8.2 Crashes when Instrument Track is created

[getatnard03]

That’s what @getatnard03 already confirmed. Plugins are working fine for him. It’s only external Instruments that are failing this way. Maybe some oversight when implementing MIDI 2 in the configuration files for external hardware. Who knows…

Edit: btw - you speak of “dragging in”. That’s what I suggested and seemingly works. According to the OP it’s the specific way of creating a new track via dialog, then selecting external instruments from the dropdown menu that causes the crash.

Yes exactly. I’m not saying my midi instruments won’t work, I’m saying when I create them the same way I have created them since v3 it crashes.

I don’t think you understanding or reading what I’m writing. I disconnected and turned off all of my midi devices and it still crashes.

Oh I am understanding very clear - especially when you said this:

"But I press T to create a new instrument track and select any one of my 15 keyboards and samplers via midi interface".

Stands to logical reason that if you are attempting to add an external that uses a MIDI interface - MIDI SHOULD play a role here - but if you have turned everything OFF and disconnected them - and it still crashes - then this is something else.

Matter of fact - I may go as far as saying that I (or anyone else) should be able to reproduce this - as long as we do not use external instruments - as that scenario should be exactly the same as disconnecting them.

The very next sentence was:

“As soon as I select, the program crashes. Even if I disconnect the midi interface and all of my instruments it still crashes when I create a new track. I have been using studio one since v3. This is clearly a 8.2 issue.”

This is clearly a 8.2 issue.”

No one is saying it's not an issue. Yet.

But now that you have told us it crashes without any instrument being present at all - some of us should be able to reproduce this.

If we can - it's a issue. If we can't then that is possibly something on your end.

Which is why I said :

“That's why I was posting to see if anyone was having that same issue”

When I said clearly it’s a 8.2 issue, I said it in context with me removing all of the midi devices and it still crashing. Yes that could be an issue on my end that no one else has, which is why I posted.

"When creating a new external instrument track, if I select an external instrument in the Add Tracks window before clicking OK"

As a test - if you choose just one of the instruments (located under “Instruments —> External Instruments“) - removed it completely from Studio Pro, exit the program, start it back up and then re-add this specific instrument and THEN select this re-added instrument into a new track - does that work?

I’m not home but I will try it when I get home later.

Aaah, I think I get what you want to find out: If it breaks because the configs created with Studio OnePro <8.2 are somehow corrupted or are missing something that newly created configs include.

If I had a nickel for everytime this happened to me....

Dependant on the program version - I have seen in-place upgrades "appear" to bring over existing device configs just fine one time and then botch them the next.

I remember one specific upgrade back in the v5 cycle where I could not even get my S-Series MKII to allow any key to be recognized as soon as I tried to use it in the new upgrade. Had to dump the instrument completely - re-add it right back in - and then it worked fine.

If the OP can just pick one of his 15 - dump it and add it back - if that does work - we are getting somewhere.

So I deleted an instrument, restarted fender studio pro and added it back but it still crashed. I have a work around so it isn't deal breaking. I have a ticket submitted. I will follow up once I receive a response.

I uploaded my crash report into Claude. This is what it said

“This report points at a bug in Studio Pro 8.2 itself, not your Mios.


What it shows: The zip has three crash dumps, matching your three crashes tonight. All three crash in the same place, inside Studio Pro's own code on its main thread. Two are a null-pointer error (reading memory that doesn't exist) and one is a related memory error. The crashing code is called from Studio Pro's internal scripting engine, which is the part that runs interface windows like Add Track. That fits what you've seen.”
