thanks Roger, but what you sent me appears to be the OS9 version 

(created/modifies dates are 20 July 1998)

and doesn't work on OS X - it needs to see an object called ca1s (you 

sent me an OS9 version of this object but that doesn't work in OS X) 

and there are possibly also other issues.

Cellsound has been rewritten by jhno for OSX, and i think that 

ossibly this object (which doesn't appear to exist for OSX- at least 

i can't find it in the usual places, nor with googlesearch) is no 

longer needed ??? In the OS9 version there is also use of the unit 

object which i think might have issues or need an update for OS X ...

what i need is jhno's cellsound for OSX package, or a working link to 

this (as i said there is a problem with jhno's page at c74)

>> found this on my disk, doesn't seem to be os specific, plays fine 

while the name (cellsound v1.0x) & modification date: 19 Feb 2004

Do you (or anyone else) have an OSX compatible ca1s object ?

in any case, if max doesn't give you an error message on launching 

cellsound, could you send me your ca1s object so i can try it with

but are you sure this plays OK for you ?
while the name (cellsound v1.0x) & modification date: 19 Feb 2004

can't find it anywhere.

thanks again for your help

As others wanted it too, i put it here:
http://www.stillavailable.com/cellsound040220.sit
asuming this is ok with the author.

Unstuffing it gives me a folder with the patch, an abstraction called 
unit, and the object ca1s plus a folder containing its source. All 
working fine.

i downloaded that one & it now works fine

presumably the first try that you emailed me must have got corrupted 

anyway all is good now - thanks again, and to Roger too, for your help

ps i should think it would be ok with jhon, as there is it is 

supposed to be available on his page at the c74 site ...

Wow ! Nice ! It's been weeks since I tried to remember where did I 

see such a site with a pink background and that cute rabbit. Here it is.

Aaaah. It made my day once more. I hope you don't mind if I bookmark
