Just Grab pair of ED4, hopefuly they can arrive safely soon, coz I'm trying with free shipping this time (tight budget... LoL)
Now.. just thinking how to combine them w/ED8... and sell my Z17 (wish someone will buy it. LoL)
are there any certain rules bout the cable length? USB Hub? for two ED4 to ED8 does it hsve to be self powered USB hub? (it is still using USB2 right?)
Any sugesstions are appreciated, thanks in advance

Use an unpowered 4 port hub. USB2 or USB3 hubs will both work.

There's some connection diagrams in the manual. You can connect your module to the ED8 MIDI Out port and it'll receive the MIDI from all three eDRUMins. The ED8 will be powered by your PC, and the ED4s will get their power from the ED8.

USB Host Port

noted, thanks Rob.. i already knew the power diagram if ED8 connected to PC, what i still courious is when ED8 not connected with PC,...but host port are connected eith ED4, so the option i triggerthe module is only by ED8 midi out right? cant i use unused port on usb hub to trigger drum module or to powered ED8?
I noticedthat ED4 got 9V power adapter.. if i connecting ED4 with ED8 without PC.. does ED4 can powered ED8 with that 9V power adapter equiped? thanks

You can power the ED8 by connecting its USB B port to a phone charger. Your module may even have a USB-A port for a memory stick and you can probably use that.
