DIY Up-Down-Counter

I just had the idea to use an Up-Down-Counter in a patch. Unfortunately I didn't find one among the existing modules.
So I decided to design one myself. The result is a memory wasting bunch of gates.
Has anyone an idea how to construct an Up-Down-Counter in a less memory wasting way?

It seems to work best to use a sample&hold as an analog counter, when you need a binary output you could throw an AD converter in. Several examples could be laying hidden in the archives here, maybe have a look at the one by g2ian in this thread - although you'll probably want to modify it a bit.

Thank you very much!
Using the S&H-module as memory seems indeed to be more efficient than using flip-flops.

If a gateable up/down-counter is what you are looking for, this might just be the ticket:

I made this a while back for the "building block section".

Its about time we get a "functional" index on patches I guess, had totaly forgotten about this gateable one ...
