Hallo,

mtx_*~ is the replacement object for matrix~ in the current iemmatrix
as it is in CVS, so I guess, you are not running the latest iemmatrix?
It also might be that you need to build and load iemmatrix as a
library, because "mtx_*~ is a strange name. Maybe IOhannes knows more? 

Do you have "matrix~"? You could replace [mtx_*~] with [matrix~], however then
you also need to adapt the arguments and connections according to this comment
from mtx_mul~.c:

  /* arguments parsing:
   *  this might depend on whether we are creating an object 
   *  [mtx_*~], [matrix~] or [matrix_mul_line~]
   *
   * [mtx_*~  [#out [#in [time]]]]:  in1=matrix; in2-in(#in+1)=signals; in(#in+2)=time
   * [matrix~ [#in [#out [time]]]]:  in1-in(#in)=signals; in(#in+1)=matrix; in(#in+2)=time
   * [matrix_mul_line~ [#in [#out [time]]]]: in1=matrix; in1=time; in1-in(#in):=signals
   *
   * furthermore:
   *  [mtx_*~] and [matrix_mul_line~] : O^=A*I^
   *  [matrix~]                       : O^'=I^'*B
   *
   *  with "matrix=(A or B)" and "A=B'"
   */

Unfortunatly [mtx_*~] doesn't have a help patch.

If you load the help file, this shouldn't happen. rrad.pdx7~.pd is
intended to become part of the RRADical collection, so you need to
create it with a first argument starting with a slash to use the OSC
and state-saving functionality of RRADical. If you don't supply a
/argument, then you will get this error message and you will not be
able to use OSC or state saving. Everything else should continue to
work.

This is the [OSCroute $1] from above that wasn't created, because $1
is empty is 0 and thus a float argument that is "not OK", as far as
OSCroute is concerned.
