Manage key command sets in Logic Remote on iPhone — Apple Support

As soon as you edit the original key command set for Logic Pro in Logic Remote, a LogicKeyCommands.plist file is saved to the File Sharing area. You can share, back up, or restore the key command set from the File Sharing area.

I want to reset the key commands in Logic Remote to their default state. My reading of the documentation tells me that removing the file(s) LogicKeyCommands.plist from the Logic Remote space (see using the Finder to work with files on iPad and iPhone).

Deleting the plist file resets the key commands.

NB Key command layout is problematic if you want to share key commands between Logic Remote on iPad and iPhone.

Add, remove, and edit key commands in Logic Remote on iPhone — Apple Support

After you turn on key command editing, you can add, remove, move, and customize key commands to suit your own workflow needs. You can also organize key commands by color.

The default commands in Logic Remote are numerous, and not very interesting for my work. I need to create a set of commands. I will start by removing some.

Tap the Settings icon (gear) at the top right of the display. Choose ‘Edit Key Commands’. Edit/Move/Delete as desired. Tap ‘Done’.

When searching for commands I can press the microphone button on the search field and speak the command.

I was inspired by going through the complete Groove3 tutorial for Logic Remote.

Controlling multiple instruments on different MIDI channels in Logic is easy, and it does not require you to ever open the environment! It also allows you to record different controller keyboards on different software instrument or external MIDI tracks. Whether you’re trying to use an external sequencer (like an MPC 2000, or even another computer running Logic) to trigger instruments within Logic, or whether you’re simply trying to play different instruments using different MIDI controllers, read on.
