Hi, I am in the eleventh hour of a project, that is supposed to debut in two days. A friend and myself are using puredata to build a home-brew reactable. The problem is I need to be able to route and re-route in real time, the audio signals from a collection of objects. essentially, I need to be able to route the output from one object into the input of any other object which may be on the board. routing is controlled by a set of abstractions that detect the proximity of each object to the others, and determine whether or not a link is created. I have installed the latest version of Pd-extended, to no avail. Neither the matrix~ or mtx~ can be created. I have looked everywhere for the files matrix~.pd_darwin and mtx~.pd_darwin. They are nowhere on my system. I checked Hans's site, the pure data portal, and goto10's website; as well as everything that google has to offer, with no luck. Does any one know where I can get a working copy of this object? From what I can tell it seems like there had been some kind of mixup between objects with the same name in a whole bunch of different libraries; creb, cyclone, iemlib etc. I am desperate to get a working copy of these objects, or even source code which I could compile; I can find neither of these anywhere. I am running OS 10.4 on a Mac PowerPC, but The final patch will need to run on an intel-Mac as well. Any and all help and suggestions are appreciated.

i just found out the other day. it's called [mtx_*~] now.

here's the help file if you don't have it:

Awesome, been looking to build a matrix mixer for some time, this should make it easier.

However, this help file makes no friggin sense whatsoever. If you do in fact understand the funcionality hardoff, could you post a little patch?? I just don't seem to get it. what in the heck does the extra [mtx_whatever 3 2] object do? etc....

P.S. Extended also seems to have mtx_mul~, same thing?

the mtx_whatever objects create special types of matrices.

like, i'd guess that mtx_zeros fills a matrix with zeros.

mtx_eye, if i recall correctly looks like:

1 0 0
0 1 0
0 0 1

sorry, i don't really know. wikipedia or a maths textbook might help.

mtx_mul~ etc are parts of iemmatrix, if that helps
