Pro Control and PT10, send causes crash
 

Fix found!
Cannot flip faders to sends. Doing so causes instant evaporation.

Problem is caused by send path names with more than 8 characters

WORKAROUND: before using flip command, edit IO path names so that any path used by a send contains 8 or fewer characters total. Pay attention to sub-paths when things like ".stereo" and ".C" are automatically appended during IO setup. All characters count. (Pro Control "scribble strip" displays are 8 characters long. The bug is related to that I think.)

For a send path name that will never display on Pro Control, such as hidden tracks, send path name length does not matter for those tracks.

that would be a total show stopper for me as i am permanently in flip mode when dial mixing with my cedar dns one

Avid?

Re: Pro Control and PT10, send causes crash
 

The faders work fine for plugins but not aux sends. Can't use them for verb sends, which is a bit of an issue for mixing. I have the faders working DNS all the time during editing. Indispensable!

That is less of a disaster but will put me off running 10 (along with the automation woes).
But at least if I go to 10 I would get my ProControl jog wheel scrub back which is broken on 9.03. Weary sigh....

For workaround see original post.

Thank you Postman!!!
This works!!!

funny after the 32bit vs. 64bit discussion...

... ProControl users have to stay with 3bit send names.;)

if that's all, I'm fine with it...

Great job finding a workaround - Sweet!

Re: Pro Control and PT10, crash bug fix!
 

Wow, thanks for posting Richard! I've been sitting on my PT10 install waiting for some free time, but I think I'm gonna hold off. I wonder if this bug is on a C24 also? It would require me to rename every send/bus in every template I use, not to mention all the current mixes in progress - hours and hours of work!

Yes, truly a nightmare to rename everything.

C'mon Avid. Let's at least get a final fix for this simple yet critical problem for us PT10 / Pro Control users.
