Count In - E-Mu XL-7 Command Station Owner's Manual

Count In

Recording triplets is easy since there are four triplet modes (1/4t, 1/8t, 1/16t
and 1/32t). You can also switch between triplet and non-triplet modes to
record complex polyrhythms.
When Input Quantize is turned Off, you are recording in XL-7's high
resolution mode in which beats can be placed on any one of 384 ticks per
measure. High resolution recording is great if you're a good player and want
your performance captured as accurately as possible.
