Everything about Nord keyboards in general; which one to choose, the sound manager, sample editor, and general discussion about the sample and piano libraries.

USB cable

Post by rb4u1 »

I have a USB cable that is 6 ft long. I would like to use a 9 or 10 ft
If they are available. I believe it is not recommended to go over 6 ft.
But it would make things flow better for me. Are there any recommended
Sources and what size is that called that the Nord connects to ?
Thanks

My USB cable is 16 feet and seems to work OK.

The organisation behind the USB specifications say the cable can be up to 5 meter (16 feet) for high speed USB 1.1 (12 mbit/sec) and full speed USB 2.0 (480 mbit/sec). There's also low speed USB 1.1 (1.5 mbit/sec), but I'm pretty sure this is not what the Nords use (they probably use high speed USB).

The 16 feet (5 meter or 16 feet 5 inches according to the spec) cable David has is the maximum length you can use.
