Matrixctl Column Set Short Cuts

joel@squarewave.ca — Sat, 03 Jun 2006 00:42:37 +0000

Hi all,

I did a search here, and I know it’s been said a dozen times… so I won’t mention how badly there needs to be a ‘setcolumn’ command. Ahem…

BUT – I will ask…

Before I reinvent the wheel trying to accomplish this… has anyone made a patch that does that effectively? I need an easy way to take the data I’ve gathered using GETCOLUMN, and to put it back into the Matrixctl…

Cheers,
Joel

maybe it didn’t happen because its too simple ?

I just reinvented the wheel, which took less time than writing this
mail… ;-)

Still, if you have changing sizes of matrixctrl, a set collumn/setrow
command could still be helpfull…

What’s needed so much more than that is for matrix~ itself to accept
the “setcolumn” and “setrow” messages. Matrixctrl is good for routing
type situations, but it’s not well-suited to open-ended gain
situations. “Setcolumn” and “setrow” would allow multislider to work
directly with matrix~.

Inevitable plug:
I have a couple of abstractions that do this (PM.MatrixSetOutlet and
PM.MatrixSetInlet); e-mail me off-list if interested. Also, I’ve got
a version of the “function” object (the graphical envelope tool) that
works with matrix~, if anyone’s interested. (so you can have envelopes
on individual matrix~ connections…)

I am, send it on list, ’cause I guess I am not the only one….

There are a lot of “common” problems you seem to have a bag of solutions
for. Even if I have as well solutions, I am always interested in how
others solve the same problem. Sometimes my solutions are suboptimal… ;-)

The Idea to putting individual envelopes on matrix points is an
interesting concept for a lot of applications, especially additive
synthesis…

Cheers guys,thanks.

I’ll see if I can modify that to do what I need it to do.

I’m struggling to find a way to save the state of a large matrix – 64 X 128 – SO I’ve created a small patch that reports and saves to a COLL object, but I’ve been struggling to get the info back into the matrix.

Thanks again,
Joel
