch Control and turning Switch Control Off. You must also go to Recipes > Launch Recipe and change this back to "None".
