The Hexic transform ρ of the noncommutative 2-torus A θ is the canonical order 6 automorphism defined by ρ(U ) = V , ρ(V ) = e −πiθ U −1 V , where U , V are the canonical unitary generators obeying the unitary Heisenberg commutation relation VU = e 2πiθ UV. The Cubic transform is κ = ρ 2 . These are canonical analogues of the noncommutative Fourier transform, and their associated fixed point C * -algebras A ρ θ , A κ θ are noncommutative Z 6 , Z 3 toroidal orbifolds, respectively. For a large class of irrationals θ and rational approximations p/q of θ , a projection e of trace q 2 θ − pq is constructed in A θ that is invariant under the Hexic transform. Further, this projection is shown to be a matrix projection in the sense that it is approximately central, the cut down algebra eA θ e contains a Hexic invariant q × q matrix algebra M whose unit is e and such that the cut downs eUe, eVe are approximately inside M. It is also shown that these invariant matrix projections are covariant in that they arise from a continuous section E(t) of C ∞ -projections of the continuous field {A t } 0
