Switching "settings" in AUM
I'm using AUM like a pedalboard for my electric instrument. I have a saved session with an FX channel with a string of effects plugins - tremolo, distortion, chorus, delay etc. The way I have this stored all of the effects are "off" but each is loaded with my preferred preset values. When performing a set I have to remember to turn on and off the various plugins appropriate to each piece in my repertoire, and am prone to screwing that up, forgetting to turn on an effect or forgetting to turn off others.
Is there a way in AUM (short of saving each different configuration with various effects enabled as separate session files) to save and recall the various signal chains for each number? Perhaps if there isn't a way to do this natively within AUM there is some trick (or maybe a plugin or something) that might make it possible to manage this.
Thanks!

One way of doing this is to route the AUM keyboard to AUM MIDI controller. Then you can map AUM keyboard notes to bypass or activate your plugins. For example if you have 4 effects in your chain, you can map the AUM keyboard note C2 to disable (bypass) and enable what you like, map D2 to another setting, etc. Ideally you’d do this with a midi pedal routed to AUM’s midi controller and map the pedal switches to enable/disable plugins you like.
Another option is Surface Builder. You could create a window with buttons labeled with the names of the songs, each configured with the midi commands needed to enable and disable the FX.
Depending on how many different configurations you are using, you could probably just duplicate your channel for each config, and setup the active FX appropriately for each. Maybe name each channel to help you ID it quickly, and then just use mute on the ones you aren’t using.
No midi, just do it manually.
@reezygle @wim - Duh! Hadn’t thought of mapping MIDI commands to the various configurations! Thanks!
@wim - embarrassing as I already have Surface Builder. Good suggestion.
@CracklePot - definitely an option at the moment as my repertoire is still pretty thin, but would be increasingly unwieldy as time goes on.
"Bulk Send" is probably the action you want on those buttons. That way you can send as many midi commands as you need from a single button.
Note: I don't think the following hack will be helpful to the OP. (I’m sorry.)

Minimal ‘FX preset loading’ hack/trick for a short set list of a few songs, using only AUM:
-For example, if you want to play 3 songs, make 3 presets for all FX apps you use.
-Use AUM's MIDI Control feature to give all the FX apps you use a feature to load a preset with a MIDI note.

Flow of the above GIF file:
(Start)
[You want to play/perform 3 songs.]
⬇️
On AUM's built-in virtual MIDI keyboard, 'C-1 (0)' is tapped once. As a result, aforementioned “a FX app preset for the first song” is loaded to Wider app and Rack Reverb app respectively(?).
⬇️
[The first song is played. Then the performance ends.]
⬇️
'C#-1 (1)' on AUM's virtual MIDI keyboard is tapped once. As a result, aforementioned “a FX app preset for the second song” is loaded to Wider and Rack Reverb respectively.
⬇️
[The second song is played. Then the performance ends.]
⬇️
'D-1 (2)' on AUM's virtual MIDI keyboard is tapped once. As a result, aforementioned “a FX app preset for the third song” is loaded to Wider and Rack Reverb respectively.
⬇️
[The third song is played. Then the performance ends.]
(End)

Note:
-If you want to turn off (= bypass) a FX app by this hack, you have to use a bypass feature of the FX app itself, to make a preset. (I’m not referring to using an orange power icon of AUv3-app’s window loaded on AUM.)
-If the FX app does not have a bypass feature, a workaround is required. (i.e., Prepare the FX app’s preset with Dry/Wet parameter controller set to 100/0.)
-In other words, this hack does not allow you to turn off FX apps with a flick to the left on AUM screen. You must keep the FX apps ‘active’ (= a state not bypassed by AUM’s feature).

By the way, it is possible to load an AUM session file by tapping on AUM’s built-in virtual MIDI keyboard. (That said, I understand that the OP does not wish to load a session file for each song/performance.)
