I tried several different cables (I really wanted a 15-to-20 foot cord... simply for reasons of geography in my workspace), but they all failed to deliver data between the computer and the MIDI board. Only when I got to 6 feet did it work.

Get a long USB cord which has a built in repeater. I'm running a ~15 ft long one from my Vdrum's usb midi connection to the workstation in my recording studio. Works flawlessly.

We should start a music/tech/recording ping list.

My look at that found few that were USB-C to USB-C... most of them I’ve found have a USB-A on at least one end. I admit my fear is this: while I see cables with repeaters from 20 to 40 ft. (even 50 ft!), I’m a bit shy of spending the money on that since I start having trouble above 6 ft.

In any case, it’s working now that I rearranged the room to accommodate a shorter cord :D. Will definitely revisit if I have to move everything around again!
