Yeah, I'm embarrassed. I was all excited and even posted the link at a couple of other sites and it's just a nuisance.

So far it's playing nicely with the other kids in the sandbox VE Pro 5 (OS 10.8.5 on an early 2009 MacPro). I have two instruments sending to two instances of it.
It sounds really good with what I'm using. NICE INTERFACE.

I'm getting the sense that this may be geared better to Mac systems from the problems reported.

NI offer no support for free plugins

Don't read everything they put out there as gospel. I had an issue installing last years Xmas gift and I put in a ticket. I got a response the next day, someone ready to sort me out. I've also seen them state you can't sell Kore Soundpacks, but I requested the serial number deletions and apprised them of the sale, and they did it.

Also I believe they want feedback on this due to technical issues they are talking about at their forum.

My money is on shared resources problem, prime suspect being the meter animations since they are activated when the audio comes in and that is exactly when the crashes occur.

(In fact you can see that at the very end of the animation id posted. The first instances meter lights up and freezes, but the second instances meter does nothing, (most likely because it cannot access the image), and then the whole thing goes down.)

This makes the most sense of anything I've read in this thread. To me if it's a driver issue then it would effect a single instance which works just fine here. I think ENV1 has nailed it with the meter animations.

And i have pretty much confirmed it in the meantime.

Try this:

- Open 2 instances but do not send any audio to them yet

- Set the In and Out sliders of the second instance to 0, (hard left), so there cant be any meter animation

Now send audio to both of them simultaneously. (The second one will obviously be silent.) There should be no crash. Now drag one of the sliders of the second instance to the right so the animation becomes visible. Send audio. The host should go down almost immediately.

(Second instance = the one you loaded last.)

So the meters do in deed seem to be part of the problem. Still there has to be another problem in addition to that since the meter issue does not explain the other issue where closing and reloading the DLL would lead to a crash since the UI doesnt even need to be opened for that to happen nor does it require the presence of a second instance.

I hate to be captain obvious, but this IS reported, correct? (I wouldn't be able to explain it that well w/o copy/pasting what you just said

)

I cannot replicate that crash, there is no problem here.

What are your system specs ?

Heres another animation.

As you can see, no problem with 2 instances as long as the second isnt showing the meter animation.

Soon as i drag the sliders and the second instances animation would be visible, one note and the host goes down.

Probably very different than yours. It does seem like a GUI response problem, though. My least stable things do GUI moves the system doesn't love...

Same here on my 2014 6 core Mac Pro, LogiX and 10.10. Sounds bloody marvellous too!
