Metronome in Polyend Synth

What is the problem?

As a user I would like to have a metronome click available on my Polyend Synth.

What should this feature achieve?

This would be a useful feature to help follow the beat, especially while playing something other than arp/seq. The metronome could be a simple click that follows the tempo and could be enabled through the Main Menu. Since Synth doesn’t offer any recording functionality, this could just be an on/off feature, as opposed to other similar devices offering rec only/play+rec/etc options for their metronome. Synth is not a percussion focused device, so probably a simple click sound would work, without the need for a different sound for the 4th beat or even the option to set different time signatures (4/4, 3/4, etc).

Are there any workarounds?

It is possible to implement a simple metronome on Synth by dedicating one of the three synths to play a simple sound using an arpeggiator or sequencer, but it’s not very convenient as this forces the user to “sacrifice” one of the three synths.
