This allows you to access the Smart Controls for the instrument and to play the instrument from the comfort of wherever you happen to be using the iPad. When you have an instrument track selected, the Smart Controls view option in Logic Remote changes its name to either 'Smart Controls and Keyboard', 'Smart Controls and Drum Pad' or 'Smart Controls and Fretboard', depending on the instrument type. Choosing 'Smart Controls' from the View button on the Control Bar will show Smart Controls for the currently selected channel where viewing and using an entire plug-in interface (which has not of course been designed for use on a multi-touch tablet) would be problematic, adjusting one or multiple parameters via Smart Controls on the iPad is a cinch! Resolves an issue where adding a MIDI FX plug-in to a channel strip could remove existing mappings in Aliases of the channel strip. Resolves an issue in which there might be stuck notes when using the Vienna Instruments VEPro 7 Audio Units V3 plug-in. Very handy – but they really make sense when used in conjunction with Logic Remote. AUv3 MIDI plug-ins are now fully functional in Logic Pro.
LOGIC PRO X IPAD PRO
Like everyone else here is saying, it all comes down to the next WWDC and iPadOS 15.Smart Controls allow the control of channel strip and plug-in parameters, and in Logic Pro X (on the Mac) could be viewed as a quick and easy way to access the most commonly used parameters for each channel. This would materialise in them putting out incredibly RAM and GPU demanding versions of their pro apps for iPadOS that don't run well on non-pro iPads, or we'll see a straight up "iPadProOS"(not banking on the name) break off from regular iPadOS that offers the ability to run several pro apps while regular iPads are locked out. On the contrary, I do see Apple further segmenting the iPad lineup and drawing a hard line between regular iPads and iPads Pro.
LOGIC PRO X IPAD MAC
If they ran macOS, how could any of Apple's other products compete besides a new ARM Mac Pro? In terms of raw power, new ARM MBPs and Mac Pros might compete, but not in terms of pricing aka accessability.

This is especially true considering the new seemingly "full MacBook" experience you'll get if you pair your new, or old, iPad Pro with one of Apple's all-new Magic Keyboards.
LOGIC PRO X IPAD FULL
If Apple put a full macOS on iPads all its other "computer+display" products would take a giant blow in sales and popularity. In that light, should we be asking why the Mac Pro isn't "Pro"?)Ī company putting out a $799-$2199 device that has industry-leading displays, touch control, incredible cameras, Face-ID authentication, SIM-card slots, etc., etc., that ALSO does full desktop computing with macOS is not(!) going to happen while the same company is trying to sell us MacBooks, iMacs, and iPhones. If you're a pro who intends to spearhead the AR and VR revolution this decade, you want to be using one of those devices every workday. (Meanwhile, the iPad Pro and iPhone Pro are killing it in the area of augmented reality they can scan a room in moments, render virtual objects that appear to circle around real people as though they were green-screened in a studio – the most expensive, powerful Mac available currently can't even begin to do that. Maybe the answer is yes – and wouldn't that be interesting – but it's totally possible the answer is no.

It's possible the iPad Pros' performance is capable of processing and rendering in the way the MacBooks are, but the question on Apple's mind will be whether the touch-first, all-display-first nature of the iPad will run those apps in a way that lets the iPad shine while being the iPad. There are things with the portability of an iPad that can run Logic Pro X and Final Cut Pro X they're called MacBooks.
LOGIC PRO X IPAD PROFESSIONAL
If Canon puts out a new "professional" camera with impressive light capturing, microscopic focus and telescopic zoom, does it seem reasonable to say "how can they call it professional if it doesn't run Logic Pro X"? I don't know – Apple's always shown they've thought of the Mac, the iPad and the iPhone as separate kinds of things, "pro" or not.
