I'm looking at the Casio WK 6600 keyboard and see
that the old fashioned
MIDI connectors are replaced with a USB - B connector. Can anyone answer:
1. These connections are okay to connect my linux desktop computer to the
keyboard using a standard USB A-B cable?
Yes.
2. How long can the MIDI cable be? I suppose if
it's too short I could
always insert an extension cable?
I don't know if there's a length limit. I think if the keyboard's in the same
room as the computer, I don't think cables will be long enough to matter.
3. Could I use a real MIDI cable from the computer and
convert that to USB?
If the keyboard doesn't *have* a MIDI port, why bother? My USB<>MIDI adaptor is
powered via USB, so I think it might have to be plugged into the computer's USB, not
the keyboard's USB.
