I have two Windows 8.1 x64 machines, both intel
- Lenovo desktop
- Acer laptop
I'm trying to use the control surface functionality of the Zoom R8. I have the latest x64 driver from here
http://www.zoom.co.jp/downloads/r8/software/.
Control surface should work via Mackie Control, described here

On both machines, the audio interface functionality of the Zoom works well with Reaper.
On the desktop, control surface works well.
On the laptop, I can't get control surface functionality to work at all. Reaper does not even recognize midi input from the Zoom when I try to assign keyboard shortcuts. That suggests to me that Reaper is not getting any midi input from the Zoom.
I tried a few different Reaper versions including 4.591, 4.57, 4.21. I tried 32-bit version of Reaper 4.591.
I guess it's not a Reaper problem, but if anyone had suggestions I'd be very grateful.
Of course, it's the laptop I want to use Reaper on, or I wouldn't be asking.
Apologies if this is the wrong forum.
