Couple of PENTAGON presets crashing my ASIO driver and ruining my speakers

I run Pentagon inside Sonar X1 Producer.
 
I'll give just 4 Examples:
 
Bank B, 008: "Aftertouch Lead";
Bank F, 042: " e - bass (at) ";
Bank F, 059: "mega slap bass (at);
Bank F, 063: "synth slap bass"
 
When I load any of these presets, the following happens:
- just huge pops an clicks, no other sound;
- faders in the ASIO mixer display overload.
 
When I move back to other presets (that work all right), more stuttering pops and crackles occur and it doesn't stop until I press the "Reset MIDI and Audio".
 
The said presets always cause this to happen. 
 
Anyone encountered this? What could be the cause?
 

Check if it happens with those presets that I mentioned. I'm curious if it's a software problem or a preset problem (although I can't imagine how that could be).

The resulting volume for the patch is overloading your sig path.  Try turning the volume WAY down before using them, then gradually.  You may also want to consider using a bus with a limiter on it when testing new patches?
 
Try putting Boost11 on the audio output of Pentagon with the boost set to 0 and the output set to -.3 or something like that.

gcolbert,

you were right.

But: no matter how much I turned down the volume, it didn't stop crashing until I put in the Boost 11. And then the reduction meter showed me -120 dB !!! And the waveform IN - it was no wave form at all, it was all just 2 full stripes (left and right).

Pentagon is a crap. And they keep selling it... Thumbs down!

can you please post the mail the Support sent you with regards to the preset "Nothing"?
