[PD] Use of toggle?

[Jared]

I'm using PD to do sound filtering and analysis would like to have the 
live audio passed along only at certain points. That is, the output from 
adc~ will sometimes continue on to other patches and sometimes I want it 
to stop. I was hoping to use toggle, but misunderstood how it works as 
it seems to become toggled for *any* input, not just bangs. I was hoping 
it would stay untoggled, and not allow the input to be sent through the 
output.

What I would like is to be able to have a toggle (or other patch) that, 
when on, allows the input stream to continue through and, when off, does 
not pass anything through its output.

I feel like this should be a simple task, but I've been struggling and 
I'm still not sure how to do it.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!
