Roger,

Welcome to the group. You should be able to record a rhythm track 
into the on-board sequencer and play along with it. I don't have an 
answer to the specific query offhand, but I didn't want you to go 
unheeded before someone came up with a suggestion. Maybe it will be 
me, but not at the moment. I'm too busy to think straight.
