Hi all,

I've been experiencing frequent crashes with Live 9.1.7 and Max4Live (6.1.9) and I think that Max's “Ctrl1LFO” device is the culprit. The crash will usually occur within about 20mins to an hour of working on a project containing multiple instances of this device. Live's cpu meter will shoot up to 2000+ %, audio will freeze and Live crashes.

I set up a test project consisting of 6 instances of Ctrl1LFO modulating a series of Max API dials (no plugins, no audio of any kind), and it crashed within 20 minutes.

Projects without this device are generally stable, but it's one of the most useful devices in the API and I tend use it in most of my work.

The issue seemed to occur after updating to Live 9 (or possibly after one of the updates to Live 9/Max 6). I don't recall it ever being an issue in Live 8.

Windows throws up this error message:

Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: Ableton Live 9 Standard.exe Application Version: 1.0.0.1 Application Timestamp: 54a19d7a Fault Module Name: MaxPlug.DLL Fault Module Version: 6.1.9.15810 Fault Module Timestamp: 5436d518 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 000427c0 OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3 Locale ID: 2057 Additional Information 1: b238 Additional Information 2: b238d08215055a04ba50de379fc00ac8 Additional Information 3: 4929 Additional Information 4: 4929fdb4dd3405245665c360a2c27223

My Specs:

Live 9.1.7 + M4L 32 bit Max 6.1.9 (standalone license) 32 bit

OS: Windows 7 64 bit Cpu: i7 920 Ram: 6gb

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any help/insight would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks.
