Hey folks, so I've had this thing for a while and, with the updated OS, I am loving it!
Here's my question: I have poured over the manual, and can't figure out how to do something that seems like it should be simple. Basically, I want to have a drum track that I can use in place of a metronome, for songwriting. I know that I can go into song mode and program drums with the sequencer, but I really don't want to go through all that. I would, ideally, like to use the "Mix" feature to do this, but I can't figure out how to do it from the manual.
Some of the Mixes that come stock on the Fusion have drum loops start immediately after pressing a key. I would like to set up something like that, but I can't find where the looping drums are in the sound categories. I can make a mix with individual drum hits spread across the keys, but I would like to have a whole loop that I can trigger when I want (maybe on the low C key) so that I can then write music and have the drum loop act as a metronome.
If this isn't possible, is there simply a metronome feature that an be activated without going into song mode and using the sequencer?
Thanks a lot for any help, and I apologize if this is a stupid question. I am pretty bad with the technological side of things. I just bought this thing for the keys and the sounds (and maybe eventually some light synth programming), not for the sequencer or most of the other workstation features.
