MIDI Wireline Length
By Gary Rasmussen

I have my PowerRoll on my Steck Duo-Art in the living room, connected
to my home computer at the other end of the house.  Cable length is
about 50 feet and it works just fine.  I have been told that much longer
lengths have been used with no problems but I do not know how long.

Gary Rasmussen

 [ The killer is the capacitance per foot.  Loosely twisted wire is
 [ good.  If external noise is picked up then low-capacitance shielded
 [ wire may be tried, such as auto radio antenna cable or cable for a
 [ high-impedance microphone.  I suggest trying the doorbell wire first:
 [ it's the cheapest.  -- Robbie
