You can connect a music keyboard to your computer to play and record the software instruments built into Logic Pro for Mac. You also need to add a software instrument track and choose a sound.
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 computer.
If the keyboard is a standard MIDI keyboard, connect the keyboard to a MIDI interface using standard MIDI cables, then connect the MIDI interface to your computer.
If the keyboard is a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi music keyboard, consult its documentation for instructions on how to pair it to your computer.
Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the keyboard, which may include installing the correct driver on your computer. Check the manufacturer’s website for the latest driver software. If you’re using a MIDI interface, be sure to follow the instructions that came with the interface.
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
Choose Track > New Software Instrument Track. (If you use this method, skip steps 2 and 3.)
Choose Track > New Tracks.
Click the Add Tracks button 
above the track headers.
In the New Tracks dialog, select Software Instrument, then click Create.
You can also choose a software instrument from the Instrument pop-up menu in Details view.
In the Library, select a patch category from the list on the left, then select the patch you want to use from the list on the right. If you’ve already chosen a software instrument for the track, the software instrument may change depending on the patch you select.
