hi everyone!

i'm playing with my shiny new BCF2K, and i'm going to use it some
distance from my machine, so i'm going to try a midi link instead of USB.

what is the maximum length of midi chain that you have used without
problems? i read somewhere that no more than 15 meters are recommended,
which strikes me as pretty short even if it's unbalanced.

my idea is to abuse a cat5 cable as a triple midi loom - do you think
that could work? pinout would be as follows:

1       midi 1 signal
2       midi 1 ground
3       midi 2 signal
4       midi 2 ground
5       midi 3 signal
6       midi 6 ground
7       common +5V
8       common +5V


best,

jörn
