Microsoft Surface Pro 3 with Mpc Ren?

I guess you can but the problem woukd be that although the surface is mutitouch, I don't think mpc software is multitouch ready, so of you are looking for a impc style response you won't get it.
I don't know for sure, is just a guess.

Yes I was hoping that it would have an impc style response with the Surface.Thanks

It works okay, but you are better off using the controller or using then pen tool to draw in notes.

no problems with win8 here

anyone using any other DAWs with the surface pro 3?

Akai Mpc software

I didn't try cubase or pro tools because of the usb dongle.

You have problems with everything you touch.
Just read around the whole forum, your failures are well documented.
I'm not surprised it doesn't work for "you".

Theres not a lot of DAW's with a built in mutli-touch interface try google for more info. Sonar has incorporated one is ok to use although not great on surface 2 not sure about 3. Abelton doesn't have one and is terrible to use, Bitwig seems to work ok.
