You don't need to use MIDImouse (or anything similar) with GarageBand. You can directly connect a MIDI device, e.g. keyboard.
MIDImouse's developer says, "midimouse works out of the box. You don’t need to setup anything special in Garageband, just open the preferences in midimouse to select appropriate Controller-Numbers => eg. send CC7 to control the volume, CC1 to control the modulation…If you want to trigger notes, you need some additional software, because midimouse just sends controllers (Controllers and NoteOns are different message types)"
