gate/switch confusion
i’m totally confused by the gate object right now. if i have a gate object with 4 outlets, but i send a number greater than 4 into the left inlet, i still get output out of gates 4th outlet. surely if a number greater than 4 is sent into gate it shouldn’t output anything. please help.
This is just how gate works:
"If it is greater than the number of existing outlets, messages are sent out the rightmost outlet."
I would recommend just creating an extra outlet, which you don’t have to hook up to anything.

good call. thanks for that.
another solution might be to clip the range of numbers going to the gate
