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.
Effects
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 effects
As on an acoustic piano, the LP-380 has three pedals that
control the damper, sostenuto and so eects. The damper
pedal and so 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
An amplied speaker or recording equipment can be con-
nected by using the LINE OUT jack.
MIDI capabilities
The LP-380 supports the MIDI protocol, the standard
that allows music data to be transferred between musi-
cal instruments and computers. MIDI allows two or more
devices to control or be controlled by each other, and also
allows you to use the LP-380 as a 16-part multitimbral tone
generator.
The LP-380 is available in the 88-key or 73-key version.
Unless otherwise noted, the 88-key version appears in
the illustrations of this manual.

Preparation and demo performances
Before you begin playing
About the included stand
The LP-380 is used with the included stand.
Make sure that you read the “Assembling the stand” section that can be found on page 17
before proceeding.
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li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 soly 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.
Be careful not to pinch your ngers or hands when closing the key
cover.
The temperature and humidity will aect how fast the key cover
closes.
The key cover may make a faint clicking sound when it’s be-
ing closed slowly. This is normal behavior for the unit.
Be careful not
to bend this part
too much when
you insert the
power cord.

Using the headphones
Use stereo headphones with a stereo 1/8” mini plug.
Since there are two headphone jacks on the lower le side of the LP-380 keyboard,
two people can enjoy the sound.
If headphones are plugged into the headphone jack, the LP-380’s speakers will not
produce sound.
Use headphones at night or when you don’t want disturb others.
If your headphones feature a standard-to-mini adapter plug, be sure to hold the
adapter plug when you connect or disconnect the headphones.
To protect your hearing, do not listen to loud, high-volume sounds for extended
periods of time through headphones.
Using the music stand
The key cover serves as a convenient music stand. (Fig. 2)
When placing opened music, do not apply strong pressure onto the key cover.
Turning the instrument on
Press the power buon to turn on the LP-380. (Fig. 3)
When the instrument is turned on, the buons on the control panel will light up.
To turn the instrument o, press the power buon again.
When the instrument is turned off, all functions and parameters, except the
auto power o function return to their factory default seings.
Auto power off function
When 30 minutes have passed without user input or demo performance, the in-
strument will be automatically turned o. To disable this function, turn o the
auto power o function (see page 13).
Adjust the volume
Rotate the VOLUME knob that’s located next to the power switch toward “MAX” to
raise the volume level.
Rotate it le toward “MIN” to lower the level. (Fig. 3)
The VOLUME knob controls the output level of the built-in speakers, the head-
phones jacks and the LINE OUT jacks.
It is always beer to start with a low volume and then increase gradually.
Using the LINE OUT jack
Use the LINE OUT jack, if you want to connect your LP-380 to a mixer, stereo hi-,
or a couple of active monitors. When using a stereo hi-, connect the LINE OUTs to
the AUX or LINE inputs.
You must only connect devices with the power turned o. Careless operation
may damage the LP-380 or the device where it’s connected, or malfunctions
may be caused.
Connection cables are sold separately. You will need to obtain the appropriate
commercially-available cables for your equipment.

Each time the LP-380 is turned on, the sound in bank
1 is selected for all sound buons.
Playing two sounds at the same time
(Layer mode)
You can play two sounds at the same time on the key-
board. This is called the Layer mode.
Simultaneously press the two sound buttons for the
sounds to be played at the same time.
The two selected sound buons will light up.
The lemost or uppermost selected sound buon is layer 1,
and the other (rightmost or lowermost) one is layer 2 (see
the diagram at the below).
For example, if E.PIANO1 and ORGAN1 are selected,
E.PIANO1 is layer 1 and ORGAN1 is layer 2. In order to
use sounds in dierent banks, rst select the banks in the
Single mode for the sound buons to be pressed.
For example, to play by layering the grand piano and
jazz organ 2 sounds, select bank 1 (grand piano) for the
PIANO1 buon and bank 2 (jazz organ 2) for the ORGAN1
buon, and then press both buons simultaneously.
When selecting Layer mode, the total number of voic-
es that can play at the same time is reduced, depend-
ing on the total number of oscillators used by the se-
lected sounds. (refer to “About maximum polyphony”
on page 16.)
Sounds in dierent banks for the same sound buon
(grand piano and jazz piano for the PIANO1 buon)
cannot be selected.
Returning to the Single mode
To return to Single mode, just press a single sound se-
lection buon.
Layer mode settings
In Layer mode, the volume balance between sounds
can be adjusted, the octave for each sound can be shi-
ed, and the damper pedal can be enabled or disabled
for each sound. (refer to “Function mode” on page 11.)

