Hi Folks

  and i like to use a midi Keyboard... 

 The distance between the two Mashines is more than 40 Meters

best Regards

There are some utilities that will give you Midi over the network.... If possible I would convert my Midi into OSC for transmission (personal preference).

One utility for Windows is: https://www.tobias-erichsen.de...

I extend the computers USB out to the midi box. USB extenders can be cheap.

 I used this guide to send MIDI over a network for a show a number of years ago, so I'm not sure if the guide is still entirely accurate, but yes, MIDI-over-network is possible: https://help.ableton.com/hc/en-us/articles/209071169-Setting-up-a-virtual-MIDI-network

or, with 2 computers on the LAN, you can send MIDI to Isadora on one machine, then send the data to Isadora on the other machine using Net Broadcaster and Listener actors.

@jedlag Someone build a cabled for me in 2006 midi in (1m to XLR. 50 m of XLR and then another xlr to Midi. It worked superwell
