max length DIN/DOUT cable with core32

MIDIbox SEQ

Hi buddies

what’s the maximal length for a flat cable between Seq V4 Wilba control surface and the Mios32 core ?

Same question for the display cables

the idea is to put all the circuits (core, jacks, aout ng, etc) and cables in a rack bay and use the control surface as a remote like in Akai S6000 or Lexicon 480L

Best regards

The cables shouldn’t be longer than 20 cm. Longer cables could work, but you have to try this on your own risk.

If LCD cables are too long, the displays won’t work at all, or will sometimes output random values.

If SRIO cables are too long, LEDs will start to flicker, random button functions could be triggered, or all buttons/LEDs could be shifted by 1..2 positions.

is this only because of the cables resistance? or is it something else?

It’s related to the cable impedance.
