#1. I've recorded a song on a Fantom X6 and I want to play it live and send the click/metronome output to the drummer. Is it possible?

#2. Can the Fantom X only have 1 song loaded at a time?
If yes, I need to jump ship to a better workstation. Are there any Roland synths that will allow a sdet list worth of songs loaded?
I have a Yamaha Motif 6 and although it's quite dated, you can still have 16 songs loaded at the same time.

#1 - No. The metronome only sounds when using the step sequencer. You can play your sequenced song with the metronome running, but that wouldn't sound great live. In a studio you can load your sequenced song - go to track 10 (rhythm) and lower the volume of the drums to zero - start the step sequencer - connect headphones to the jack in the back for the drummer.
#2 - Yes. Why would you want more than one song loaded at one time? I've used a Motif also and never loaded more than one song. The Fantom X6 has a 16 track step sequencer. You can record MORE than one track at a time (if this is what you mean?). I used to have the list of sequenced songs (about 50) that I used live with the X6 and would scroll each one to play. Nowadays, many of the new synths have the USB drive connection for your flash drive list of songs.
