So just an FYI for loading different set of sound setup you can assign midi controller like a button for each button to load different project, I think you can do what you were wanting to do, it will simulate like a scene so each midi controller button can be assigned to different AUM project.

FYI you can now finally do real side chaining with AUM. A bunch of developers made plugins already to take advantage of the multichannel ability. 4pockets made one called sidechain and it is as easy as possible to create sidechain effects. You could make a very cool how to because it can get a bit complicated until you understand how it works. YOU will have so much fun with it. It's so powerful now. I didn't realize how important sidechaining is plus the ability to output to multiple channels. Get the plugin called Digikeys by 4pockets if you really want a crazy good app for AUM. I will watch for your video on multichannel using AUM because you are good at explaining stuff and I will get ideas from you for sure.. Have fun.

I found this app for my iPad - I got the Korg nanoKontrol Studio and nanoKey Studio and of course had to get ths app along with some of the software that Korg provides - Gadget 2. I was not invested heavily in a previous studio setup. So learning along the way and this helps a lot since you are at a level far above me in this area. Great video - thanks

Thanks Bro for sharing, really great review. I‘ve been using this a while but one problem I‘ve been facing is the DSP sometimes goes up to over 100% when playing and that cracks up the sound, I believe it‘s some kind of latency or memory issue but I actually clear all IOS Apps from memory before running this. Using the IPad Pro, 12,9“ 128GB, 4GB RAM which supposed to be okay I guess:-) I must admit that I load all the GM Apps (because I love those;-) ) and Ravenscroft into AUM which probably might be the cause of the issue.. How do you manage to get your DSP value constantly below 15%. which kinda IPad are you using, because you also have quiet a lot opened. Thanks and be blessed 🙏🏾
