How long is to long for a USB cable to be when hooking up a midi controller? I have a Novation ReMOTE SL 61 and I need a cavle that is about 10 feet long to be able to put the controller were I want it. Is there any delay issues to be concerned with?

Delay, not really, more signal degradation due to loss in long cables.

 

Some USB hubs are dumb repeaters and probably won't save you, some regenerate signals (high speed powered hubs usually, or anything on which you can mix high and low speed devices without speed degradation).

 

MOTU also supply damn long USB cables with their MIDI Interface kit. I've never opened one, but it looks quite long, say 17cm diameter, 9 turns, damn close to 5m.
