The Grand Masters are a selection of 6 different masters that can be assigned to executors.

They are:

- **SpecialMaster 2.1 'Grand'**
- **SpecialMaster 2.2 'Program Time'**
- **SpecialMaster 2.3 'Exec Time'**
- **SpecialMaster 2.4 'Snd Out'**
- **SpecialMaster 2.5 'Snd In'**
- **SpecialMaster 2.6 'Snd Fade'**

The **Grand** is the Grand Master. This has a dedicated physical fader, but can also be assigned to any Executor.

**Program Time** and **Exec time** are described in the [Time Control topic](/grandma2/key_ws_time_control/). They are used to modify the fade time used by the programmer and to temporary overwrite the stored cue timing.

**Snd Out or Sound Out** is the volume of the console. There is a small build in speaker that can be used to play different system sounds.

The **Snd In or Sound In** is the master for the incoming sound. Read more about this and the **Snd Fade** in the [Sound Input topic](/grandma2/key_ost_sound_input_window/).
