Hi all. I've been working on a monome x0x-style drum sequencer in m4l. plugsync~ is handling the timing duties (with swing!) and js is taking care of button presses and general functionality. Since javascript isn't good for timing I'm dumping the note data to a matrixctrl to be triggered in time using getcolumn.

Everything is working fine so far but I wonder if there's something better than matrixctrl. Right now it's just storing binary values (note-on) but I'm going to add velocity and possibly other parameters to each cell, so matrixctrl seems like a dead end. I looked at jit.matrix but that might be overkill. I'm pretty new to this, so if someone could give me a nudge in the right direction I can hopefuly take it from there.

If it helps, my data structure in javascript is a 2d array of note objects/properties, if that makes sense.

Thanks, Andrew
