I'm using a poly~object with 500 voices for granular synthesis inside a patch. The poly~ patch is really tiny, no big deal.

The patch works pretty cool. The issue comes when i need to load a second instance of the same patch as an abstraction. With 1000 voices (2 instances) Max crashes as i turn the DSP on. 1000 seems to be the key number, because i tried 5 abstractions with 200 voices each and 4 work fine, when i add the 5th everything goes to hell.

I was trying to parse the error report using the information from this topic:

https://cycling74.com/forums/using-a-mac-crash-report-to-debug-a-patch/

I discovered this is the chunk with error type and the crashed thread:

Crashed Thread: 0 CrBrowserMain Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

Thread 0 Crashed:: CrBrowserMain Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

0 com.cycling74.chromium     0x00eadd57 0xd69000 + 1330519

I don't know the meaning of that chunk..maybe an issue with RAM or something?? (one patch drains 4% or 5% of CPU as peak)

BTW, i'm using Max 7 (32 bits) with a Macbook Pro Mid 2012 (8GB RAM) running 10.10.3

I have a new install of Max 7, I have pasted a patch from the net I also created a simple patch a sine and an audio out to test. Whenever I switch the audio on Max crashes with this error.
