the 8ths/cycle parameter lets you set the time signature that the EDP will 
follow. A "cycle" is the basic loop time element set when you first record 
your loop. So this parameter tells the Echoplex how many 8th notes that 
one 
cycle length contains.  There are plenty of options for 8th/cycle to cover 
just about any time signature. We put the more obvious ones first for 
editing convenience. So when you edit this parameter you have 8, 4, 2, 6, 
12, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and then 1 through 54.

When you use quantize=8th, the quantizing will be to wherever these 8th 
boundaries are in the cycle.

Also for sync, this parameter tells the Echoplex how to determine the loop 
length based on incoming MIDI clock tempo when Sync=in, or what tempo 
clock 
to send out based on the loop length when sync=out.
