Intro

Logic Pro on iPad uses the same transport and track-editing shortcuts as the Mac app, in a smaller set covering the main views, Tracks area, Live Loops, Mixer, and Browser.

iPad-specific shortcut notes

External keyboard required. These shortcuts only work with a keyboard connected or paired to your iPad. Fn combinations like Fn-D (Dictation) and Fn-F (full screen) rely on the keyboard's Fn key.

Numeric input dialog. iPad's numeric input fields have their own shortcut set: arrow keys move between digits, and typing a number 0 through 9 enters it directly.

Projects browser. Logic Pro for iPad's file browser carries Mac Finder-style shortcuts (Command-1/2/3 for icon/list/column view, Command-[ and Command-] for back/forward navigation).

Printable PDF

The Logic Pro shortcut list for iPad is available as a printable PDF, for when you're working with an external keyboard attached.
