    • I got one to try. The clamp is surprisingly strong. As are the arms that hold the tablet... possibly distressingly so, as the strength required to get the arms around the 12.9 is substantial. It is pretty flexible in how you can configure it... this photo shows that I rotated the clamp 90 degrees from how it was illustrated above:     The biggest limitation I found is the lack of any further height adjustment. To use it in the way I illustrated there and likewise as described in the OP (on the rear of the stand that is supporting the keyboard), you can't necessarily get the height you'd want to be able to see/manipulate it behind the keyboard. Here it is behind a Fantom-0, which is borderline... it just barely makes it, even though I've mounted the iPad very low in the mount (which to its credit, still seems very stable). I would prefer to get the tablet higher so I could actually fit the back of the keyboard underneath it, A higher board would be that much more problematic.    
    • I don't know if they're the best, but I use YouTubeTV + Sunday Ticket.   I've never had any issues except the local blackouts and occasional exclusive deal like that one game on the Peacock Network that the YouTube doesn't carry.    I just checked and still have access to all of last years games.    I watch on both desktop web browser and AppleTV on the TV.  Ususally on playback as I don't have the patience or time to sit through a live game.
    • Not sure what you are paying but guitar center has a number of used Montages, and you get the 45 day return window. That said, used is indeed more of a risk, I've had a couple keyboards (both Kurzweils) have issues pop up after that window. They have a couple white ones too, which IMO are super sharp looking   Montage 7 is 37 lbs btw, which is getting up there a bit!

    • 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.
