First step in my development of a Switch Matrix, slight ripoff of the lfo module in the example synth. Its scaleable (colums).

Problems atm: a self-scaling unpacking module seems impossible

Any ideas?

Explain a bit more please, i don't understand exactly what you want. Did you want the graph data to scale?

No, atm you can set the amount of switches with the cells input. This works great for the first module. The problem is just, that if you want to extract all switches from the graph, you have to modify the extract module, as it can't modify itself in that manner.

A Quick workaround that comes to my mind would be a series of modules that cover like 5,10,20,30 and so on cells and you would just crop away the unneeded outputs. But this is just not that satisfying 😉

Why don't you make another output that feedbacks to input new data and modifys the extract module? Although im not sure whats happening within the module so i dont know for sure.

The extraction module is just going through the indexes with a wTimer and putting out the data to a fixed amount of outputs.

I thought about using the bus module, but it doesn't support graph data yet, and you would just shift the problem to the input of the chain

Ahh i dunno then dude 🙁 good luck though 🙂

Is this for the examples pack you have made, if so and its ok i could take a look at the schematic if you want.

Ok thanks, i will take a look and see if i can help 🙂

Ok i now know exactly what you mean. The answer is you cannot do that, you will have to expand the width of the window, so i suggest you set a max and min on the amount. You could then place it in another module and use another module to center it or something which might work quite well. Or you could have black background or something and the switches in a white area (or whatever colors you want) and then expand the white box when you increase the number of switches which would give the same effect basically.
