Seasons Greetings Folks:

I was having a ton of problems with Dp and mach 5...but found the crashes always were always happening in the same "step" of my usual process of making a song.From using Dp I'm really used to "clicking and holding" on a function box (i.e. the "no preset" menu in mach5) in order to open it.By doing this in Mach5,while in stand-alone or MAS (AU?) mode it causes Mach5 or Mach5/Dp to crash.

By simply quickly double-clicking in Mach5 boxes I've had no crashes all day today.(About 8 hours messing around..lots of large samples,screen savers coming on,sugared crazed ADD ridden room-mates pounding on v-drums while making changes...no crashes...touch wood..(Motu should package their gear and software in wood..just a thought)..

Has anyone had a similar problem or can anyone replicate this?This also seems to be the problem I'm having with my Arturia BRASS program as a plugin in Dp,though it doesn't happen in the stand-alone version..Maybe its sending too much data or something?

OS 10.5.6 all updates,2.53ghz macbook pro..

You might want to take a look at your mouse/trackball and the driver.

I am having a similar problem when I try to load a preset, especially once I start moving from folder to folder.
I use a Wacom tablet witch means that the pen is often pressed down when navigating through folders.
When I use the mousse with cliks and double clicks it it does not crash.

It must be a little bug specific to MachFive2 as I've never had that problem with other programs.

Thanks MIDI Life Crisis..I ran the system update..seems to work for me so far...Apple wireless mighty mouse btw..actually been stable.

The reason I mentioned the mouse driver is that I had a similar problem with Finale. If I quit with the mouse, Finale would crash. If I quit with the command-q keystroke, it would not. Tracked it down to USB Overdrive as I recall. I use Steermouse now (shareware) and it is a great driver. I use it with an MX Revolution.

Then again, that may not have been your problem. We'll never know (and probably never care ).
