Well, Nicole and others, I have everything working correctly. When you mentioned loading and playing a sequence and running the metronome that I understood the error of my ways. I thought the metronome should run independent of a sequence so one could adjust tempo. Once I heard the metronome during a playback, I figured that I'd have to set tempo during a recording. I inserted a track and started recording, adjusting the tempo. Naturally I didn't keep the recording.
I sincerely thank you, Richard Wells and others who helped me get this working. The instrument list is a super idea because it lets us hear any or all available sounds contained in our equipment.
