[maxmsp] Re: saving CPU with poly~

Thanks Michael,

In my application, the signal connections (basically, the input into 
the gate~) is changing very frequently (on the order of tens to 
hundreds of milliseconds), so I'm not sure if the scripting approach 
will work...

I'll give matrix~ a try...

Thanks,
Dan
