Performing with another person

Two people can play in the same range with the keyboard
divided in half between them. This is called the Partner
mode.

used for both the left and right sides of the keyboard.
While the Partner mode is ON, a dot in the lower right
of the display appears.
The right side of the keyboard, from E4 to C8, produces
sounds in a range two octaves lower (E2–C6).
The left side of the keyboard, from A0 to E
♭
4, produces
sounds in a range two octaves higher (A2–E
♭
6).
4. To exit Partner mode, press the DOWN buon beside
the display to select oFF.
5. Press the FUNCTION buon.

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 (left)
Pressing this pedal will make the tone softer. You can con-
trol 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eectonlytothe
notes that are already being held down on the keyboard,
andwillsustainonlythosenotes.Thedampereect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 reso-
nance 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”).
