Hi Dave, As always, glad to hear from you! The scanned synthesis matrix editor in blue reads and writes the "long-format" or "format-0" (these are my terms) format of scanned synthesis matrix files, which were the original format created. There is a shorthand format created that is easier to hand edit but a little more difficult to parse which is not supported. Information on the file format is available at: http://www.csounds.com/manual/html/SiggenScanTop.html Most of the example scanned matrices out there use the original format-0 format. There is one such matrix included in the "on the sensations of tone" piece that is in the blue/examples/pieces/onTheSensationsOfTone folder (string-128 is the file). A basic description of the matrix format is that you have your masses in a table listed across the x and y axis, and you set up the connection of the masses together by putting them in xy coordinates.=20 Technically the format allows values 0-1.0 for the strength of the mass connection, but the only examples I've seens use either 1 or 0 to define the connections, and blue is limited to only those values as well. Hope that helps and let me know if there's anything that requires better explanation! steven On 2/20/06, Dave Seidel <da...@su...> wrote: > Hi Steven, > > Sorry to have been absent for so long, just been busy with other things. > After a couple of projects where I just used a text editor (too simple > for blue to be very helpful), I am catching up with the latest version > -- very very nice! > > I have a question about a component I've never used before: the scanned > synthesis matrix editor.
