We're installing a couple Gam Indexing Twinspins in some Lekos today, and I can't seem to find a profile for them in the Ion (Software 1.7). In fact, it looks like Gam isn't even listed as a manufacturer. After searching the forum, there was a user or two who mentioned he's used them before, but didn't talk about patching it in.

Anyone have experience using these with this console? Is there another profile by a different manufacturer that'll work, or do I need to build a custom profile?

 

Here's a link to the product's site:

Thanks for the tip. I checked the Rosco Indexing Rotator manual vs the Gam Twinspin manual, and have found the following:

Rosco Mode2 is the same as Gam's Mode1

Rosco Mode3 is the same as Gam's Mode3

 

So, using these I am able to make it work. I also passed along the word to the Development team, and they said that they'll include the Twinspins in the next software update.

Rosco  Indexing Rotator M1 Single (or something like that.)

 

This would give you the same thing as Mode 1 on the GAM single rotator.  

 

Hope that helps
