Tracktion 3 MIDI is buggy

After using Traction 3 for almost a year (read my conclusion here) solely for mixing audio I started on a MIDI project. I tried out with Garritan Personal Orchestra (read more about options I have tried here).

Traction often crashes when I try to load MIDI files downloaded from the Internet. The files plays correctly with MIDI-OX and Windows Media player.

When Traction manages to read the MIDI file (it happens on one of ten tries) I can work on my MIDI project and try to map instruments to Garritan. This works almost well. Some times when I try to load instruments then Traction crashes again.

Basically I can not work with MIDI using Tracktion.

Looking into the forums for help just confirms that other people also has similar problems. The product has not been updated for over a year, and there seems to be nothing new from the Mackie web site.

For now I am looking into REAPER to see if it any good and can replace Tracktion...
