Define Custom Bank Messages... crashes Logic Pro X 10.0.5

Hi all,


Having a devil of a time setting up patch names for my Proteus 2000 in Logic Pro X 10.0.5. The Proteus 2000 requires a custom bank message format to access all of its banks over MIDI, so in the MIDI Environment I select its multi-instrument and then Options -> Define Custom Bank Messages.... EVERY time I do this Logic crashes, the custom bank messages window never opens. (The same thing happens if I right-click the multi-instrument and select Define Custom Bank Messages... from the contextual menu.) (Partial crash log below.)


I have tried switching off my MIDI modules and disconnecting my MIDI interface, just to see if it's a hardware issue, but to no avail. I have got to this window before, in an earlier version of Logic Pro X, so I'm wondering if it's a bug with 10.0.5. Any more suggestions of things to try?


(I'm running a 2012 Mac Mini with Mac OS X 10.8.5, Logic Pro X 10.0.5, and a Cakewalk UM-2G MIDI interface.)

You are not the only one. I'm trying to Define Custom Bank Messages for my Yamaha Motif-Rack ES and am getting the same problem. To me this is a MAJOR bug!!! All of my tone modules are useless with this program at this point. grrr

Do I dare not buy anymore Apple backed DAW software?? They is an essential part of functionality for someone who uses external devices.

I am having this crash too in 10.0.6. I can open the "Define Custom Bank Messages" window with other multi-instruments (in the same song) but not with the newly added one. Grrr. Guess I have to save the external synth's master setup via sysex in the song until this is addressed. :-(


Edit: It seems the "Define Custom Bank Messages" window works with multi-instruments that were already in the song before I upgraded Logic. Trying to open that window with any newly added multi-instrument selected causes the crash. Writing to Apple feedback...

Anyone heard of a fix for this yet? I have LPX 10.0.6 and it crashes on me too when attempting to define custom bank messages...I added some Control messages and Program Change messages to my MIDI data and sort of forced patch changes on my external synth but it is irradict. Sometimes it works, but most of the time it is very flakey. I'm very disappointed in Apple over this product...particular this feature...lots of us have external gear that is totally useless to us now...extremely frustrating and annoying...Pro Tools is looking better and better every day.
