These often crash Max for me. I thought it might be because I need to turn off DSP before changing files in a buffer~, and that has helped, but even while doing that, I still have Max crash while using these objects. Why might this be and what can I do to prevent this?

much thanks.

eric, since you’re here… i really like your pot pourri
i tried bashfest~ and i noticed that if you start the dsp without having
given a buffer to bashfest~, it crashes max…

-start max
-create a new patcher
-create [el.bashfest~]
-start audio

result :

That’s a good bug report. The bashfest~ in the next LyonPotpourri release will not instantiate unless you specify a buffer, which of course prevents the bug you mentioned. I’ll be taking a closer look at what happens when buffers are switched or invalid in several of my externals. Since I rarely change buffers after instantiation, I rarely encounter this kind of bug unless someone else reports it.
