Reaper Crashes with Kontakt from Native Instruments

[reaper@exellex.com]

I am running the latest Reaper on the latest Ventura OS on a new Mac Studio. I have 6 instrument tracks each with Kontakt 7 with single instrument. All works OK but Reaper crashes after some variable time (few hours to a couple of days). I leave Reaper running all the time (that's my workflow). Each of the Kontakt instruments are not crashing because I can click on the FX button and change the instrument etc. However, if I click on any other Reaper area, I get the dreaded color wheel from mac. The only resource is to force quit. Native Instruments have provided a lot of support without a resolution on this matter but I think it could be a Reaper issue. Is there a dump or other diagnostic tool that I can use to either provide information to you or to Native?

I have suffered eight crashes today.

Three of them shutting down the computer on a beautiful huge blue screen.

Some Kontakt instruments (Kontakt 6.7.1 on all 12 tracks) are across the river, aiming at us.

I have a slight idea of what their names are, but since I am just suspicious...

And then Kontakt does not crash when used as a stand alone with them...

So I have removed a series of dynamic range meters I had in some tracks and on the master one as well and since then playing without any issues for the last couple of hours.

Mmmm...

Kontakt 6/7 and Reaper crash immediately if I create mono outputs within Kontakt. I don't know which app is to blame since I do not use other DAWs to test it. Anyone else? Stereo outputs work fine, though.

Just my experience to add to the Kontakt issued.

After removing those FX I talked about before I have been working without any issues for the last six hours.

Even have increased the number of tracks to 15, with Kontakt instruments again.

After placing again VST3: APU Loudness Meter (APU Software) in the project, it crashed after some three minutes.

Removed again, working without any issues for another half an hour and counting.

Uninstalled.
