The Audiobus Forum is now the Loopy Pro Forum!
In case you didn't see the announcement thread, I have some big news: Audiobus – the app – is going to a new home. Francesco and Andrea are developers and musicians who are keen to pursue Audiobus’ further potential, keep it updated and enhance the experience for users old and new – and unlike me, they have the resources to do so! They’re full of ideas and energy, and I am confident that Audiobus will be in good hands.
The Audiobus Forum, however, is staying right here with me. After some consultation with the community here about what to do, I've decided to rename it to the Loopy Pro Forum, at forum.loopypro.com.
It has a new name and new colours, but otherwise, it's the same place, and nothing else will change.
Cheers,
Michael

What device are you running on?
iPad Air 3 (which is already mentioned in what you quoted). In Cubasis (with default guard buffer), I can run 11 instances of Animoog Z before crackling.
However, the multi-core mode seems to work well with less CPU-hungry synths or effects like BLEASS Omega. When I duplicated multiple Omega instances, the CPU spiked during multicore mode before settling to a much lower speed after playback.
Edit: By setting the buffer to 1024, I was able to get at least 10 or 11 instances of Model 15 running in AEM.

My bad
It also seems that I can't use Velocity KB and KB-1 as MIDI FX in the DAW, unless I am doing something wrong.
The results here are indeed a bit lower than in CB3, but nevertheless better than single-core. However, you need to increase the buffer size to compare it properly. Enabling multi-core in CB3 increases the buffer size as well. On older devices, a buffer size below 512 frames will not do much for multi-core. On my iPad Pro M2 however, I can use 128 frames in multi-core without issues. Not sure if CB3 even goes that low since it always has additional buffering in multi-core.
I hope someone else can respond since I'm not going to buy these just to find out. Are they listed when you press one of the 3 MIDI AU buttons?
I don’t have Velocity KB but KB-1 is working okay here.
Create MIDI instrument track and choose instrument.
Navigate to the channel strip view (using the page selector buttons - the little circular buttons at the bottom of the channel strip) which shows the 3 MIDI AU buttons.
Press one of them and select KB-1 from the options shown.
KB-1 now controls the instrument on the track.
KB-1 working for me too
That's what I did, unless I had to select MIDI track instead of audio and MIDI track.
Can you screen record what you did? First, I created a new audio synth track. Then, I put KB-1 or Velocity KB into one of the three AU MIDI FX slots. Even after pressing the record button, I did not hear sound being played.
In the track pop-up menu, you can select 'Merge all clips'.
I meant a MIDI instrument track where you load an audio unit. I cannot play or record notes using KB-1 or VKB with an AUv3 instrument. I can only sequence an AUv3 instrument with a sequencer like Hilda.
If you really need to merge two clips that are not overlapping, you can expand one clip such that it overlaps the other and then merge them.
It was just meant as a stop-gap solution until I implement a merge for selected clips.
Did some testing with the multicore feature , on my old Air2 (triple core , same cores , no big/little)
Tried 3 instances on AUM with Model 15 , couldn't avoid crackling even with 2048 buffer
Then I used AEM , loaded the exact same patches and no crackles with 128 buffer size (although my ipad is ready to explode
)
The "alternative" mode seems to work better
Huuuuge difference , congrats @dwrae
Thanks!
Audio Evolution Mobile Studio v5.8.6 for iOS has been released:
How is it that such a big feature update gets 0 replies?
Oh man, thank you for this
Making aem better and better each and every day.
@dwrae Is there a possibility of you adding a codec for the 'opus' file format?
Very cool!
I remember requesting and discussing this with you years ago in the pr re-design phase and I'm more than happy to see you still taking good care of your pearl.
I'd also like to mention the time stretch function for MIDI notes in the piano roll again, this can be invaluable!
Thanks for your great work.
