You could get a standard USB extension cable like this if you prefer.
But I like to get completely new cable.
And what you are looking for is a USB type A, to USB type B cable. Type B is port on the MIDI keyboard, and type A is what you probably recognize as the USB ports on your computer. (see video if you don’t know what these look like)
These cables are often called ‘Printer cables’ or ‘data cables’ as well.
This is the cable we’ll use.
One thing you might notice about the included cable is that it includes a ferrite bead or EMI filter on the cable. And these just help to suppress electronic noise or interference.
You’ll notice that the cable we are using does not include the ferrite choke, and in this case, it’s probably not necessary, but you can always grab a pack of Ferrite beads and install them on any cable that you want.
Which is what we’ll do.
And that’s it.
Now we have a 10ft USB cable and we’re able to move our Komplete Kontrol around where ever we need it.
And everything works exactly the same as it did before.
So if you’re looking for a longer cable for your A49 or similar MIDI gear, go check these out.
