Get started with Logic Remote on iPad
You use Logic Remote to remotely control common functions in MainStage—adding, selecting and playing patches and choosing patch, channel strip and plug-in settings. You can also use Touch Instruments to play software instruments in MainStage and create custom layouts for the key commands you use most often.
To show coaching tips with helpful information about the current view, tap the Settings button in the control bar, then tap Coaching Tips. You can continue to use all controls while coaching tips are visible.
The first time you open Logic Remote, you’re prompted to connect to a Mac that’s running GarageBand, Logic Pro or MainStage.
Logic Remote opens to the default Mixer view for the selected patch, where you can perform some basic mixing tasks. You can change the Mixer view to access additional controls.
The control bar is located at the top of each screen. Below the control bar is the level meter strip, which shows output levels during playback. You can use this strip to navigate between patches. You can switch between different views to play Touch Instruments, use Smart Controls, work with key commands or use Smart Help. You can also choose patch settings or channel strip settings in the Library and use the Patch List.
