If that IS the case I cannot update to Lexington. It does strike me as system specific.
 
 

I was unable to reproduce this problem using Arturia's Wurlizter V.
First recorded the Synth on its own, then set a loop and turned on Comping mode, loop around three times, stopped recording without a crash.

Yeah I saw your post. Thanks for checking it out, Wookster.

Blapples deep in a project... for another. My mind is in the tune at the moment.
 
Despite my incessant navel gazing around here I am a bit of an artsy frucker and the update process would crush the flow.
 
Once it's written and fired off for approval I'll be updating before tracking the finals.

Hi Beepster,
I did get a chance to take Lexington out for a few runs. 
At first glance, it was indeed snappier then Kingston (whoo hoo) and played nicely.
I haven't had any problems with midi, aux tracks, take lanes or the likes.
 
That's NOT to say I didn't have any crashes...
Had two -the second one was on purpose to see if I could repeat the first one.
It appears that one of my plugins (eventide ultrachannel) doesn't like it anymore if I change the track it's on from stereo to mono.  When I mix, I typically change the Master bus from stereo to mono and pan to the left.  This continues to work fine in Lexington.  Sometimes though I want to check a track out for phase or whatever.  Tried this out with the ultrachannel on it and it immediately crashed SP.  Didn't do that in Kingston. 
 
Didn't file report yet cause during the holiday, I would probe the forum to see if anyone else was having issues.
This post let me know some have (most haven't).  I'll submit it and see if they've got a fix for it.

Thanks, Arlen. I don't have that plug... and actually pretty much stick to the included plugin suite aside from a few specific goodies I've gathered along the way (mostly Cake stuff as well but some seemingly Sonar friendly third party gack).
 
I think I have ONE more little part to write for my current session then a quick mix before I fire it off for approval. Then I'm gonna jump in balls first on Lexington and use Windows restore as my failsafe before doing my final tracks (and all the other wackiness I may do on top of that).
 
It would be a hardcore session so will likely expose any definciencies. I think I'll probably give the Aux track stuff a rudimentary workout too since that seems to be working well for others and would certainly benefit my weird arse workflow.
 
Cheers.
 
PS: You should post a thread about the Eventide thing. I'm not sure but I think Stratman might use that one and I'm sure others do as well so you'd be providing a service by posting the issue. Sadly I cannot test that one for ya.
 
Good luck.

Eventide rarely announces updates to their products. I just checked and there was an update last Oct. I just tested UltraChannel v2.0.23 and the Oct 2015 update 2.0.29, by adding the plug-in to the master bus, toggling the track interleave while the transport was running. Lexington did not crash on me.

Thanks Steve for checking that for me. I'll have to go get the update and check it out.  Did you check it on a track?

It did not crash on tracks or buses.

Good to know. I'll update that plug and see what we got.
Thanks again.
