Any way I can prevent objects being caught with autopattr apart from laboriously connecting them all to the 'exclude' outlet?

They're live.numbox that I need to store in the device but not the presets.

You can just give every object a scripting name to make them available to autopattr (plus pattrstorage and preset) without using any patch cords.

Any objects without a scripting name aren't included.

Can I make an object 'store' in Ableton without a scripting name? Sorry New to all this!

Sure, but then you have to use the write commands with preset or pattr, everything they're then connected to will be stored in their current state, try using the pattr objects because you can interpolate between different presets. eg. mix between preset 1 and 5 instead of only going from 1 to 2.
