Matrix mousedown problems

[woodslanding]

I am having 2 problems with mousedown on the matrix:

First of all, no mousedown information is sent if the clicked cell is the same as 'last clicked cell'. I often change the data in the matrix programmatically, and need a mousedown to be sent even if it's in the same cell, as it will now trigger computation of a new value.

I can't actually think of a use for a mousedown event if it is not independent of a change in the value of lastClicked..... a hasChanged on lastClicked would give you the current mousedown behaviour.

Secondly, I'm finding that if a change in the matrix triggers a processor intensive event, such as loading a bank from a VST, no mouseUP event is sent.

That's okay, but then the next mouseDown event sends a 0 instead of a 1.

I've actually worked around the 2nd of these, but cannot think of a workaround for the first.

Thoughts?

thanks,

Which matrix module are you using ?
In the SDK modules directory there is
Matrix - Audio Mix
Matrix - Data Mix
Matrix - Display or Set
Matrix - Midi Mix.

It's the display or set.

I seem to have found a workaround. I put a wait1bloc after the mouse out on the matrix. Now the matrix has a chance to send the mouseUP before processing takes over.

Not a bad workaround at all!
