Have a look on the Resources: control GarageBand page for some of the Firewire devices available. There is a lot of confusion about which keyboards are compatible, etc. You need a keyboard or digital piano with - MIDI Out. Modern keyboards have USB out - which channels the MIDI signal to your Mac. You can use Piano Diary with any MIDI- or USB-equipped piano, digital piano or keyboard. For instruments that have USB, you will need an iPad or iPad 2 with the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit.requires optional IUX1 USB to iPhone/iPad/iPod touch connector.
I am a bit confused here:
If you are using a MIDI-only interface (and no Audio interface), you can only use your piano as a controller to record software instruments.
If you notice low-input, you could check the settings in the track info window (select 'get info' or Command-I) of the selected track (e.g. move the input slider to the right).
Note: GB can only recieve MIDI and cannot send MIDI data back to your piano to trigger its internal sounds (so to record the internal sounds of the P140, you need to record them as real instrument audio tracks)

The Apple iPad has a growing number of music applications available and is becoming a favorite tool and toy for keyboard players and musicians around the world. To connect your MIDI keyboard to it, you have a few choices.
A new edition of the iPad seems to come out every five minutes, so you may be working with one of several versions. If you have the original or second or third generation iPad, you have a 30-pin connector on the bottom edge of the device. You need an Apple Camera Connection Kit, which plugs into that port and provides a USB jack. Plug in and you’re ready to go.
If you have the fourth generation iPad or the iPad Mini (or even newer models), you have what is called a Lightning connector. These models already come with a cable in the box to connect USB devices to the Lightning jack, so you’re all set.
If your keyboard has only DIN connectors, you need a MIDI interface to use your iPad. But for the iPad, you need a special MIDI interface that supports the unique connectors the tablet uses. A number of companies make dedicated iPad interface cables that support the 30-pin connector of the older models, with MIDI In and Out plugs on the other end of the cable.

For the newer, Lightning-based models, you can buy an adapter cable with the 30-pin jack on one end and a Lightning connector on the other. Then you can use any of the available iOS interfaces. (iOS is Apple’s mobile operating system.)
You can find a smaller adapter that converts the Lightning jack to a 30-pin jack, but this option leaves you with two bulky connectors hanging off your iPad. That setup is risky, both in terms of coming disconnected and of straining or even breaking the connector on your expensive toy. Better to get the cable instead.

No drivers or other setup software is required to use MIDI keyboards and music apps on the iPad. Plug in your keyboard and start up an app, and you’re ready to play and have fun.
