The Acoustic Piano Sound
It is based on two accurate Stereo Multi Samples: Classic Piano and Grand Piano, into which important details such as String Resonance have been introduced, i.e., the resonance that manifests itself in the real instrument when the Damper pedal is pressed. This increases the degree of realism and makes this instrument even more enjoyable to play. To reproduce the playing sensation as close as possible to that of an authentic acoustic piano, four different dynamic-timbral levels can be recalled via the keyboard dynamics; from the most delicate pianissimo to the most aggressive fortissimo, the instrument always responds realistically to your playing technique.
The RH3 (Real Weighted Hammer) keyboard
The RH3 (Real Weighted Hammer) keyboard reproduces the same tactile sensation as the mechanism of a real concert grand piano; including gradual weighting between the bass and treble regions of the keyboard itself; the response in playing repetitions has also been further improved, so the fastest passages can be played without compromising expressiveness and fluidity of performance. The Key Touch Control function selects 3 different dynamics curves, which adapt the instrument to personal playing technique, making a wide range of expressive nuances possible.
RH3 is an environmentally friendly keybed that does not use lead in its hammers.
Vintage Electric Piano Timbres
KORG has paid particular attention to the creation of electric piano sounds. The advanced sound generation system, in fact, in addition to faithfully reproducing the typical dynamic and timbral variations of these instruments, also generates the typical characteristic noises caused by key release. Six timbral variations are available, including the most typical sounds used in 60s and 70s pop and soul music.
30 High-Quality Sounds
The LP-380-BK U has a total of 30 high-quality and expressive timbres; it is possible to layer two sounds simultaneously, and the Partner mode is available, which divides the keyboard into two parts (right and left), allowing two performers to use the same musical pitches on the keyboard, listening to the instrument from the two independent headphone outputs, ideal for lessons with a teacher. There are also 9 different temperaments available, to perform the repertoire of early music in a manner consistent with period instruments.
The effects
Each timbre can be processed by three effects: Brilliance that adjusts the overall brightness, Reverb that simulates the natural environment (reverberation), Chorus that adds modulation and spaciousness.
High-quality and dynamic amplification
The internal amplification system (2 x 22 Watts) provides the highest dynamic output in this product class, reproducing piano sounds with fidelity and timbral richness, restoring all the dynamics of the real instrument, with deep bass and brilliant highs. The position of the two large diameter speakers (10 cm) inside the cabinet adds a more natural depth and resonance to the sound; creating the sensation that the sound propagates from the entire instrument with a highly realistic sound image.
Elegant design
The LP-380-BK U adapts to any environment and decor, with a depth of only 26 cm, slim enough to fit into any living space. The wooden keyboard cover is flat on top, allowing the instrument to elegantly blend into the environment when not being played. The keyboard cover uses a special mechanism for gradual and secure closing. The combination of elements such as the RH3 keyboard, the 3 pedals, and the amplification system ensures the perfect reproduction of all the elements of a real concert grand piano.
The LP-380 U is available in the following color finishes: Black - BK; White - WH; Red - Red; Rosewood - Rosewood/RW; Dark Rosewood - Rosewood/BK.
LINE OUT Jack: this output (stereo mini jack) connects the instrument to an external amplification system or recorder.
Metronome: The built-in metronome allows you to set the musical meter, tempo speed, volume; and accents, to study the piano with rigor and rhythmic precision.
Standard Pedal Set: The LP-380-BK U has the three typical pedals of an acoustic concert grand piano. It also supports the “half pedal” (Half-pedaling) function on the Damper and Soft pedals.
USB/MIDI & AUDIO Port (type "B"): By connecting the LP-380-BK U to a computer with a USB cable, you can use the piano to control external sound sources, or use the computer to control the piano. It is also
possible to record audio produced by the LP-380-BK U directly via USB, without the need for an additional sound card, as well as listen to audio transmitted from the computer through the LP-380-BK U's amplification.
The LP-380 U comes with a wide range of software, capable of rapidly advancing personal knowledge and skills in the musical field.
