Sorry Kevin, they are separate issues
I just made another user kit using different samples and it crashed twice, once when saving a panning automation, and once just when it was playing, no saving involved
The other problem is that in two projects in ABleton with Spark and Laboratory, only the Laboratory keyboard automatically syncs with the software...I have to open the spark plug then press the connect button for it to connect
this is the last user kit Ive been working on (I doubt youll replicate it as its random)
