Best Answer

Keyboards are different in laptops when compared to desktop PCs, because of various reasons primary one being space constraints in terms of dimensions (both length, breadth and height). For laptops keyboard has to be integrated as part of the machine body. Laptops will be far bigger in size if similar layout and size of keyboards were used. Also due to height/thickness restrictions on laptops the vertical movement on keys (amount of depth for which the keys are pressed) is also less compared to desktop PC keyboards.

Is a piano different to a keyboard?

There's a big difference--a MIDI keyboard is a synthesizer equipped with MIDI while a standard keyboard is your desktop or laptop's computer keyboard. Don't get the two confused! What might be causing the confusion is that MIDI is the standardcommunication interface used in synthesizers that most synth manufactures (i.e. Yamaha, Roland, Korg) use.There are a lot of different types of music keyboards that come in different sizes and capabilities so to say that there's a standard keyboard is a bit ambiguous.

How do you reset a Yamaha keyboard?

There are two ways to reset a Yamaha keyboard: 1. Backup Reset (Will delete your playings saved in Backup Flash Memory) Your keyboard should be turned off. Then, press the very right white key and hold it pressed while you turn on the keyboard (stand by button). 2. Flash Clean (Will delete everything you purchased and downloaded from a PC to your keyboard) Your keyboard should be turned off. Then, press the very right white key PLUS THE closest 3 black keys to the mentioned white key and hold them pressed while you turn on the keyboard (stand by button). This method works for most of Yamaha Keyboards.
