Ideal for beginners and intermediate pianists alike, the white LP-380U is a digital home piano with authentic piano sounds and a stylish, slim body that ensures you don't have to sacrifice space in an apartment or small home where space is at a premium.
The LP-380U offers 30 rich, dynamic instrument sounds (five acoustic pianos) that are enjoyable to play. Korg's flagship 88-key RH3 (Real Weighted Hammer Action 3) keyboard reproduces the same playing experience as that of a grand piano, with heavier response in the lower register that becomes lighter as you play upward.
The onboard speaker system features two, high-output amplifiers, which reproduce a realistic piano sound with deep overtones and controllable volume. USB audio connectivity allows you to use the speakers to play music from a smartphone or tablet (iOS), suitable for both play along or background music when entertaining. Two headphone jacks are provided for quiet practice, alone or with a partner.
Educational tools abound to help you learn piano. The built-in metronome promotes accurate timing. The USB MIDI support lets you capture your performances as MIDI data on your smartphone/tablet (iOS), enabling you to evaluate your progress. Partner Mode divides the keyboard into left and right regions, making it easy for students and teachers to play side by side, or to play with a duet partner.
The USB functionality allows for easy connectivity to the bundled software including the KORG Module LE piano keyboard sound module app (iOS), the KORG Gadget 2 LE DAW music production app (iOS), and a trial version of Skoove online piano lessons app (iOS/Mac/Windows) to help you improve your playing.
The LP-380U is skillfully crafted in Kyoto, Japan by skilled workers dedicated to delivering a superior piano-playing experience throughout. The piano comes equipped with a stand and a three-pedal system that supports damper, soft, sostenuto, and half-pedaling.
The Classic Piano and Grand Piano sounds realistically reproduce the damper resonances that occur when you hold down the damper pedal of an acoustic piano, making the overall sound of the piano even more pleasant and enjoyable to play.
There's also a Key Touch Control function that lets you choose one of three levels to specify how your playing dynamics will affect the sound, allowing you to personalize the instrument to your own keyboard touch. With a view toward the environment, no lead is used in the hammers of the keyboard.
The six electric pianos cover the sounds widely used in pop music of the '60s and '70s, as well as some of the tones that are highly regarded in soul music.
The Layer Mode lets you play two sounds together, and the Partner Mode divides the keyboard into left and right regions, so that two people can play the same range of pitches at the same time.
You also have a choice of nine different temperaments, supporting historically authentic performances with period instrument ensembles.
There are three effects: Brilliance adjusts the brightness of the tone, Reverb simulates the natural ambience (reverberation) of a concert hall, and Chorus adds spaciousness.
