It just speculation on my part but it just has to do with the way the OS works. It is possible to use very long cables but the data rate will have to be dropped.Įven USB-1 is about 1000x times faster than MIDI. Just look at data transmission over RS-232. Now if the cable and/or connector is damaged it can cause an electrical mismatch in impedance and this in turn leads to reflections which in turn leads to loss of data. The difference in signal delay between a 2-3 ft cable and 15 ft cable is in the ns (nano second) range which is a millionth of a ms (milliseconds). As long as the cable and connectors are not damaged and built to spec the length should have minimal effect. The comment was purely from an engineering and physics background. I am in no way and expert on MIDI and sound equipment in general so leave it at that.
