**Best MIDI keyboards for Mac and the new Logic Pro for iPad [2023 Edition]**

?quality=82&strip=all&w=1500

Welcome to our 2023 edition of the best MIDI keyboards for iPad and Mac. With the reveal of Logic Pro for iPad (https://9to5mac.com/2023/05/09/final-cut-pro-logic-ipad/) earlier this month (it’s about time Apple) and its upcoming official launch on May 23, 2023, it seems a fitting time to go over some new releases and the best hardware keyboard controllers to really put the new mobile version of Apple’s flagship music software to work. The touch interface on Logic Pro for iPad looks fantastic thus far, but there’s nothing quite like getting hands-on with a MIDI keyboard when it comes to playing chord progressions, writing riffs and melodies, banging out beats on some bonus drum pads, and supplementing the touchscreen controls with assignable control pots. So let’s take stock of the newest releases as well as some mainstays still worth your time (and money) as part of our 2023 edition of the best MIDI keyboards for iPad and Mac.
