Dim Pro 1.5 X64 Users Please Read (Cakewalk Too...)

Hello!
 
I started this thread HERE about Dim Pro 1.5 crashing with certain patches.
 
I wanted to start a new thread to bring this to the forefront.
Thanks to Dorset Magic who posted this pic:
 

 
This seems to be the problem for me. Anyone care to see if they can duplicate the problem? Just follow below. 

I'm running Sonar 8.5.3 in Win7 both 64 bit.

I start a new project and load Dim Pro 1.5. I make sure it's version 1.5 by clicking on the Dimension Pro logo in the plug-in. I do this because I have both 1.2 and 1.5 versions in my plug in folder.

Goto the 08-Guitars folder and load "Almost There".

Check to see what your settings are compared to the pic above. Mine has Both Random Unipolar 1 and 2 set to 40. If I play some notes, it works for a moment and then I hear a stuck midi note and then Sonar crashes and then my computer crashes.

Once I reboot and try it again, but BEFORE I play a note I double click on both Random Unipolar 1 and 2 "40" to change it to "0". Then I play again. It WORKS!!!

Anyone care to confirm this?

Thanks, and special thanks to Dorset Magic for discovering this. I'm sure if we can nail it down, Cakewalk can fix it quickly.
 
P.S. It's ironic that the patch that crashes Dim Pro 1.5 64-bit for me is called "Almost There"

 

Confirmed. Dim Pro v1.5 x64 VSTi crashes SONAR 8.5.3 after playing a few notes with the "Almost Together" guitar patch. And changing both Random Unipolar depth values from 40 to 0 seems to eliminate the problem.

Have you called this in or submitted a bug report?

Darn it its confirmed. Crash city.

Edit to add;

This is the first time Dim pro has crashed for me.  This is the 1.5 release and 64 bits.

Can anyone get it to crash in a different host using the recipe?  That would help to determine where the problem may be.

Wow! Thanks!  Now, how do I save the preset, so that I don't have to do this every time I use that patch?  I don't know where the presets live, thanks.

Yep I tried "Almost There" and it crashed, but setting the Random Unipolar thing to 0 fixed it. Unfortunately this same problem also happens with certain RX2 loops, and in that case there is no Random Unipolar setting activated. I hope we can find some sort of workaround if Cakewalk is unwilling to fix it!

POSSIBLE SOLUTION!!! It seems to crash ONLY if Sonar is set to a different tempo than the original RX2 file. If I change Sonar's tempo to match the loop, it doesn't crash. I'll keep testing it to confirm, but so far that seems to be the case.
