14.1 Introduction
The grandMA Replay Unit is a small rack mount controller unit that performs nearly all of the functions of the
Award winning grandMA console. At 19” x 17” x 5”, it requires a very little space, while offering 100%
compatibility with the larger consoles.
The grandMA Replay Unit is designed to perform as a stand-alone show controller on exhibitions, in theme parks or
other venues. In conjunction with one of the grandMA consoles, it also becomes a very powerful backup system
capable of running an entire show in full tracking backup mode despite its reduced hardware.

Quick and easy loading of a show from floppy disk. This key complies with the following steps on the grandMA:
“Backup-Load Floppy”. If monitor and mouse are connected, you can follow the instructions in chapter

Saving or loading a SHOW. Without these, you would proceed as follows: Confirm, if you wish to save the actual
show on the internal harddisk in advance by pressing the page keys / key no. 1 to 3.
Key no. 1: Save actual show on harddisk before loading show from floppy.
Key no. 2: Do not save on harddisk before loading show from floppy.
Key no. 3: Cancels the actual load task.
Without a floppy disk inserted, you will get an error message on the display. Confirm with key no. 1.
This procedure is also valid for many other “Pop Up menus” of the grandMA.

The “Off Key” has the same function as the “Off Key” on the grandMA. Together with the Executor Buttons or the
appearing menu on the monitor, you can switch off active executors. You can switch off the executor by
simultaneously pressing the “Off Key” and the respective “Executor Button”.

There are 5 Executor Faders available. These five faders correspond to the faders no. 1 to 5 on the grandMA. Faders
no. 6 to 20 (Faders 6 to 10 on the grandMA light) are not available. This becomes especially important when
programming the show on the grandMA and “running” the show afterwards with the Replay Unit. These faders are
not motorized, so that the actual values have to be “grabbed” after switching pages. If the faders are not located at
the actual value, the respective LEDs within the buttons will flash, until the value has been reached by moving the
fader. Channel faders are not available.

Three Executor Buttons are available for each Executor Fader (as on the grandMA). These 15 Executor Fader But-
tons correspond with the Fader Buttons no. 1 to 5 on the grandMA. Fader Button no. 6 to 20 (Fader Button no. 6 to
10 on the grandMA light) are not available. This becomes particularly important when programming the show on
the grandMA and “running” the show afterwards on the Replay Unit.
