Thankyou Frank for the reply/patch. I thoughtmatrix (without the ~) might be useful in an rfft filter of some sort (or a similar set up with another object that spits out lots of values) but it isn't clear to me how to glue the bits together.

Both matrix objects do calculations on matrices, that is, on grids of x*y values. They can be very useful for transformations of vectors, for example you can rotate 3d-vectors by an angle and calculate that with a rotation matrix. You also could of course use them to compute certain things on 2-dimensional lists like you get in fft. If you read a bit on the underlying matrix math you will surely get lots of ideas. If those can be made into sonically useful applications is another question. I really like to use the signal matrix~ in mixer-like applications, for routing purposes or adjustable effect-sends. I seldom use the float matrix, though. They surely will be interesting in physical modeling stuff, as physicists have to deal with matrices *everywhere*.

Ciao
