I can no longer use Mixer to change instruments for playback. Clicking on the red arrows and text doesn't work, neither does clicking on the INST. LIST button. This used to work just a few days ago. Volume sliders work.

Related?: Mixer usually takes a long time to load. And every time I play something, it takes a long time to regenerate. I have resorted to closing the Mixer window before I play a track.

I'm on an Intel i5 with 16 GB of RAM, so computing power shouldn't be an issue.

Have you restarted the computer? Tried refreshing the preferences?

Ah, restarting the computer did the trick, thanks.

So why does it take so long for the Mixer to load?
