Apple announced Logic Pro for the iPad which will be available May 23rd 2023. Apple says in its press release:
“With Multi-Touch gestures, music creators can play software instruments and interact naturally with controls, as well as navigate complex projects with pinch-to-zoom and swipe-to-scroll. Plug-in Tiles put the most useful controls at the creator’s fingertips, making it easy to quickly shape sounds.
With the built-in mics on iPad, users can capture voice or instrument recordings, and with five studio-quality mics on iPad Pro, users can turn virtually any space into a recording studio. Creators can also make precision edits and draw detailed track automation with Apple Pencil, and connect a Smart Keyboard Folio or Magic Keyboard to utilize key commands that speed up production.”
Multi-Touch transforms your iPad into an expressive professional instrument that you can play. Create music with dynamic software instruments and control hundreds of plug‑ins intuitively.
Logic Pro for iPad will be available as part of a subscription for $4.99 per month or $49 per year. The app will be compatible with A12 Bionic chip iPad models or later.
