Acoustic piano sound

It is based on two accurate Stereo Multi Samples: Classic Piano and Grand Piano, which incorporate important details such as String Resonance, which is the resonance that occurs 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 a playing sensation as close as possible to that of an authentic acoustic piano, four different dynamic-timbral levels can be recalled via keyboard dynamics; from the most delicate pianissimo to the most aggressive fortissimo, the instrument always responds realistically to your playing technique.

The superb tactile sensation of 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 repeated notes has also been further improved, allowing faster passages to be played without compromising expressiveness and fluidity. The Key Touch Control function selects 3 different dynamic curves, which adapt the instrument to personal playing technique, making a wide range of expressive nuances possible.

RH3 is an environmentally friendly keybed: no lead is used in its hammers.

Vintage electric piano sounds

KORG has paid particular attention to creating electric piano sounds. The advanced sound generation system, in fact, in addition to faithfully reproducing the dynamic and timbral variations typical of these instruments, also generates the typical characteristic noises caused by key release. Six timbral variations are available, covering the most typical sounds used in 60s and 70s pop and soul music.

30 High-quality sounds

The LP-380 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 ancient music in a way consistent with historical instruments.

The effects

Each timbre can be processed by three effects: Brilliance, which adjusts overall brightness, Reverb, which simulates the natural environment (reverberation), and Chorus, which 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 placement 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 U fits into any environment and decor, with a depth of only 26 cm, slim enough to fit into any living space. The wooden key cover is flat on top, allowing the instrument to blend elegantly into the environment when not being played. The key cover uses a special mechanism for progressive 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.

You can choose the instrument 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, for studying the piano with rigor and rhythmic precision.

Standard Pedal Set: The LP-380 U has the three typical pedals of an acoustic concert grand piano. It also supports the "half pedal" function on the Damper and Soft pedals.

USB/MIDI & AUDIO Port (type "B"): By connecting the LP-380 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 the audio produced by the LP-380 U directly via USB, without the need for an additional sound card, as well as listen to the audio transmitted from the computer on the LP-380 U's amplification.
