ASIO crashes

When My sequencer crashes and I re-load is says ASIO drivers are taken.Does SFP hold the communication with crashed program?

kinda...
actually it is the crashed program that doesn't release them.
restart, no big deal.

there's only one instance of ASIO. If your sequencer crashes it doesn't release it.
On restart the sequencer finds the orphaned instance marked as 'in use' (by it's own previous run).
Since it's a driver you just cannot open or close it (the core part of the code) arbitrarily, only the OS can - hence it has to be rebooted.

ps: amazing synchronicity across an ocean and a continent...

After the crash, close Scope and start in XTC mode. Close the sequencer, start Scope, start sequencer. Alternatively, switch to the ASIO Multimedia driver or to any ASIO driver (except the Scope one) and then back to the Scope one..
Either way it is far quicker than a reboot (for me)

No reboot here either. Just start ASIO client with SFP slave to nothing (-- samplerate) and the client will complain that no is driver found. Next, close the client. Select a valid samplerate again, open the client, done.
