click track and spdif sync

Bassman I'm sure you'll catch this first, I just skimmed the faqs again and I didn't readily see a quick answer to this. If they are there, just send me back to look again..

1) Is there a way to route the metronome click to an output other than A? I need to supply a click to a drummer, but I don't want to run it off A and simultaneously force him to listen to my possibly awful keyboard noodling. Obviously in performance mode I could build a click onto a track and have that patch (or perc sound) routed out B, but I'm hoping for a way to do it in patch mode... otherwise, is anybody using an external click generator/master midi clock with their fantom that could advise on something small, simple and dirt cheap?

2) Is there a way to make the X spdif sync to an external source, or does it insist on being the master digital sync?

yeah i found this a problem too..
the only solution to routing the click metronome is to route all to B leaving the click on A.
but of course to do this and hear every thing you need a mixer so you can hear A and B

But realisticaly you need more hardware.

My Setup

Well, it will be a temporary thing for me to be actually generating the click so I'll probably just route a woodblock or something out B on an unused track. We have a small mixer that will be used to control the click level and as, conveniently, a headphone amp for the drummer, but I'd really like to find a good master clock that can spit out a hefty click. something that i can throw in my gigbag rather than a 1U rack unit ... Guess I'll start looking :)

Using woodblock on an unused track to B out to a headphone amp is exactly what I do... it's not very elegant but it works!
