It saddens me, since I swore to myself if SM still seemed crash-happy, then I'll have to quit SM at least until the next version that is crash-free (or atleast down to once a month). I do not want to risk a SM-VST ruining a set if I happen to be playing in front of people again, & in my eyes, if the editor is bad, what it produces is at risk.

So I was merging Exo's new cool changes to the MSE with my own ASM optimizations I made a month ago, & was testing them out using AJ's Cycle Tools, Doing some copy&pasting of the MSE, Tools, sub-modules, entire Code & ASM primitives, & copy/pasting text inside various code primitives to edit inside an external editor. All seemed well until I save my work, went to close SM, & got yet another SM crash report.

I've had crashes like this with large schematics as well, but I can attest that I never had a rendered VST crashing. And when I mix a song or album my DAW runs for hours without restart (or reloading the VSTs), so I think it's more a problem of the IDE itself. Maybe you can sleep a bit better know.

But of course you're right, even if the VSTs run stable this problem must be investigated.

Let me assure you SM VSTs cane be unstable especially in certain hosts Reaper is a known terror for SM and as it is my host of choice i could reel you off countless tail upon tail of compiled VST that works fine in every other host but kills Reaper after two minutes 😉

Problem is is that even though Malc has tried testing in Reaper he never finds the problems Its just one of those things i guess

I think the "crash on close" will live for a real long time. I've got it very often after editing my large AMK-Schematic, but there is no chance to make it reproducible.

Yeah the crash on close bug seems to have been around forever now.

Even if I had the feeling it's rarer than on 1.0.9, anyway it's still there, yes.
