Re: Midi cable help

Thanks Jon, this is good to know.  Are all midi cables the same?  Meaning, can I use the same cable on both of my keyboards?Thanks again,Don.............

     MIDI cables..length is not really an issue.go from your controller to the first device, thean thru to the 2nd.. make sure you have Omni, Poly and Multi set the way it works for your gear.

     I could use some help and advice on a subject I know absolutely nothing about.  I have 2 keyboards both midi capable,  or so I believe.  One is a Korg SGPROX and the other is a K2500.  Both 20 year old keyboards.I'd like to explore the world of midi and I need cables that will work for these keyboards.  They will go into my Behringer Xr18..   Can someone tell me what cables I  need?  Also will the length of the cable affect performance?  I'm guessing in need 15 to 20 ft. cables.  The keyboards and mixer are on different sides of the room.As I said I know absolutely nothing about this feature so maybe what I don't know will keep me from doing this.
Thanks, Don.....
