I had a lot of trouble with this problem, but I found a way around it.
When V-Vocal crashes, it is when a plug-in with high latency is inserted.
Try enabling the Bypass All FX button and then creating a V-Vocal clip.

That might do the trick. The thing with cronus.dll (https://www.cakewalk.com/Support/Knowledge-Base/20091009/Cronus-dll-Run-Time-Error-on-Playback-or-Faulting-Module) could also fix for you.
What worked for me is to open a different project, do a v-vocal on a track there. Close the project and open the project where v-vocal caused a crash. And shazam, no more crashes. Why? Don't know but if it helps...

Tried the draw tool wich does the trick. Thanks. Just had to figure out that the period of the sinus, saw etc equals your snapsettings. 

Got exact the same problem except after my M-audio stops working I get zero midi signals coming in even when I shut down cakewalk. Read some useful and plausible causes and solutions here so I'll be checking em tomorrow.

@Alastair Cardwell - a couple of questions:

1. Is your MIDI mode set to UWP or MME  (I've found MME to be far more reliable with some devices, especially older ones) ?

2. Have you tried disabling "Zero Controllers When Play Stops" ?  Maybe Cakewalk is flooding your control surface on startup with reset messages, causing it to hang up.

Does 2 also effect an M-audio Oxygen 49 ? This seems  to me the most plausible answer. The keyboard works at first and after playing some parts or replaying recorded parts I get zero input. Disconnecting and restarting cakewalk usually does the trick.

Is it me or has the control sensitivity of the mouse changed since the last update? Navigating and adjusting notes or clips has become a drag.

I tried all of the above but alas.

I eventually upgraded my systeem because cakewalk kept crashing. Got an i7 8GB RAM and SSD drive, it's an old i7 but faster than my old configuration. I also bought a focusrite 2i2 3rd gen so I can be sure the problem isn't firewire related.

I haven't had the problem with the z3ta but now my VIP player is acting up. If I freeze the VIP and unfreeze it, often the synths in the banks of the VIP won't produce any sound anymore. The midi still gets through but no sound. If I unload a synth from a bank and then reload it, it works again. 

This is the case for cakewalk and sonar producer X1.  

So I'm pretty certain it's me *****ing something up but I can't seem to find what I'm doing wrong.

My cakewalk VST scan stops and says :

z3ta+ is risky do you want to enable this synth?

Does your scan say that?

Nope.

I was testing some sounds of z3ta+ in cakewalk and noticed that some presets wouldn't play. After a while all of the sudden it seemed as if the entire audio engine stopped. Nothing played anymore. Other projects I've been working on wouldn't play either.All I heard was an occasional click. When I tested the sound in the windows settings , it worked fine. 

After some reboots of my pc and mixer (Mackie firewire 1620) and switching between WDM and ASIO and cakewalk and producer X1 everything worked again. Why, don't know.

I have some problems with the firewire interface which doesn't work well with windows 10 I think. If I try changing the buffer size in the ASIO panel it's the blue screen of death with mostly an IRQ error.

Has anyone found a way to solve this or am I better off buying a recent soundcard (my eye is on the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 3rd Gen. 

Or is this a software problem? My computer is rather old, still dual core with 4GB Ram but after replacing the old HDD with a SSD it still works like a charm. I held on to my old pc because of the firewire port it has and newer models lack.

OK, strange. I'll doublecheck my folders then.

I still have Sonar X1 but I'm slowly switching to the new cakewalk. However, there are some effects that I miss in cakewalk that were in sonar X1. Is there any way to import them in cakewalk? I have both versions installed on the same computer.
