Any reason you post this to the javascript forum? the regular max  
list would be more appropriate i guess.

well, i have been making heavy use of MBROLA last summer for an  
interactive project.
but, as far as i know the maxMbrola object is only for Max 4.5, so i  
couln't use it in 4.6.
also i remember this object being rather buggy.
so i was simply using the MBROLA command line application (osx) and  
controlled it through the shell object from max.
this worked pretty well.
hth,
volker.
