[maxmsp] Re: signal process selected pitches

I avoid gate~ or selector~ generally unless they are needed for certain things. there's mute~ for turning off the signal path totally (to free up DSP power). But it sounds like you're looking for matrix~. You can set the glide time to shut on and off the signal paths when they are switched. The gainfaders also have built-in interpolation time, but to mute / unmute you need to store the original fader level so you can go back to it. matrix~ is easier (and provides a lot of inlets / outlets). 

Plus you can use preset, pattr, or mtr with them.... great stuff!
