I would also recommend the WIDI Master. Low latency and, finicky mobile app aside, works great for controlling synths on the iPad.
To be clear the app is just for updating the WIDI Master and changing settings. You don’t need it to control synths on the iPad, for example. I just found it to be buggy and sometimes had trouble installing firmware updates.
Thanks 
could def be an option
Beyond firmware, the app is needed if you want to define WIDI groups (3+ WIDI devices) and to download the config into the WIDI hardware.
I can confirm that WIDI works even for downloading sysex from a computer to a e.g Sequential synth, including firmware updates. More reliable than USB MIDI.
That alone is quite impressive.
Even more impressive is the fact that the good old DIN connector remains the best way to connect MIDI to this day, that’s 40+ years! 
Btw I use a WIDI jack with my Blackbox and you could use its sequencer to control Logic on your iPad and to output/input the latter’s audio via its minijack back to the Blackbox. (sorry for the minor off-topic)
plug any controller into your OP-Z, makes a great and reliable bluetooth remote and sound Interface.
You, sir. Might just have cracked it.
And the goddam thing is sitting right here and I got the line in-module and never even considered this.
Good looks don’t come with smarts 
Speak for yourself. I’m a big ol gorgeous genius 
In Logic Pro for iPad you can choose your audio ins and outs. When I hook up my OP-1 F to Logic, I take the audio input from the OP-1, and set the output to the iPad’s speakers. It’s an iPad Pro 12.9, so the speakers are pretty good.
Also, because the OP-1’s battery is impossible to deplete, it makes a great BT controller anyway.
Best to use a audio interface or a device that can be used like one (for example a digitakt) that has usb or midi connection from the keystep. I think the ipad sounds like crap if i plug headphones directly to it
I really like the browser in the iPad OS version.
Is there a way to browse the samples from factory packs on the desktop version?
I don’t mean apple loops or DMD presets like a whole chain of Snare + Reverb + whatever.
I mean… regular samples that constitute the pack itself.
Found it.
it’s the blue button on top left.
EDIT: Oh… they’re just loops. You can’t find the good stuff. Maybe I’m dumb.
Oh, sod it. I’ll just use my Roland piano for keys and then do without them when I’m mobile, monitoring through the TP-7.
I will give the Korg Keystage a go when it’s out, tho.
Anyone of you using outboard gear for resampling with Logic Pro? I realise I won’t be giving up my Chase Bliss pedals, so I need to make this work, but goddamit if Apple isn’t failing as hard in the hardware output department as they’re succeeding in the software department. With that single USB port, it’s annoyingly difficult to even create the simplest workflows with any kit outside the iPad.
But yeah … what’s your workflow for resampling or recording from and back to the iPad through outboard gear, if any? I want to print my outboard fx onto audio and back into Logic, and the only kit I have that might remotely help with this, is my TX-6. Unless I use multiple kits for the chain, in which case it’s becoming such a mess, one of the big points of using an iPad for music making quickly gets lost…
Sounds like a perfect job for the TX-6. Create a bus in Logic that sends to one of the TX-6’s hardware outputs, and another one that receives from its hardware inputs. Put your pedals in that loop.
Then just send stuff out via the busses. Should be easy! The iPad works well with multi-channel audio interfaces
Aaah, well now … didn’t even think of that.
I shall experiment.
Thank you, good sir.
It worked 🫶
Didn’t even have to set up buses, actually. Logic recognised all TX-6 channels as both inputs and outputs so I just routed shit around till I got results.
Heyo guys.
First off, thanks to everyone for keeping this thread informative. It’s a great place, in here.
Heavy Logic Pro and Garage Band user, here. Both on macOS and iPad.
The one thing that puzzles me the most about LPfiP is the lack of templates.
Most of my workflow is centered around specific templates. It helps keeping my creative workflow intact and makes for a streamlined way to go and use the DAWs. That, and the fact that templates help me focus on specific options (instead of being stuck in front of way too many options).
I do have a tedious workaround - the same as with GarageBand, actually. Basically, I once created some kind of empty project with some set-up going on inside. And, every time I want to start a new project, I’d copy right away the original project and work on the copy. So my original file is my template.
But it’s not intuitive at all, and keeping many templates quickly becomes a hassle.
So I’m curious. Anyone here having tips and tricks to overcome that missing feature?
Thanks!
I just have a root folder for my projects bookmarked, and inside i keep all the templates. When starting a project I duplicate a specific template, rename it, and when I know which vague ganre it is i move it to the corresponding folder for that ganre.
Thanks for sharing.
Love the way you do this by genres. I do the same on the macOS version.
Practical af!
