>>2. No Force to Scale. If I create a pattern with major intervals, when I play a C on the keyboard, it plays in C major.  When I play a D on the keyboard, it plays in D major. I think I need to edit the MIDI in a DAW to keep the piece in C major.<<

you might be able to use a custom tuning table for the preset. I edited the tuning of the notes I didn't want to hear to be the same as the notes I did want to hear. it's a bit laborious, but you can get the patch to stay in key & you can also get a bit creative with microtonal stuff, to emulate real CV/gate synths for instance, or more exotic instruments.
the user-tuning tables are down the far end of the master edit menu, I think, & you select the one you want for all four layers of the patch.

outside of that, midi solutions do a box called the super event processor, which can be programmed (with s/w on their site) to remap up to 32 note numbers onto any other note number, either on a single channel or on all channels. this is good for over five octaves... 
I've just done this & intend to install the processor in the back of a doepfer maq. the sequencer will then play a minor scale (of course!) which I can transpose by retuning the instrument it's connected to.
