i do understand the limitations with "Audio"
i do understand the advantages of MIDI
i do understand the disadvantages of MIDI

so why not IGNORE or change the Audya's Audio Parts to Midi
now you have ONLY MIDI like the Yamaha's, Korg's, Rolands.

the Audio parts are there for those who need them, or for when you need them

you don't have to use Audio at all with Audya,

replace the Audio Bass with a Midi Bass,
then you Shift that C# 1/4 note @ the 2nd beat of the 3rd measure anywhere you want, as syncopated as you want

understand?
