strategy for interfacing the pattr system with [jit.cellbock] which 

may help you or others out. It uses [poly~] for non-MSP work, 

something Peter Elsea's tutorials turned me onto.

It's currently 1-dimensional because that's all I needed, but maybe 

could be adapted? [jit.cellblock] has to be at the top of my 

wishlist for objects that should interface with pattr system. I 

traded emails with Jeremy about this a while back, but I'll repeat my

Let me know what you think.  Save both files, then open the

I'll have a look at this after I finish my commission. In the meantime, I

have found a simple work around. Use a / as a message delimiter instead of

have found a simple work around.  Use a / as a message delimiter instead of
a comma.
