Question on Matrix view

sometimes i save all my clips by dragging them into the media browser in project specific and classified folders then i can just open a project and drag them from the browser to the matrix. 
i just have some live stuff that i do with pre-rendered audio as background/ambience and some synth intros and outros that i program on the fly combined with matrix view. 
guess it depends on the circumstance. 
one of the other things that i do is i've had a couple of shows where we have a shared drive set up on the performance system and one of the performers will be programming patches for synths throughout the performance which i assign as they come into the shared drive and another person is programming midi sequences and saving those to the shared location, then i'll use matrix to more or less randomly assign the sequences to synths i have set up in matrix and also assign the new patches in the synths we're running. 
matrix has lots and lots of options.  

Glad you found the video useful. As swamptooth has pointed out there's so many ways of  working and variations of settings in the Matrix the possible combinations and workflows are almost endless.

I use it more as a tool for inspiration than anything else, a bit like a musical sketch pad that I then fill out later. I ignored it for years as well, more fool me, I find it great to get ideas flowing.
