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, the resonance that occurs in a 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 the 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 the fastest passages to be played without compromising expressiveness and fluidity of execution. The Key Touch Control function selects 3 different dynamic curves, adapting the instrument to personal playing technique and enabling a wide range of expressive nuances.

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

Vintage Electric Piano Tones

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 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 tones; two sounds can be layered simultaneously, and 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 through two independent headphone outputs, ideal for lessons with a teacher. Also available are 9 different temperaments, to perform early music repertoire consistently with period instruments.

Effects

Each tone can be processed by three effects: Brilliance, which adjusts overall brightness; Reverb, which simulates a natural environment (reverberation); and Chorus, which adds modulation and spatiality.

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, delivering the full dynamics of a 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, thin enough to be placed in 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 safe closing. The combination of elements such as the RH3 keyboard, the 3 pedals, and the amplification system ensures a perfect reproduction of all elements of a real concert grand piano.

The instrument 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 (mini stereo jack) connects the instrument to external amplification or a recorder.

Metronome: The built-in metronome allows you to set the musical meter, tempo speed, volume, and accents, to study 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 directly record the audio produced by the LP-380 U via USB, without the need for an additional sound card, as well as listen to audio transmitted from the computer through the LP-380 U's amplification.
