I updated the Ample Metal Ray, and it managed to crash both Cakewalk and Studio One 5.

Reproducible with v3.5.0, VST2 & 3. The issue seems to occur while re-opening the Ample plugin GUI, after closing it while the riffer was playing.

OK, so I tried it with my last resort test DAW, Reaper. Crashed that too, which is quite an achievement!

Here is some data provided by AppCrashView for one of the Cakewalk crashes:

Uninstalled v3.5, and fell back to v3.3. That seems to have resolved the crashes.

Let me know if I'm not the only one seeing this please!
