Updates:
Chose a project with loads of soft synths & Fx plugins
Inserted TTS-1, crashed as expected. No surprise there
Re-opened the project, removed all T-Racks plugs, insert TTS-1, crash
Re-opened the project, froze all synths, bypassed all Fx, loads TTS - it works!!
Unfroze all synths, re-enable all Fx & it still works
All the above "inserts" refer to inserting the synth itself, not the template
