Deleting multiple instances of multichannel instrument presets causes crash in 2018.1

[noiseboyuk]

Just checking if this is universal, I've confirmed this behaviour on both Win 10 and OSX High Sierra here on 2018.1 using Kontakt 5, Omnisphere and Superior Drummer 3 (the only 3 I tried), so looks to me like it's neither plugin nor OS dependent.

1. Create a multichannel instrument preset (with at least one aux attached whose input is set to the Instrument)

2. Insert 2 or more of the same preset into a project (blank works the same).

3. Delete them both = crash.

It's also possible to crash PT when deleting individual instances of the multichannel track preset. I tested 10 instances - the 6th, 9th, and 10th all deleted ok, but the 1st, 4th and 5th caused crashes. I sorta ran out of patience at that point to prove a rule...

I once got the following error on PT relaunching, which maybe provides a clue - Assertion in "E:\ Code\ 222370\ ProTools\ NewFileLibs\ Sys\ Win32\ Sys_FileLocWin32.cpp", line 548.

No i cannot repoduce it... Deleting Aux with Plugin Inputs (Structure in my case) works fine...but Kontakt 5 behaves strange. If i change the Output Config (adding more Stereo Outputs) does not change the imput possibilities of the Aux Track...
So i cannot use Kontakt 5 in multichannel mode at all...

hi, do you have a network connection present and running ??? try pulling ethernet cable or turning off Wi-Fi ..

also: in #2 above you say Project .. do you meaan Session or are you trying to do this in a Project ??

just trying to refine your Steps to reproduce for others ..

cheers john

Sorry, my bad - yes I do mean session (local). Will try the network thing tomorrow.

No changes here when the network is unplugged, still causes a crash.
