MIDI keyboards typically come in 25, 49, 61 and 88 key varieties. The more keys, the more octaves you can play at the same time – without having to awkwardly press the octave jump button.

If you really want to try out a new version of OS X then install that OS X version on to an external Hard Drive, install Logic Pro on that drive along with any drivers/plugins etc.. and then boot to that. and test thoroughly.. leaving your current configuration alone and working..
or..
Make a full clone backup of your current system drive using something like Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! (My personal choice) to an external drive before you update to Yosemite and then if things don't work out you can quickly and easily revert back to your current config with ease.
Note: The sole use of Time Machine as a clone backup is not recommended as not all files will be restored correctly and you may find you have to do a great deal of manual tweaking/fixing/re-registering to get everything back to normal. TM is great for individual file restoration but for full cloned restores, not so good!
Based on past experiences. as seen by the many 100s of posts made in the Logic Pro forum after the release of Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks and Yosemite..there could well be incompatibility issues that will rear their ugly heads upon the launch of the next new OS X version.. so be warned!
So again.. as always when OS X or Logic Pro is updated.. Take your time and let others find the bugs/issues etc before you install it yourself. or if you insist on doing so. make proper clone backups first.. to save a lot of wasted time and effort later.

MIDI devices can include keyboards, drum pads, alternative controllers such as guitar MIDI systems, and more. Although you don’t need a MIDI controller to make music with Logic Pro, it’s a lot more fun if you have a way to play software instruments. And trained players can make use of their skills to input music more quickly and accurately.

Connect MIDI controllers
Many MIDI controllers will send and receive MIDI through USB, eliminating the need for a third-party interface. Older MIDI controllers may use 5-pin DIN cables and require a third-party hardware interface. Connect your controller to your MIDI interface or to your computer’s USB port.
Connect external instruments
If you’re connecting a MIDI synthesizer or workstation to Logic Pro, in addition to making MIDI connections, you must be able to monitor the instrument’s audio. If your audio interface supports hardware monitoring, you can monitor the instrument through your hardware. If it doesn’t, you’ll need to add an audio track to your project to monitor the instrument.
When you play the keyboard, the instrument is sending and receiving MIDI at the same time, so sounds are doubled. Most keyboards have a Local Off function, which you’ll want to use to stop the sound from doubling.
Exploring MIDI preferences
Global and project preferences are similar to audio preferences. To open the Global MIDI Preferences pane, choose Logic Pro X→Preferences→MIDI. Here’s a brief description of three tabs in the MIDI Preferences pane:
- General: If you have MIDI communication problems, click the Reset All MIDI Drivers button.
- Reset Messages: If your MIDI controllers get stuck, including stuck notes, select the controller you want to reset on this tab.
- Sync: If you want to sync Logic Pro with another device or adjust the timing of your MIDI, you can do so on this tab.
To open the Project MIDI Preferences pane, choose File→Project Settings→MIDI. Here’s a brief description of the three tabs on the Project Preferences pane:
- General: You can set up MIDI to scrub with audio in the tracks area. Scrubbing means to audition audio while you drag your cursor over it.
- Input Filter: If you’re not using certain MIDI functions or don’t want these functions to be sent or received, you can select them on this tab and they will be filtered out.
- Chase: Use this tab to set how MIDI events will behave when you start your project after a MIDI event has been triggered. For example, if you play your project in the middle of a pitch bend, selecting the Pitch Bend check box will ensure that the bend is synchronized correctly.
You can use the Audio MIDI Setup utility to set up devices connected to your computer. (Audio MIDI Setup is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.) You can test MIDI and audio devices, set audio levels, and much more. Check out this video tour of the Audio MIDI Setup utility.
Now that you know the fundamentals of digital audio and MIDI, you’re well on your way to recording your own audio and MIDI. With your hardware set up and your audio and MIDI preferences chosen, you’re ready to begin recording some great sounds.
