[PD] Active/deactive gemheads

[Donal Carey]

Hi Derek

Cheers for getting back to me with the info, however I'm still having a bit 
of a problem with it. Basically what the patch is doing is analysing a piece 
of music using the [bonk~] and [timer] objects. There are then three 
[gemhead] objects which are activated automatically based on how fast the 
beats are occuring (i.e. < 100, < 200, < 300). When one particular [gemhead] 
is activated it needs to deactivate which ever of the other two is active, 
automatically. The switch object you've suggested doesnt seem to be able to 
do this. I've attached the patch here so you can see what I'm on about.

Thanks for the help
Donal
