In some of the shows my performance consists of very diversified pieces for which I use different software: ecasound, pd (different patches), terminatorX, freqtweak. Not all of them together, though.
I basically have a jack server running and everything plugs and unplugs from Jack (I run tX with jacklaunch but apparently a new version is jackified?). The whole thing is orchestrated by RTmix. Some things load faster, others slower so sometimes there is a little gap between pieces but usually it isn't a problem. Sometimes I mange to overlap 2 things. Sometimes I use up to 3 guitars (no, not at the same time) so the loading time of patches is roughly equivalent to the time of changing the instrument.
I call the apps with all necessary command line switches so I don't have to tweak anything once the app is open.
