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?

Router, in the standard distribution, or if your on a Mac, Panaiotis' matrix will also do the job - it's at:

Just noticed that router is NOT part of the standard

distribution, but is in fact a Jitter object. 

However, I think it's one of those like jit.cellblock

that you can keep after the trial version of Jitter

This info, btw, I gleaned from searching for the word

'matrix' at www.maxobjects com ('cos i couldn't

remember the name of router) - a top tip for any such

Sorry folks. Does router work in the same way as matrix~?

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.

Sorry guy, see help file and reference (Max reference).

While you're checking the docs on "router", look for "forward" too. Routing

one source to one destination and having it variable its all you need.

Thanks for your help, i've got it working just fine for what I wanted. Here is the code if anyone is interested or needs it:

You know, you can set "only one cell per column" in the inspector for 

the matrix object, and then the whole top portion of your patch is 

barry threw :: sound | (if you would see the stars clearly,

 | look hard at the surrounding darkness)

unnecessary.

Thank you all. I have gone with the gate patch, as it's nice and simple and does exactly what I need. Once again thank you.
