An articulation begins its transformation at the
STARTTIME. The transformation itself is defined by the STARTVALUE, which specifies the value of the transformation at the beginning of a cycle, and the ENDVALUE, which specifies the value of the transformation at the end of a cycle. The time required to complete one cycle is specified by the PERIOD. The articulation ends at
[STARTTIME+DURATION].
Depending on the values specified for
PERIOD and
DURATION, the articulation can cycle any number of times:
If you specify a
PERIOD of 0.0, a
DURATION value of
PERIOD is automatically assigned. You can have a number of cycles in one
DURATION.
