Add the second instance of Wavestation with Sonar stopped. Does it still crash?
I always stop the transport before adding an instance of a synth. Best practice.
Update: Just tried it and Sonar doesn't crash here even while the transport is running. I did have to get reissue codes for everything though...that shows you how long it's been since I used these...they are great synths - Wavestation, M1, Legacy Cell, MonoPoly, MS-20, and Polysix...all load on this computer...which is my Studio B and not the one listed in my sig...
