Connecting the Power
Connect the supplied AC adapter to the power cord. Insert the DC plug end into the
DC19V jack on the rear of the conector box. Next, plug the power cord into an AC outlet.
Pass the AC adapter cord through the cord hook so that the plug won’t be
removed from the jack accidentally (Fig. 1). When you unhook the cord,
don’t pull on the cord with force.
Be sure to use the AC adapter that came with your unit. Using other AC
adapters may cause the malfunctions or other unforeseen events.
Be sure to plug the unit into an AC outlet of the appropriate voltage.
Opening or closing the key cover
Opening the key cover
1. Using both hands, gently lift the key cover to open it.
2. Fold down the edge on the end of the key cover.
Closing the key cover
1. Raise the edge, and gently pull the key cover toward yourself.
2. When the key cover begins to close on its own, release it.
The key cover is designed to close softly on its own from about mid-way down.
Do not forcibly pull the key cover when closing this. In addition,
do not forcibly close the key cover by applying strong pressure.
Doing so will damage the unit.

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)
Pressingthispedalwillapplythedampereectonlytothe
notes that are already being held down on the keyboard,
andwillsustainonlythosenotes.Thedampereectwill
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”).

can transpose (shift the pitch) so that you can use an easier
fingering, or use the same familiar fingering to play at a
dierentpitch.ThisiscalledtheTransposefunction.
You can shift within a range of 11 semitones so that when
transposing upward by one semitone, playing the notes
shown at the left produces the pitches shown at the right.

Temperament
00 Equal temperament (default seing):
Spacing all semitones at equal pitch intervals,
this temperament is the most widely used.
01 Pure temperament [major]: Major chords in the
key (C) are perfectly tuned.
02 Pure temperament [minor]: Minor chords in
the key (C) are perfectly tuned.
03 Arabic: This scale includes the quarter-tone in-
tervals used in Arabic music.
04 Pythagorean: This ancient Greek scale is espe-
ciallyeectiveforplayingmelodies.Itconsists
ofperfectfths;however,otherintervals–the
major third in particular – is out of tune.
05 Werckmeister: The Werckmeister III scale was
created in the later Baroque period to allow
relatively free transposition.
06 Kirnberger: The Kirnberger III scale is used
mainly for tuning harpsichords.
07 Slendro scale: This is an Indonesian gamelan
scalewithvenotesperoctave.
08 Pelog scale: This is an Indonesian gamelan
scale with seven notes per octave.

MIDI
What is MIDI?
MIDI, is the abbreviation of Musical Instrument Digital
Interface. It is an international standard that was created
to connect and transfer data between electronic musical
instruments, computers and other devices.
What can you do with MIDI?
MIDI lets you control MIDI applications running on your
computer or play the sound generator on the LP-380 from
your computer when the LP-380 and computer are con-
nected with a USB cable. Connecting the LP-380 to a com-
puter that runs a music application will bring you even
more enjoyment when producing music and playing the
piano.
Connections
Connect the USB port on the LP-380 to your computer with
a USB cable.
WhentheLP-380isrstconnectedtoyourWindows
computer, the USB-MIDI driver pre-installed with the
operating system will be used automatically. This pre-
installed USB-MIDI driver will not allow the LP-380 to
access multiple programs or applications at the same
time. To remedy this situation, simply download the
KORG USB-MIDI driver at www.korg.com and install
the driver as instructed with the supporting documen-
tation.
Even if the LP-380 will not be used with multiple ap-
plications, we recommend installing the KORG USB-
MIDI driver, which should provide improved operat-
ing stability.
MIDI function mode
When the LP-380 is turned on, the MIDI parameters are
set to transmission channel 1, all reception channels (1–16),
LocalOnandOmniO.
These settings can be changed from the MIDI function
mode.

ning on the computer that you have connected. Also, the
LP-380 can receive MIDI program change numbers sent
from a MIDI application running on the computer you
have connected, to change programs on the LP-380.
This will not change the sound you hear when playing
the keyboard of the LP-380.

Troubleshooting
If during use any of the following problems should occur,
carefullyexaminetheinstrumenttoseeifyoucanndout
what the problem is, and try resolving it by following the
suggestions below. If the instrument will still not function
properly refer to your dealer.
The instrument will not turn on
• Check that the AC adapter is correctly connected to the
piano and the outlet.
No sound
• Is the speaker cord of the speaker box on the stand con-
nected with the speaker connector on the LP-380 cor-
rectly?
• Make sure that the volume is not set on MIN. If it is,
bring it up to an adequate level.
• Make sure that the MIDI Local function is not set on
OFF.Ifitis,setittoON(orturntheinstrumentoand
then on again).
• Make sure there is not a jack plugged into one of the
Headphones jacks. This would turn the internal speak-
erso.ifso,unplugthejack.
Notes are interrupted
• You have exceeded the maximum polyphony. see
“About maximum polyphony.”
The pitch or tone of the piano sounds wrong in some
key regions
• The LP-380’s piano sounds replicate the sound of an
actual piano as faithfully as possible. This means that
in some regions of the keyboard, you may feel that
the overtones seem stronger, or that the tone or pitch
seems wrong. This is not a malfunction.
The connected MIDI application does not respond to
MIDI data that you transmit.
• Make sure that the USB cable is connected correctly.
Please make sure that the LP-380 is set to the same
MIDI channel as your MIDI application, and that the
LP-380 is receiving MIDI data.
About maximum polyphony
If the number of notes being played simultaneously ex-
ceeds the maximum polyphony, some notes will be lost
since the LP-380 is equipped with a mechanism that stops
therstnotebeingplayedtogiveprioritytonotesplayed
with keys pressed later. Some LP-380 sounds, although
they may be a single sound, are generated by two or more
oscillators (one note of a sound-generating circuit). Sounds
using just one oscillator, such as those in banks 1 and 2 of
VIBES/GUITAR, have a maximum polyphony of 120 notes.
Sounds using two oscillators, such as those in banks 1 and
2 of PIANO2 and in banks 1 and 3 of E.PIANO2, have a
maximum polyphony of 60 notes.
120 ÷ Number of sound oscillators = Maximum polyphony
Keep the maximum polyphony in mind and carefully
choose sounds when using Layer mode to play two sounds
simultaneously or when using the damper pedal.
