I have a stream of midi notes that are going into a 'makenote'.

I would like to set up a switch so that only ever fifth note will pass through the 'makenote'. It looks like I can do that with a 'switch', but I want to be able to vary the number of notes that it has to wait for before it passes the pitch. So, ideally, I'd like a slider that would go between allowing every note through the 'makenote' all the way up to only allowing every fifth note through. I see that with 'switch' you have to hard code in the number of ports on the switch, so I'm wondering if there is a better way to achieve what I'm trying to do?

Thank you so much. That works, and I'm going to have to spend a few minutes looking at this to understand how it works! One question. I see this one will -for example-if the slider is set to three, then I have to bang it three times and then the third one comes out....Is it possible to reverse the behavior so that it will output the first time you bang it but then do the suppression? In other words, set to three the output would go 1 0 0 instead of 0 0 1...
