Main features

Thirty high-quality sounds The LP-380 provides 30 built-in expressive high- quality sounds, including a stereo concert grand piano. You can use Layer mode to simultaneously play two sounds at once, or you can use Partner mode, which allows two people to play the same range, one on each half of the keyboard.
Effects The LP-380 provides 3 built-in digital effects. These effects can adjust the brightness of the tone (Brilliance), simulate the natural ambience of a concert hall (Reverb) and add richness to the sound (Chorus).
Pedal effects As on an acoustic piano, the LP-380 has three pedals that control the damper, sostenuto and soft effects. The damper pedal and soft pedal will respond to half-pedaling, allowing you to vary the depth of the effect by how far you’re pressing the pedal. When pressing the damper pedal, you can also add the damper resonance to the classic piano and the grand piano tone (bank 1 and 2 of Piano1).
Metronome The built-in metronome allows you to select the time signature, tempo, and volume, and you can even choose a bell sound as the accent.
Touch control You can choose from three different settings to adjust how the sound will respond to your keyboard playing dynamics.
Temperaments For authentic performance of a wide range of music, the LP-380 allows you to select from nine temperaments, including the equal temperament, pure temperaments (major and minor), classical temperaments (Kirnberger and Werckmeister) as well as temperaments used with Middle Eastern and Indian folk music. When an acoustic piano sound is selected, the stretched tuning used on pianos is automatically selected.
Adjustable pitch The Transpose function lets you change the pitch of the piano, and the Pitch Control function allows you to make finely tuned adjustments.
Two headphone jacks Two headphone jacks are provided, allowing two people to listen simultaneously.
LINE OUT jack An amplified speaker or recording equipment can be connected by using the LINE OUT jack.
USB-MIDI/USB-AUDIO By connecting the LP-380 to your computer with a USB cable, you can use the LP-380 as a MIDI keyboard for playing external sound sources, or use the computer to control the LP-380, using it as a 16-part multitimbral sound generator (USB-MIDI). You can also record the sound of what you play on the LP-380 on your computer as audio data, or play sound from the computer through the speakers on the LP380 (USB-AUDIO).

About the included stand
The LP-380 is used with the included stand. Make sure that you read the “Assembling the stand” section that can be found on page 17 before proceeding.

Fig. 1 Cord hook

Connecting the Power Connect the supplied AC adapter to the power cord. Insert the DC plug end into the DC19V jack on the rear of the conector box. Next, plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
Pass the AC adapter cord through the cord hook so that the plug won’t be removed from the jack accidentally (Fig. 1). When you unhook the cord, don’t pull on the cord with force.
Be sure to use the AC adapter that came with your unit. Using other AC adapters may cause the malfunctions or other unforeseen events.
Be sure to plug the unit into an AC outlet of the appropriate voltage.

2. Fold down the edge on the end of the key cover.
Closing the key cover 1. Raise the edge, and gently pull the key cover toward yourself.

2. When the key cover begins to close on its own, release it. The key cover is designed to close softly on its own from about mid-way down. Do not forcibly pull the key cover when closing this. In addition, do not forcibly close the key cover by applying strong pressure. Doing so will damage the unit.
Be careful not to pinch your fingers or hands when closing the key cover.
The temperature and humidity will affect how fast the key cover closes. The key cover may make a faint clicking sound when it’s being closed slowly. This is normal behavior for the unit.

