Default Switch input FX presets (*.rpl) from a controller

I sort of know how to do it with track FX plugins, but how do I go about it when I want to switch presets of an FX in the input FX chain of a track?
Precisely, I have two JS plugins on the input chain of all those tracks which are set up for MPE MIDI input. I'd like to be able to switch between presets (Reaper's own preset system, not fxp) on the second JSFX in the input chain.

Preferably I'd want to use OSC, because that way I could get to read the name of the current preset on my controller's screen.

Any hint?

Supposedly the easiest way is using SWS LiveConfigs. But of course there should be direct ways to do this by ReaScripts.

Thanks, Michael.
From the looks of it LiveConfigs seems to be overkill for what I want to do and not at all catered to the way I go about making music. Each time I create a new track I'd need to make a new definition in LiveConfigs dialog, it seems.

After a short test I don't think it works with plugins on the input FX chain. At least those FX don't come up in LiveConfigs list in the "FX presets" column after I defined a track. I only see plugins which are in the inline FX chain.



Is there really no access to the preset list of plugins on an input chain, similar to the acces we have with FX on the ordinary track chain? Input FX parameters even don't seem to be compatible with the track parameter UI, which would already help a lot .

I suppose you are right.

There's this section in the OSC config:
Code:
FX_PRESET s/fx/preset s/fx/@/preset s/track/@/fx/@/preset
FX_PREV_PRESET t/fx/preset- t/fx/@/preset- t/track/@/fx/@/preset-
FX_NEXT_PRESET t/fx/preset+ t/fx/@/preset+ t/track/@/fx/@/preset+
Haven't tried this yet so I don't know how it behaves.

Those are only acessing the ordinary track FX too, as far as I know. At least the other FX_*** stuff from Default.ReaperOSC which I use is.

For all I know, that is. Which is not plenty, maybe there's a trick or some undocumented magic to get to the input FX?
