Your .pdrc will tell you which libraries your Pd is loading.

I have used a [gate] from IEMLIB with two inlets and one outlet, that
works for anything like [spigot] does for floats, ie 1/0 at the right
inlet enables/disables message passthrough from the left inlet to the
outlet.

I don't know how the multiple outlet [gate] works.  I use [demux] from
Gridflow to route an input to one of a number of outlets.

I don't have [switch] either.

Pd has a built-in [switch~] which enables/disables DSP for that patch
and can change DSP block size and overlap.

There exists at least two incompatible [gate] objects in the Pd
universe.
