@Ace79 , if you have not read the threads yet, just to clarify since you have not been here for a while.
The new AE was not ready to be released at the time v10 was. There was a decision made by fractal, based on feedback from some users and fractal artists IIRC, to release a workable version of AE , until the new one is ready.
I am glad they did, just remember it can crash on occasion and act up a bit from time to time. When changing any of the parameters , or blocks , let the change take effect before making the next move. Watch the "midi lights" flicker and you will be able to tell when it takes place, and then do your next move. This has helped keeping it stable for the most part, at least for me.
