Title: Mobile solution: USB powered expander?
Post by: elvis on July 25, 2016, 10:35:07 AM
Hallo.

I'm looking for a mobile solution for good sound output with varranger.
I have a surface pro 4: core i5 with 4gb ram (non extendable) and 128 gb ssd.

As the internal synth seems to need a lot of ram,
and i cannot carry around a 12 V mains supply,
the alternative seems to be a usb powered expander.

Is the ketron sd 4 the only solution when you have limited ram and no 220/110V?

And is it really so much better then the internal synth?

And: Is it possible to run a 2 gb (or even 1 gb) tablet with varranger?

Very much looking forward to your solutions...

Your surface pro 4 and 4gb of ram is very good and enough for the internal synth

If you don't like carrying extra gears, then it is better to go for the 100% virtual solution

I have a 2gb tablet and it is ok too.

I think 1gb is a bit limited as windows itself will use most of the 1Gb

But if you load only few sounds, it should be ok. By the way, 1Gb tablets are very hard to find nowadays :)
