</blockquote><div><br></div><div>After much more extensive testing and now figuring out how to access plugins etc I've found two big issues in "Track Properties" related to plugins.... and midi inputs dying transiently, perhaps after creating and destroying lots of plugins during evaluation (could be a plugin memory corruption issue independent of qtractor?)</div>

Qtractor needs to be restarted and they come right back....</div>
