I've worked out a possible solution to this one, but my lack of skill is preventing me from executing more than about 4 steps. So before I beat my brains out repeatedly trying the wrong thing, I'll just ask if I'm on the right track.

As you stand in the control room facing the funnel matrix, label the rows of laser bells from closest to the matrix to farthest as A, B, C, D. Label the columns of laser bells from left to right as 1, 2, 3, 4.

My solution path

Spoiler
B, 4, D, 3, B, 4, 2, 1, 4, 2, B.

Without info_placement helpers, I miss placing a portal perfectly by the fourth step. And even if I get the portal placement right, my poor timing gets me. So without drastic improvement in my skill, I'll never make this path work.

Making a pen-on-paper diagram is essential for solving this map, and I still have the one I made. I really admire the logical puzzle that Chander has created with this map, but it is frustratingly hard to see the results of your actions when you make them.

@KennKong, If I follow your path correctly, it will always fail at either the 7th or 8th step. But you are definitely on the right track, especially if things are where you want them to be after the 4th step.
Good luck. :)

You were right on both counts. You'll have a hard time finding the solution without a diagram, and my previous solution would fail.

The actual solution was much shorter (in number of steps).

It took me countless tries to perfect the timing on this one. Maybe if I can repeat it tomorrow without three hours of wasted video, I'll post a solution video.
