Hi guys. I currently have a patch i'm working on to allow flex sensors to control different effects but i'm really struggling to get information going from the matrix to effects. Here i've attached my patch, basically i want flex sensor 1 to control the cut off of the filter. any help would be greatly appreciated.

A [matrix~] works with map signals, and the cutoff of the filter is a regular max value. You could consider using a [router 5 5] object instead, which also can be controlled by a [matrixctrl]. Something else I find useful is to stick an image behind a [matrictrl] so I know which column and row is connected to what. Good luck!

thank you i've made some progress but i'm stumped again. i want the flex sensors to control one effect at a time e.g sensor to control the feedback of the delay, but having a mode where i can switch sensor 1 to control the liveness of the verb without moving any other sensors. sorry for this, im so stressed at uni and my desperation level is at all time low :(

If you have a [router] where every sensor arrives at its own input, you can control the routing of the signal to independent destinations flawlessly. You can send lists to a [matrixctrl] so the switch will be a one step routing that takes care of all kinds of source -> destination routings at once. Post what you've got and explain where it fails. Good luck!

heres the patch so far. basically the red arrow is what i'm happy with but the blue arrow is where the problem lies. flex sensor 1 (r a0) will control both the first inlet of the tape delay and reverb but i only want it to control one at a time and somehow make a mode where i can change what inlet it controls

I think you simply need more destinations in your [router]. After all, you have 5 sources and you want to be able to assign any sources to more than 5 destinations. See if the patch below makes some sense of the idea:

do you have an email i could contact you further about this?

Well, yeah, but why not post the problem in exact terms with your patch (copy compressed) here, so others can learn from it as well? You see, I have helped many people privately in the past but it ends up as me trying to state their exact problem and then solve it for them. What fun is that? Max is all about learning and doing logical puzzles yourself. You will see when you define your problem in exact unambiguous terms, you will have solved part (if not all) of it already. Good luck!
