Agreed. With length, I meant this and the voltage drop from the 5 volt 
out (as you comment below). Probably mostly a matter of cable quality.
It's of no consequense ATM; however, I'm of cause planning my controls 
for the "A Wizard, A True Star" huge stage ego trip :-D  LoL

Me neigher yet. Docs says it can use a control voltage. Will see..

Hmmm..  more engineering; my hump..
