All sequences, chases and cues on the grandMA can be synchronized by using Linear Timecode (LTC) or MIDI
Timecode (MTC).
Timecode synchronization can be used to trigger one or more controllers to synchronize with an audio or video
recording. SMPTE 24-, 25- and 30 Drop and Non-Drop Frames are encoded time information, e.g. recorded on a
separate track of a multitrack tape (frequency range of 1–2 kHz). Normally, this Timecode is already added when
compiling the music, e.g. for presentations, but it can also be recorded afterwards in a regular recording studio. If
the music is recorded in stereo, a third track is needed for the Timecode.
All sequences programmed into the grandMA can be synchronized by Timecode.
During the playback of the tape, the Timecode information is transmitted to the connected controllers. Each
controller has an internal memory that triggers the activation of a specific program at a given point of time. On
the grandMA, the EXTERNAL LTC Timecode can be connected via a jack socket and the MTC via Midi IN on the rear
of the unit.

Here the major advantages of the new Timecode System:
- Timecode shows are organised in a pool. The basic handling of timecode shows like edit, copy, delete, etc. is
totally compliant with the rest of the console‘s syntax.
- Timecode shows are completely embedded into the command line. So you can now start timecode show
number 5 from a macro.
- GOTO commands are supported and are used as the default when recording normal GOs. This means that the
timecode show is referancing absolute cue numbers.
- Cue names and numbers are displayed in the timecode show.
- All kinds of executor fader movements are recordable. So you can now record the change of a chaser speed or a
manual crossfade.
- Automatic fader data reduction, reducing the amount of recorded fader movements dramatically and allowing
easier manual editing afterwards.
- Free choice of editing in graphic or text mode. Text mode supports filtering so that you can watch only the
executors that you want to.
- Blind programming.
- No restrictions to the number of timecode shows running at one time; memory permiting of course.
- No restrictions for “no mouse please, users”. The timecode show can be fully edited with the encoders and/or
the touchscreens.
- Timecode shows can be “write-protected”. So if you only want to watch your show running, you will not
accidentally change something.
- Copy / Paste functions between different timecode shows is now possible. Timecode shows can be merged
together.
- Autostart feature for timecode shows, e.g. the show will automatically load and run upon detection of the
correct SMPTE signal.
- Repeat function with definable number of repeats for timecode shows with internal synchronisation.
