MIDI Wireline Length
By Gerry Bay

If one wants to drive a MIDI instrument from across a large room,
how long a cable can one use before running into problems?

Thanks,

Gerry Bay

 [ amplifier (line driver) and receiver boxes, sold several years ago
 [ as "MIDI Cable Driver" but no longer produced.  -- Robbie
