Counting In To A Song - Roland MT-90U Owner's Manual

Counting in to a Song

The MT-90U can play a count sound before a song begins. This is called a "Count In."
You can also hear a count during the lead-in to a song, before the melody begins. This
feature is called the "Intro Countdown." When you want your playing to match the song,
counting in to the song with this feature makes it easier for you to get your timing right.
