If the keyboard has MIDI ports instead of a USB port, see Connect MIDI devices to use with Logic Pro.

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.

When you connect a supported USB MIDI controller, the knobs, sliders, and other hardware controls on the controller are automatically assigned to Smart Controls and other functions in Logic Pro. For more information, see Automatic MIDI controller assignment in Logic Pro.
