The most competent DAW in iOS I found in regards of these things, and sync possibilities, was N-Track, unfortunately I had problems with audio routing on it using interfaces with more than one stereo output pair, ie. making it NOT send out audio on all the output pairs/streams...   In general N-Track is a very competent iOS DAW imho, compared to most of the others available (not tried Logic as mentioned..), you can even set it up to slave under midi clock or MTC, very rare even on computer based platforms! Reason I was looking for this was when using a hardware sequencer, having audio just following while the sequencer is the master and where I control everything.      

This song "Life During Wartime" and some others like The Rolling Stones "Miss You" have the quarter note kick beat of Disco. But I don't consider either to be Disco songs, and I like both of them.   I truly love the live version of 'Life During Wartime" from the 'Stop Making Sense" movie, and I would love for our covers band to cover that version.  

Thanks!   I'm really only trying to sequence my PC4-7 to work on ideas. Not for live performance. No audio.    So let's disregard stability for a moment. Since you've tried every iOS DAW, do you know which ones allow time signature changes in a long form linear sequence?

Well, the switcher IC arrived yesterday and I installed it. Not a nice experience due to the soldering... It is a very tiny IC (about 5x5mm), with no pins on it, and a big ground area which makes soldering harder:       This is the bad one:     Kapton tape used to protect adjacent components:     After some soldering and cleaning work (there are two pins joined by a trace on the PCB, is not a fault), here you have the new IC placed:     Then the test, using a lab power supply, set at 9V 0.5A maximum... And the switcher generated positive and negative voltages, but not the right ones 🤯. It seemed like a problem on the ICs powered by this power supply. And, finally, I found there was a failure in one of the connections of the replaced IC and so the positive output had gone too high... And no less than 5 double opams had died (luckily, all same type). Oh well... I removed them, soldered another switcher IC (as it was just impossible to get the soldering right), and now I have +9 and -9Vdc 🥳   One of the damaged opamps:     Now I am waiting for the replacement opamps to arrive. Let's hope once replaced (will do it one by one and recheck voltages carefully each time) the Venom will finally generate some noise! 😅

I just bought one used two days ago.   I had in the past (a very past) the original ARP Odissey and an Avatar (the guitar version of the Odissey). They sounded quite differenti, and now I understand why: two different version of the filter. A friend of mine still have the all black one with coloured sliders, which Is again different, maybe two poles filter?   Anyway the Behringer sounds good but a bit differenti too.   My ARP had a ring modulator I used to build fabolous bell like sounds: metallic, full of harmonics.    The kind of sound you can hear on Japan Tin Drum or Oil on Canvas albums.   Until now I couldn't recreate this sound.    Neither the Avatar did. Just my ARP Odissey I sold for little Money :(

In V.A.S.T., be it the original V.A.S.T. or the newer vaster V.A.S.T. with Cascade and Dynamic, there are several ways you can use internal DSP sources with Samples:   1. Samples only 2. Internal DSP Oscillators only without any Sample 3. Samples mixed with internal DSP Oscillators   In the new V.A.S.T., you can certainly use a multi-sampled Keymap, alongside an internal anti-aliased DSP Osc, e.g. a 2-block SINE+ for a single Layer, or even an aliased one like the old SAW+.   For larger AA DSP Oscs, e.g. the 4-block SAW, you'd need to use Cascade Mode, a passthrough signal and a Mixer ALG.   So these aren't mutually exclusive. Instead, what the manual seems to indicate is that if you want to do a traditional analogue subtractive synth, then you'd rather not use a Keymap, which makes sense since analogue subtractive synths don't use them at all.   You can  still use a Keymap's sample Envelope if it is set to Natural, even if the Sample itself isn't sounding via the Layer, say, if you have simply a 4-block AA DSP SAW. That SAW block effectively cuts off any of the Sample signal. However, as the AMPENV mode is set to Natural, it is the factory AMPENV for that multi-Sampled Keymap that is applied to the Layer.   The Natural envelopes have more details than can be produced with a User AMPENV.   The thing that happens with setting the Keymap to Silence is that it sets each key's amplitude to the same maximum amplitude. Maybe that's what you need in a certain program, but sometimes, if you are doing an emulative program, you could be better off actually referencing the emulation's Keymaps Sample although the latter isn't heard, with the corresponding Natural Envelope, or of course, you could just go into User Mode and make your own envelope.   Hope this helps.

Sweetwater might accept to deliver to Canada, but you will be charged transport accordingly and as anything going USA to Canada your item will go through customs and it is always possible to end up with extra fees - sometimes very expensive. I personally had a very bad experience about 10 years ago and promised myself to never import again from the USA unless the seller confirms on paper he pays for all possible customs and duties extra fees.   Buying Kurzweil products in Canada has always been complicated. In the 1990s a few stores in the province kept a couple of them, but if you wanted something they didn't have you had to order sight unseen and wait months to get your purchase. That is how I bought my MIDIboard, K1200 and finally, around 2000, a PC2X. I hated the Fatar action on the PC2X from day one and swore to never buy a keyboard sight unseen ever again.
