Will X2a fix the crashes while browsing DimPro patches?

Just wondering since I've been a little too busy to scour the forums lately whether the Bakers have mentioned this. The blog post doesn't say much. If you aren't familiar with the issue essentially when browsing through DimPro patches after going through about a dozen sounds or so some users are experiencing crashes (including me). In my case it manifests itself by the sound cutting out then very loud digital crackling and eventually a crash that requires a restart of Sonar. I've seen a couple people mention this sometimes happened in X1 as well. My main concern is my speakers (or if I'm wearing headphones my ears). This has been the only major problem I've had so far with X2. I should mention I still have not installed the QuickFix but I don't think that has fixed it for others and with X2a right around the corner I figure I can wait.

Just to be thorough here are my specs in case anyone has found a way to fix this on their own:

X2 Producer 64bit (upgraded from the X1 Production Suite)
MOBO: ASUS P8Z68 Pro Gen3
CPU: i7 2600k
RAM: 16GB DDR3 (Corsair Vengeance)
Program drive: 500GB Caviar Black 7200RPM 6.0
Data/Samples drive: 1TB  Caviar Black 7200RPM 6.0
PSU: 700W Coolermaster CPU
Interface 1: Focusrite Scarlett 18i6 (this is the one I use mostly)
Interface 2: Layla Echo 3G (installed but not being used)
Keyboard Controller: M-Audio Oxygen 25
Pad Controller: Korg padKontrol
OS: Win 7 Pro 64bit

Hope everyone up here has been well. I've mostly been dorking around in the coffee house while waiting to set up my DAW but now I'm ready to get back to work. Cheers.

Yeah, I was thinking I might play around with it later so 'll give it a shot. Guess if it's doing it in standalone as well the patch probably won't help. That's pretty annoying as a new user because I still haven't figured out what's what yet so there's gonna be LOTS of patch browsing. What a drag. 

Good idea, scook.

Also I decided to go solution hunting on the intertubes and found this post over on KVR...


Dimension Pro to 1.5 was crashing Sonar X1 all the time, depending on the synth preset used. For me it was the first guitar preset.

Dorset Magic from the Cakewalk forums found a fix which worked for me:

If you set the MIDI Matrix Random Unipolar parameter of the synth preset to 0 it won't crash anymore.

From this thread... http://www.kvraudio.com/f...hp?t=350725&page=2

I have no idea what that means but I'll have to check it out. Anyone else try this?

And actually I'm not sure the limiter thing will work because of the crash. Also in standalone is there a way to add a limiter? I know DP has a lot of fancy doodads so maybe there's a limiter in there. Hope you've been well. Cheers.

Not to add fuel to the fire, but some of the patches that crash my desktop on a regular basis run fine on my laptop....just what we need right...more confusion!

It might be related to crashes when browsing audio in the browser. I reported that a long while ago so I'm hoping X2a fixes that which may well fix your problem.

Fingers crossed and waiting. Hope it's today so I get at least a few hours use before the end of the world.
