I’ve made a poll over in the Arturia user forum. You can vote here:
Having V Collection available as an AUv3 inside Cubasis would be an absolute DREAM
Only, if there is the WiFi to support it, so is there?
I use Fritzbox, for security and adaptability with the Mesh, and continuous updates into the distant future, so unless the WiFi is there, on this system I would have to vote No, but if it can be done, then that is great. How good would that make life, for the next generations of musicians, i.e., the youth of the next 3 quarters, of our (new) century.
The iPad has had Wifi connectability since the first model was introduced in 2010….
I suppose you mean the maintenance of the software - of course, as a software vendor on any platform you would have to make sure that it is being provided.
Hi,
I am currently, using VST on the same platform as the DAW, and will continue to do so but if I could use an Apple, device over the WiFi, easily, with MIDI, and record audio back to the DAW, (hint to developers), I would consider buying one just for those synthesizers, you mention.
I only use emulations, I would not have a clue about other synths, and I am not interested in their presets, or anyone elses’, for that matter since I have songs to actually compose so I would vote Yes, in that case.
All the best
A lot has changed in the last 15 years 
You can use wireless Midi, a standard that works via low power Bluetooth (BLE) with the most recent iPads. It works like a charm and has ulta-low latency.
For recording the audio, there are multiple options:
- USB Cable - Limited to 44100Hz though, Mac Only
- Audio jack - Limited to a consumer-grade preamp (but it seems to work for most folks)
- Using a USB-C audio interface - imho the best solution
But the iPad can do a lot more these days. Since M1 was introduced for iPad Pro’s, you can create full-blown productions on these devices. Steinberg even started offering their “Iconica Sketch” for iPad which already makes it possible to start arranging orchestra pieces. Then there’s Staffpad, which has a Spitfire library built-in.
Using the iPad as a pure “expander module” is not the only option. You can just render your material on-device 
- with all this power, I think it’s absolutely time for major software suites like V Collection to hit the iPad.
Can multiple iPad’s be used in synchronisation, with a DAW, say on a Windows PC or even a Mac, with audio routed back to the computer, which is either recorded in real-time (latency compensation) or else, can be delivered via the cloud, as audio files?
I am thinking along the lines of VEP.
Also, does option 1, allow 24bit resolution?
That’s an unrelated (to this topic) but interesting question. I suppose yes since the iPad can act like just any other device controllable via Midi. And you have to consider that many musicians use iPads or Macs/PC’s on live sets in multiple “cloned” instances that are running sync to each other in case one of these fails.
As long as you have the connectivity, this should not be an issue. You can also control several plugins in a multi-timbral setup. I have done so using AUM, which is a playground for audio plugins that has many modular features. Waldorf Blofeld does offer a Multi-Timbral mode as well.
I tried option 1 for a while and I found it limiting. It does not go 24 Bit which is why I went with an audio interface in the end. If you’re curious, it’s this one:
it’s a single little plug that goes into either the camera connection kit or a usb-c hub plugged into the ipad. I found it small and minimal enough. the plug can go 192/24Bit if it needs to but the internal ipad quality seems to stop at 48000/24 - which is still way enough for my production needs.