Each time the LP-380 is turned on, the sound in bank 1 is selected for all sound buttons.
Playing two sounds at the same time (Layer mode)
You can play two sounds at the same time on the keyboard. This is called the Layer mode. Simultaneously press the two sound buttons for the sounds to be played at the same time. The two selected sound buttons will light up.
The leftmost or uppermost selected sound button is layer 1, and the other (rightmost or lowermost) one is layer 2 (see the diagram at the below).
Layer 1
Layer 2 For example, if E.PIANO1 and ORGAN1 are selected, E.PIANO1 is layer 1 and ORGAN1 is layer 2. In order to use sounds in different banks, first select the banks in the Single mode for the sound buttons to be pressed. For example, to play by layering the Grand Piano and Jazz Organ2 sounds, select bank 2 (Grand Piano) for the PIANO1 button and bank 2 (Jazz Organ2) for the ORGAN1 button, and then press both buttons simultaneously.
When selecting Layer mode, the total number of voices that can play at the same time is reduced, depending on the total number of oscillators used by the selected sounds. (refer to “About maximum polyphony” on page 16.)
Sounds in different banks for the same sound button (grand piano and jazz piano for the PIANO1 button) cannot be selected.
Returning to the Single mode To return to Single mode, just press a single sound selection button.
Layer mode settings In Layer mode, the volume balance between sounds can be adjusted, the octave for each sound can be shifted, and the damper pedal can be enabled or disabled for each sound. (refer to “Function mode” on page 11.)

Using pedals
The LP-380 has three pedals; damper, sostenuto, and soft. You can use the pedals to make your playing more expressive and realistic.

Soft pedal Damper pedal
Sostenuto pedal

Soft pedal (left)
Pressing this pedal will make the tone softer. You can control the softness of the tone by how far down you press the on pedal (“half-pedaling”).

Sostenuto pedal (center)
Pressing this pedal will apply the damper effect only to the notes that are already being held down on the keyboard,
and will sustain only those notes. The damper effect will not be applied to any additional notes that you play while holding down the Sostenuto pedal.

Damper pedal (right)
Pressing this pedal will sustain the sound, producing a richly resonant decay. You can also add the damper resonance to the classic piano and the grand piano tone (bank 1 and 2 of Piano1). You can also use halfpedalling, with a gradual resonance effect depending on the depth of the pedal pressure (“half- pedaling”).

In Layer mode, you can select the sound(s) where you want to apply the pedal. (refer to “Specifying layer pedals” on page 13)
In Partner mode (see page 12), the damper effect can be applied independently by both players.
Effects
Brilliance This effect changes the brightness of the tone. The setting can be changed by holding down the BRILLIANCE button and pressing the UP or DOWN button beside the display.
The setting appears in the display with 3 producing a brighter sound and 1 producing a less bright sound. The same setting is applied to all sounds and remains applied until the LP-380 is turned off. When the instrument is turned on, the default setting 2 is selected.
Brilliance cannot be turned off.
Reverb This effect adds ambience and depth to the sound, producing the sense of performing in a concert hall. As a factory default, the on/off setting for this effect as well as this effect’s setting are saved with each sound. Each press of the REVERB button turns the reverb on (button lights up) or off (button turns off). To change this setting, hold down the REVERB button and press the UP or DOWN button beside the display.
The setting appears in the display with 3 producing a deep reverb effect and 1 producing a light reverb effect. If a different sound is selected or if the LP-380 is turned off, the on/off setting for this effect as well as this effect’s setting return to their factory defaults (default settings).
Chorus Chorus adds modulation to the sound, producing an expansively rich sound. As a factory default, the on/off setting for this effect as well as this effect’s setting are saved with each sound. Each press of the CHORUS button turns the Chorus effect on (button lights up) or off (button turns off). To change this setting, hold down the CHORUS button and press the UP or DOWN button beside the display.
The setting appears in the display with 3 producing a deep chorus effect and 1 producing a light chorus effect. If a different sound is selected or if the LP-380 is turned off, the on/off setting for this effect as well as this effect’s setting return to their factory defaults (default settings).

Transpose
In some cases, a song may be written in a difficult key (e.g., many black keys), or you may wish to shift the pitch to match another instrument or vocalist. In such cases, you can transpose (shift the pitch) so that you can use an easier fingering, or use the same familiar fingering to play at a
different pitch. This is called the Transpose function. You can shift within a range of 11 semitones so that when transposing upward by one semitone, playing the notes shown at the left produces the pitches shown at the right.

