Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Easily scroll through presets with your midi controller?
I saw there was a post about this from 2018 which mentioned that it is pretty complicated to set up. Many apps have fiddly small buttons for selecting presets, and some don’t even have any quick way to scroll through presets with an arrow selector etc. I would really like to use a midi controller to quickly scroll from one preset to another when using apps in AUM etc. Even better, I would love it if I could use my ipad external keyboard to do this, using the arrow keys. Is this currently possible? I have Sonic Logic and Lemur, can these be used? As I say, the ideal would be to use the ipad external keyboard, but any of these options would save a lot of time and make playing, especially on a new app, much more fun than constantly having to touch the screen or fiddle with a list type menu. Hope someone can help, thanks a lot.

Sorry, but it is complicated and it is inconsistent between apps.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. There just isn’t any simple or comprehensive answer that isn’t going to be a lot more work than just tapping your screen for general use. Once you identify presets you want to sub-set as ones to step through with AUM’s midi learn function (second bullet point above) you could use that, but that would be more for performing scenarios than as a general solution for what you’re looking for.
Pity! Thanks so much for the detailed reply Wim, very nice of you
No problem. I only wish it wasn’t such a disappointing answer.
