Selected masters give access to the individual masters of the selected sequence. They adjust the levels and timing of the selected sequence.

Selected masters can be [assigned](/grandma3/2-3/executor_assign/) to executors and special executors.

Read more about the functions of the masters and assigning masters to executors in the [Assign Object to an Executor](/grandma3/2-3/executor_assign/) topic, especially the [Change Fader Function](/grandma3/2-3/executor_assign/#h2_556425614) section.

The selected masters are:

- **Master 1.1 'Master'\
