Does anyone know why keyboards associated with midi devices always seem to
have fewer keys than a normal piano keyboard? I am interested in finding a
full-size keyboard (88 keys) that will interface with my computer. From
what I have seen so far, Yamaha has a keyboard with the most keys (61);
some other units have as few as 41 keys. Maybe the answer is that you can
change to octaves above and below a keyboard's actual range by means of a
switch. I realize that this is not a clarinet-related question, but there
have been several postings about midi devices. I hope that someone can
help! TIA.
