Timing Masters

You're viewing grandMA3 2.3 docs. Switch to the latest (2.4).

There are 50 different timing masters. 

They can have values between 0 seconds and 10 seconds.

Timing masters can be set for playback timings instead of a numeric value. They can also be used for timings in combination with playback commands.

Timing masters can be renamed. This can be done in the Menu → Preference and Timings → Masters. Here, the Label command can be used on the masters to change the name and add an appearance, scribble, and tags.

The following properties can be set to a timing master:

  • Timings in sequences: CueIn Fade, CueOut Fade, CueIn Delay, CueOut Delay, Feature Group Fade, and Feature Group Delay
    Read more about using timing masters in sequences in Cue Timing – Timing Masters.
  • Playback Timings in Preferences and Timings
    To show and edit these default playback timings, press Menu → Preferences and Timings → Timings.
    Read more about default playback timings in Cue Timing – Playback Timing.

To set a timing master, edit the value of one of these properties and choose a timing master in the calculator.

Update this description text.