When the instrument is turned on, the transposing is reset.
While holding down the TRANSPOSE button, press the keyboard key (F#6­F7) for the desired transposition. If a keyboard key other than C7 is pressed, the TRANSPOSE button lights up to indicate that the keyboard is transposed. The pitch of the entire keyboard is transposed according to the pitch of the pressed keyboard key in relation to C7.

To return to the original pitches, hold down the TRANSPOSE button and press the C7 key. The TRANSPOSE but-
ton turns off, and transposition is canceled.

Display 00

Temperament
Equal temperament (default setting): Spacing all semitones at equal pitch intervals, this temperament is the most widely used.

01 Pure temperament [major]: Major chords in the key (C) are perfectly tuned.

02 Pure temperament [minor]: Minor chords in the key (C) are perfectly tuned.

03 Arabic: This scale includes the quarter-tone intervals used in Arabic music.

04 Pythagorean: This ancient Greek scale is espe-
cially effective for playing melodies. It consists
of perfect fifths; however, other intervals ­ the major third in particular ­ is out of tune.

05 Werckmeister: The Werckmeister III scale was created in the later Baroque period to allow relatively free transposition.
06 Kirnberger: The Kirnberger III scale is used mainly for tuning harpsichords.

07 Slendro scale: This is an Indonesian gamelan scale with five notes per octave.
08 Pelog scale: This is an Indonesian gamelan scale with seven notes per octave.

MIDI

What is MIDI?
MIDI, is the abbreviation of Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It is an international standard that was created to connect and transfer data between electronic musical instruments, computers and other devices.
What can you do with MIDI?
MIDI lets you control MIDI applications running on your computer or play the sound generator on the LP-380 from your computer when the LP-380 and computer are connected with a USB cable. Connecting the LP-380 to a computer that runs a music application will bring you even more enjoyment when producing music and playing the piano.
Connections
Connect the USB port on the LP-380 to your computer with a USB cable.
When the LP-380 is first connected to your Windows computer, the USB-MIDI driver pre-installed with the operating system will be used automatically. This preinstalled USB-MIDI driver will not allow the LP-380 to access multiple programs or applications at the same time. To remedy this situation, simply download the KORG USB-MIDI driver at www.korg.com and install the driver as instructed with the supporting documentation. Even if the LP-380 will not be used with multiple applications, we recommend installing the KORG USBMIDI driver, which should provide improved operating stability.
MIDI function mode
When the LP-380 is turned on, the MIDI parameters are set to transmission channel 1, all reception channels (1­16), Local On and Omni Off. These settings can be changed from the MIDI function mode.
Setting procedure for parameters in the MIDI
function mode
1. Hold down the FUNCTION button with the function mode not established. The PIANO 1 button lights up, and the MIDI channel setting (C01) appears in the display. The FUNCTION button is blinking.
2. Press the sound button corresponding to the desired parameter. The current setting appears in the display.
3. Specify the desired setting.
4. After specifying the desired settings, press the FUNCTION button to return to the mode for playing. The FUNCTION button turns off.

1,4

3

3

When the LP-380 is turned off, all parameters return to their default settings.

Changing the MIDI channels
Data can be transmitted and received on MIDI channels 1 through 16 (C01­C16). When the LP-380 is turned on, transmission channel 1 (C01) is automatically selected.
· When you enter the MIDI function mode, the PIANO1 sound button lights up. When the MIDI function mode is entered, the MIDI
channel setting normally appears. To specify the MIDI channel setting after changing other settings in the MIDI function mode, press the
PIANO1 button.
In the Layer mode, selecting the transmission channel specifies the channel for layer 1. The transmission channel for layer 2 will automatically be set to the following channel. For example, if MIDI channel 7 is selected for the sound of layer 1, MIDI channel 8 will automatically be specified for the sound of layer 2. If MIDI channel 16 is se-
lected for the sound of layer 1, channel 1 will be specified for the sound of layer 2.
Local On/Off With the Local On setting, playing the LP-380’s keyboard produces the sounds of the performance as well as transmits MIDI data. With the Local Off setting, playing the LP-380’s keyboard does not produce the sounds of the
performance; MIDI data is only transmitted. Normally this
parameter is set to Local On (default setting: on). When using the LP-380 as a master keyboard, turn the LO-
CAL OFF setting to “oFF” if you want to control a sound generator on your computer by playing notes on the LP-
380 keyboard, for example. With this setting, you will not hear notes coming from the LP-380, but you can play the sound generator of the computer you are connected to. When using the LP-380 as a sound generator connected to your computer running a sequencer app, set the LOCAL OFF of the LP-380 to “oFF” to prevent the data echoing back from the sequencer and sounding notes in duplicate (in other words, the retransmission of data received by the sequencer).
· Enter the MIDI function mode, and then press the
PIANO2 button.
The PIANO2 sound button lights up, and the Local On/
Off setting (on) appears in the display.

