There may be something in the P3 code that needs to be fixed.
I have one other user who experienced crashes on P3 when he synced it to
Logic using a specific MIDI interface.
The problem didn't occur on exactly the same system with a different MIDI
interface.
It could be there is a tiny window in the MIDI clock handling where the
wrong byte arriving at exactly the wrong time causes a crash.
Unfortunately it's very hard to find that kind of problem without being able
to re-create it.
Do you get a consistent crash when you start Live running ?
If so, I'd really like to get hold of a time-stamped capture of the MIDI
data that is sent.
