The length depends on the length of Ethernet cable that you use. USB extenders are generally able to support distances of up to 164 feet (50 m). This is found on computers, hubs, or any device intended to have peripherals plugged into it. Insignia™ - 12' USB 3.0 Extension Cable A-Male to A-Female - Black. All suggestions gratefully received (I know I can buy current generation MIDI keyboards, but that seems a bit defeatist at this stage).Or use a USB powered hub with its own power supply.

I don't feel inclined to take the lid off the machine and delve into it, though as this model seems to be a favourite target of the circuit-bending community there may well be possibilities to do so. Any suggestions? as it's an old (aka vintage) keyboard it could be a first generation midi chip (or even custom firmware to do it), perhaps upgrades are possible. I've used a software MIDI monitor (Kmidimon) which confirms the description above. To me this seems like a Casio bug either hardware or firmware. This is totally repeatable and so far I have not been able to send more than one note event (off or on, Midi mode 3) without changing the program/keyboard sound. However, driving a software synth (Zynaddsubfx) from the Casio keyboard exhibits the strange phenomenon that only a single Note Event gets sent, changing the Program on the Casio (ie the keyboard sound) sends a program change event after which another single note event can be sent. Driving the Casio from a software step sequencer works fine. The Casio has 5-pin DIN connections and the netbook is USB so I've bought a DIN/USB converter. I'm just getting back into MIDI after a LONG outage and am attempting to connect my Casio MT240 keyboard to a Linux netbook.
