Work with plug-ins in the Mixer in Logic Pro for iPad
In addition to working with plug-ins in the Plug-ins area, you can work with plug-ins in channel strips in the Mixer. You can add plug-ins, replace a plug-in with a different one, search for a plug-in, and remove plug-ins in the Mixer. You can also reorder plug-ins and open plug-ins in a mini view or in Details view from the Mixer.

In Logic Pro, tap the Setup button
in the Mixer menu bar (if it is not already selected).Do one of the following:
To add a MIDI effect plug-in (on a software instrument track), tap an empty MIDI Effect slot, then choose a MIDI effect.
To add an audio effect plug-in, tap an empty Audio Effect slot, then choose an audio effect.
Open a plug-in mini view in the Mixer
In Logic Pro, with the Mixer in Mix mode, touch and hold an instrument or effect plug-in slot.
The plug-in opens in a mini view in the Mixer, showing controls for the key plug-in parameters.
Open a plug-in in Details view from the Mixer

In addition to using the On/Off button in Mix mode, you can bypass plug-ins and sends in Setup mode.
Tap the Setup button

To bypass a plug-in, tap the plug-in slot in a channel strip, then tap Bypass.
To bypass a send, tap the Send pop-up menu for the send, then tap Bypass.
