Data routing
May 10 2006 | 1:13 pm
Hello everyone,
Does anyone know if there is any way to route data in the same way you would signals, when using matrix~ and matrixctrl? I want to be able to route the data from a key object to one of four select objects. But the data needs to be routed to one at a time, with only one select object receiving the data at any given moment.
Can anyone help as i've nearly chewed my teeth out trying to work it out?
Cheers
Jay

- May 10 2006 | 1:39 pmJust noticed that router is NOT part of the standarddistribution, but is in fact a Jitter object.However, I think it's one of those like jit.cellblockthat you can keep after the trial version of Jitterruns out.This info, btw, I gleaned from searching for the word'matrix' at www.maxobjects com ('cos i couldn'tremember the name of router) - a top tip for any suchquery,cheersRoger
- May 10 2006 | 1:42 pmSorry folks. Does router work in the same way as matrix~?Edit:Whoops. Thanks for the info folks. I have router and it does indeed work exactly as matrix~ for my needs. I can be so stupid! I did read the help file but it suggested that it didn't so I gave up.Thanks againJay

- May 10 2006 | 2:46 pmWhile you're checking the docs on "router", look for "forward" too. Routingone source to one destination and having it variable its all you need.-thijs

- May 10 2006 | 7:15 pmYou know, you can set "only one cell per column" in the inspector forthe matrix object, and then the whole top portion of your patch isunnecessary.b--barry threw :: sound | (if you would see the stars clearly,http://www.barrythrew.com | look hard at the surrounding darkness)bthrew(at)gmail(dot)com | -Ooka Makoto857-544-3967 |
