MIDI over distance

2003-09-04 by bparker0701

My computer is my bedroom, and my drums are in the basement.  I have 
an ethernet network that "hubs/switches" in the basement.  It would 
be about 20 feet of cable to run directly between them.  Is that 
distance OK?  Is there an ethernet or wireless setup that might suit 
me better?  I know there's USB-2-MIDI interfaces.  I also know that 
there's wireless USB.  I know that I'll be doing some running back 
and forth for loading and unloading, but don't have another computer 
at the moment to put down there.