14

Enabling/disabling program change transmis-
sion/reception filtering You can send MIDI program change numbers from the LP380 to change programs on MIDI applications that are running on the computer that you have connected. Also, the LP-380 can receive MIDI program change numbers sent from a MIDI application running on the computer you have connected, to change programs on the LP-380.
This will not change the sound you hear when playing the keyboard of the LP-380.
For program change numbers and their corresponding sounds, refer to “Table of sounds and corresponding program change numbers” below. To transmit/receive program change messages, disable this function (oFF: default setting). To not transmit/receive the messages, enable this function (on).
· Enter the MIDI function mode, and then press the E.PIANO1 button. The E.PIANO1 sound button lights up, and the setting (oFF) appears in the display.
Transmitting program changes When a sound is selected using the sound buttons and BANK button on the LP-380, the corresponding MIDI program change number is transmitted.
Receiving program changes When the LP-380 receives a MIDI program change number, the sound is changed to the corresponding number.
If an incompatible program change number is received, the LP-380 sound is not changed.

Table of sounds and corresponding program change numbers CC0: Bank Select (MSB) for all sounds is set to 121.

Appendix

Troubleshooting
If during use any of the following problems should occur, carefully examine the instrument to see if you can find out what the problem is, and try resolving it by following the suggestions below. If the instrument will still not function properly refer to your dealer.
The instrument will not turn on · Check that the AC adapter is correctly connected to the
piano and the outlet.
No sound · Is the speaker cord of the speaker box on the stand con-
nected with the speaker connector on the LP-380 correctly?
· Make sure that the volume is not set on MIN. If it is, bring it up to an adequate level.
· Make sure that the MIDI Local function is not set on OFF. If it is, set it to ON (or turn the instrument off and then on again).
· Make sure there is not a jack plugged into one of the Headphones jacks. This would turn the internal speakers off. if so, unplug the jack.
Notes are interrupted · You have exceeded the maximum polyphony. see
“About maximum polyphony.”
The pitch or tone of the piano sounds wrong in some
key regions · The LP-380’s piano sounds replicate the sound of an
actual piano as faithfully as possible. This means that in some regions of the keyboard, you may feel that the overtones seem stronger, or that the tone or pitch seems wrong. This is not a malfunction.
The connected MIDI application does not respond to
MIDI data that you transmit. · Make sure that the USB cable is connected correctly.
Please make sure that the LP-380 is set to the same MIDI channel as your MIDI application, and that the LP-380 is receiving MIDI data.
About maximum polyphony If the number of notes being played simultaneously exceeds the maximum polyphony, some notes will be lost since the LP-380 is equipped with a mechanism that stops the first note being played to give priority to notes played with keys pressed later. Some LP-380 sounds, although they may be a single sound, are generated by two or more oscillators (one note of a sound-generating circuit). Sounds using just one oscillator, such as those in banks 1 and 2 of VIBES/GUITAR, have a maximum polyphony of 120 notes. Sounds using two oscillators, such as those in banks 1 and 2 of PIANO2 and in banks 1 and 3 of E.PIANO2, have a maximum polyphony of 60 notes.
120 ÷ Number of sound oscillators = Maximum polyphony
Keep the maximum polyphony in mind and carefully choose sounds when using Layer mode to play two sounds simultaneously or when using the damper pedal.
