Before recording software instruments in Logic Pro for iPad
In addition to using onscreen Play Surfaces in Logic Pro for iPad, you can also connect a music keyboard or controller that is Core MIDI compliant to your iPad. Before you can play or record a software instrument, you need to add a software instrument track and choose a patch from the Browser.
You can also set the metronome, which plays a steady beat so that you can play and record in time, or as a count-in before recording starts.
Connect a music keyboard or controller to your iPad
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
If the keyboard is a USB music keyboard, connect the USB cable from the keyboard to your iPad, using a USB-C adapter if needed.
If the keyboard is a standard MIDI music keyboard, connect the keyboard to a MIDI interface using standard MIDI cables, then connect the MIDI interface to your iPad.
If the keyboard is a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi music keyboard, consult its support materials for instructions on how to pair it to your iPad. See In/Out MIDI settings on how to pair MIDI Bluetooth devices.
For information about connecting a keyboard or controller, see Connect external devices. Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the keyboard or controller. If you’re using a MIDI interface, be sure to follow the instructions that came with the interface.
