This device was created to extend the abilities of a normal Artiste Rotator.
It is FREE to current and future owners of the Artiste Performer Series.
It allows for segmented moves comparable to that of watch-movements with configurable intervals and movement slices around a circle.
It also provides for inter-dependent movement triggering.
Gears can of course can be stopped, started, paused, and resumed via AutoFX. This allows for coordinated stopping of say
tires on a car when the car stops or a slowing down of the rotation as the car slows. It could allow for those ‘rims that keep spinning’ to continue on after a car stops. Graduated moments can be pronounced enough to add drama to a backwards countdown.. Can create a stopwatch. Can show impending doom and doom-avoidance with simulated ‘gauge’ movements.
There is a “prime” function that pre-syncs the gears so they can all resume at the same time in sync from whence they left off.
It deprecates the:
RotationStopEvery,0.0
RotationStopFor,0.0
in the Palette
Each gear contains 1 script and one notecard.
Gears can also be Palettized for additional functionality.
Each gears direction is configurable
Configurable channel-to-channel communications
