MIDI In/Out settings in Logic Pro for iPad
Bluetooth MIDI Devices
The Bluetooth MIDI Devices button opens a dialog that lets you set up your external Bluetooth MIDI controllers to use with Logic Pro for iPad.
Note: There are three possible status labels on the Bluetooth MIDI Devices dialog for a listed device:
Not Connected: Logic Pro receives a pairing signal from the device, and you can tap Not Connected to connect the device.
Connected: The device is currently connected (paired), and you can tap Connected to disconnect it.
Offline: This is a previously connected device that is currently not available. Once a pairing signal is detected, the status changes to Not Connected.
MIDI Input Ports
Any MIDI device that can send MIDI messages and is recognized by Logic Pro is listed under MIDI Input Ports with a switch to turn the device on or off. Only devices that are turned on can be used in Logic Pro and displayed in the MIDI Input pop-up menu in the Track inspector.
Various types of MIDI devices are recognized in Logic Pro:
Network Session 1: This option represents the network connection you create in the Audio MIDI Setup app on a Mac to send MIDI between Logic Pro for Mac and Logic Pro for iPad.
Logic Pro Virtual In: Receive MIDI data from any app on your iPad that supports this virtual MIDI bus, such as GarageBand for iPad. Third-party iPad music apps might display this option as a selectable MIDI output.
Internal app: Most iPad music apps that can send MIDI data internally between apps are listed automatically when you open them on your iPad.
Bluetooth connection: Any Bluetooth MIDI device needs to be added manually in Logic Pro in the Bluetooth MIDI Devices dialog.
Physical connection: A MIDI device that is Core MIDI compliant is automatically displayed in the MIDI Input Port list if you connect it to the iPad’s Lightning or USB-C port.
The MIDI Input pop-up menu in the Track inspector lets you choose which MIDI device to use as the input for an individual software instrument track. See Record multiple MIDI devices to multiple tracks.
Note: The Play Surface option is always available in the MIDI Input pop-up menu. To connect and disconnect Bluetooth devices, tap Bluetooth MIDI Devices to open the Bluetooth MIDI Devices dialog.
