Apple Logic™
POD Studio/TonePort KB37 can be used as a keyboard controller with Apple Logic™ Pro or Express
to record notes and play software instruments in Logic’s Instrument tracks. Additionally, the MIDI
controllers (buttons, knobs, wheels, footswitches, expression pedal) on KB37, as well as UX2 & UX8,
can be configured to trigger Logic’s Transport functions, mixer faders, software instrument & plug-in
parameters and more! To follow are the instructions for conguring KB37/UX2/UX8 to function with
Logic Pro 8 (the steps should be similar for other versions of Logic as well).
Note that Line 6 POD Studio & TonePort KB37, UX2 & UX8 are also capable of acting as your Core
Audio device for Logic as well - you can choose within Logic’s Preferences > Audio settings if you want to
use set it to utilize your connected Line 6 device, or a different audio interface, as your Core Audio device.
Either way, your connected KB37/UX2/UX8 will perform the MIDI functions described in this chapter.
Simply connecting your KB37/UX2/UX8 to your Mac’s USB port and then launching the Logic
software should allow it to be detected by Logic, and allow Logic to receive MIDI from your device.
