Encoders in matrix designs

[Psykhaze]

Need some technical advice about a question:
May encoders be managed in a switch matrix design?
see http://wiki.midibox.org/doku.php?id=switch#connection
it may allow to manage large encoders numbers by having less DIN/DOUTs inputs outputs

No, you can't handle encoders this way.

Correct, imho because otherwise some encoder-turning events might get lost. A matrix always has a limited scan time per input line. Normal tactile switches are pressed at least a hundred milliseconds or so, these events will always be captured. But fast-turned encoders might pulse the input lines much faster and for shorter durations.

Thanks for the precision peter , i didn't get why at first sight =) now clear.
