Introduction
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 key-
board.
E󰀨ects
TheLP-380provides3built-indigitaleects.Theseeects
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 e󰀨ects
As on an acoustic piano, the LP-380 has three pedals that
controlthedamper,sostenutoandsofteects.Thedamper
pedal and soft pedal will respond to half-pedaling, allow-
ingyoutovarythedepthoftheeect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 sig-
nature, tempo, and volume, and you can even choose a bell
sound as the accent.
Touch control
Youcanchoosefromthreedierentseings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, in-
cluding the equal temperament, pure temperaments (ma-
jor 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
nelytunedadjustments.
Two headphone jacks
Two headphone jacks are provided, allowing two people to
listen simultaneously.
LINE OUT jack

nected by using the LINE OUT jack.
USB-MIDI/USB-AUDIO
By connecting the LP-380 to your computer with a USB ca-
ble, 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 LP-
380 (USB-AUDIO).
