Track: Toggle record arm for track - Like Guitar Multi Effects

[janama]

Hi,

Trying to think of the best way to use my midi controller as a guitar multi effects pedal for more than 2 sounds (tracks) which i can do with a custom action like:

"Track: Toggle record arm for track 1"
"Track: Toggle record arm for track 2"
(have only 1 track armed to begin with and toggle my clean and crunch guitar fx sounds)

But how i can do this with multiple tracks. Say 5 tracks setup to the same guitar input and configured with 5 different effects instead of just 2 like above?

Or advice on a better way to do this? I usually get pretty smashed turn on Daw and jam with friends and don't like having to look at screen much. Having 2 sounds setup works well with my midi controller toggling as above but would like to expand to more sounds if possible.

Thanks for looking

use
Script: EXT - Cycle Forward Arm state thru selected tracks
Script: EXT - Cycle Backward Arm state thru selected tracks

Basically you need to create a session like this
and use Cycle Forward Arm state thru selected tracks to change the sound for each part.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
song 1 structure: [intro] [verse] [chorus] [verse] [chorus] [ending]

Track 1 (intro Guitar FX)
Track 2 (verse FX)
Track 3 (chorus FX)
Track 4 (same FX as Track 2)
Track 5 (same FX as Track 3)
Track 6 (ending FX)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
song 2 structure : [improvise] [main theme] [improvise] [theme] [ending]

Track 7 (improvise FX)
Track 8 (main theme FX)
Track 9 (same FX as Track 7)
Track 10(same FX as Track 8)
Track 11(ending FX)

My hat off to you my friend, your examples led me to:

Command = "I_RECARM"
reaper.SetMediaTrackInfo_Value(reaper.GetTrack( 0, 51-1 ), Command, 1 ) --ON
reaper.SetMediaTrackInfo_Value(reaper.GetTrack( 0, 52-1 ), Command, 0 )
reaper.SetMediaTrackInfo_Value(reaper.GetTrack( 0, 53-1 ), Command, 0 )
reaper.SetMediaTrackInfo_Value(reaper.GetTrack( 0, 54-1 ), Command, 0 )
reaper.SetMediaTrackInfo_Value(reaper.GetTrack( 0, 55-1 ), Command, 0 )
reaper.SetMediaTrackInfo_Value(reaper.GetTrack( 0, 56-1 ), Command, 0 )
reaper.UpdateArrange()
--(my guitar effects are on tracks 51-56)

I can assign a version of this to 6 midi buttons & instant pedal board !!!

Thanks Outboarder!
And thanks Reaper!!
