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 computer
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 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.
Be sure to follow the instructions that came with the keyboard, which may include installing the correct driver on your iPad. 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.
