EZdrummer 2 with Surface pro

[staron]

Hello all,
I am novice to EZdrummer 2. Can EZdrummer 2(PC) be loaded unto Windows 10 Microsoft Surface Pro 3 ? If yes, then, what about audio and midi drivers ? Are there any separate drivers meant for windows tablet ?

Hi,

all kinds of Tablets are unsupported, you will need a PC or Mac computer.

I hope this clarifies.

Actually, the Surface Pro 3 is a real PC – and works well with
our plugs. The built in soundcard is a bit different than that
of most PCs, though. The speaker and head phone (line out)
outputs are separate ‘devices’. Still, it can be used with
ASIO4All. I have a small USB hub to which I have connected
my MIDI controller and an external interface (or DAC).

I still run Win8.1 on mine, so I cannot tell what Win10
works like. One of the issues is the size of the GUI.
One has to fiddle around a bit to get it into a readable size.
I hope that is better on Win10.

Hi – I have a Surface Pro (5th addition. 7300U cpu/Win 10) and wonder the same thing. Surface Pro computers have only 1 usb port. I have yet to get my Yamaha DTX700 module to trigger sounds through EZD2  (or vise versa). I have a PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 for a digital interface. I have Cubase and Studio 1 for my DAW, if the DAW matters. I also have ASIO4ALL installed on my Surface. I’m not entirely sure how to hook everything up. Drum Module into AudioBox then into Surface USB port then out from headphone output to head phones or monitor ? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I was pretty excited when I found EZD2, but I now feel I wasted my money. Again, any assistance is greatly appreciated.

The PreSonus AudioBox USB 96 looks like a good buy to me. Connect your e-drum to its MIDI input. Then make sure EZdrummer, or your DAW, is using it both as MIDI source and audio interface.
