Members twostone Posted April 24, 2013 Members Share Posted April 24, 2013 Just wondering does midi cable have latency after certain length ? I need extend the midi only cable with a 20ft midi cable run to a shorter 3ft usb/midi cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dboomer Posted April 24, 2013 Members Share Posted April 24, 2013 The latency of cables for moving signal is essentially the speed of light. The speed of MIDI is somewhat slower so it won't have any real effect until your cable is about 500 miles long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OneEng Posted April 24, 2013 Members Share Posted April 24, 2013 Considering the very slow transfer rate (31K Baud), the latency due to the length of the cable could not possibly be a problem.If you get the cable too long, the issue will be signal degradation (the active bits won't get high enough). The lengths you are talking about should be no issue at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
