I'm a music composition/technology major at the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee, currently taking a course in PD, and also studying
it in private lessons. I am wondering if anyone has any experience with
matrix-type switching, i.e. a modular system in which any module can
connect to any other module in any order.
Matrix-type switching doesn't allow "in any order", it's just a
super-spigot that can handle all connections from M outlets to N outlets
using a M by N grid of toggles.
I'm especially concerned with expandability, in my current layout, if I
have n objects, I have to have n-squared switches. Above a certain
number, adding a module could become very time-consuming.
The only way around that is to not include every possibility. Break down
your matrix into smaller matrices according to which effect combinations
are least likely.
I also need the ability for the system to allow recursive patching.
Recursively patching the DSP requires delay lines.
I'd really appreciate it if anyone has any insight into this problem and
could possibly shine some light towards a solution.
Maybe if you shone some light towards a complete analysis of your
problem...