Using pedals
The LP-380 has three pedals; damper,
sostenuto, and so.
You can use the pedals to make your
playing more expressive and realistic.
Soft pedal (left)
Pressing this pedal will make the tone soer. You can con-
trol the soness 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”).

The seings are applied to all sounds.
Transpose
In some cases, a song may be wrien in a dicult key (e.g.,
many black keys), or you may wish to shift the pitch to
match another instrument or vocalist. In such cases, you
can transpose (shi the pitch) so that you can use an easier
fingering, or use the same familiar fingering to play at a
dierent pitch. This is called the Transpose function.
You can shift within a range of 11 semitones (10 semi-
tones*) so that when transposing upward by one semitone,
playing the notes shown at the left produces the pitches
shown at the right.
When the instrument is turned on, the transposing is
reset.
While holding down the TRANSPOSE button, press the
keyboard key (F#6–F7(E7*)) for the desired transposition.
If a keyboard key other than C7 is pressed, the TRANS-
POSE button lights up to indicate that the keyboard is
transposed.
The pitch of the entire keyboard is transposed according
to the pitch of the pressed keyboard key in relation to C7.
To return to the original pitches, hold down the TRANS-
POSE buon and press the C7 key. The TRANSPOSE but-
ton turns o, and transposition is canceled.

Aboutstretchedtuning
In order to produce the most natural resonance, PIANO1
and PIANO2 sounds use a “stretched tuning” that makes
the notes of the lower range slightly aer than equal tem-
perament, and the upper range slightly sharper. This is
how an acoustic piano is normally tuned by professional
tuners.

through 16 (C01–C16).
When the LP-380 is turned on, transmission channel 1 (C01)
is automatically selected.
• WhenyouentertheMIDIfunctionmode,thePIA-
NO1soundbuonlightsup.
When the MIDI function mode is entered, the MIDI
channel seing normally appears.
To specify the MIDI channel setting after changing
other settings in the MIDI function mode, press the
PIANO1 buon.
In the Layer mode, selecting the transmission channel
specifies the channel for layer 1. The transmission chan-
nel for layer 2 will automatically be set to the following
channel. For example, if MIDI channel 7 is selected for the
sound of layer 1, MIDI channel 8 will automatically be
specied for the sound of layer 2. If MIDI channel 16 is se-
lected for the sound of layer 1, channel 1 will be specied
for the sound of layer 2.
Local On/Off
With the Local On seing, playing the LP-380’s keyboard
produces the sounds of the performance as well as trans-
mits MIDI data. With the Local Off setting, playing the
LP-380’s keyboard does not produce the sounds of the
performance; MIDI data is only transmied. Normally this
parameter is set to Local On (default seing: on).
The Local Off setting should be selected when using the
LP-380 as a master keyboard, for example, to play sounds
from a connected MIDI device (a keyboard, sound module,
etc.). The LP-380 will not produce sound, but the perfor-
mance will be played by the connected MIDI device.
Select the Local Off setting (oFF) when using the LP-380
as a sound module, for example, when the LP-380 is con-
nected to a sequencer with its Echo Back seing (function
that sends back data that the sequencer received) selected
in order to prevent echoing of returned data.

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?
Thanks to MIDI, you can use the LP-380 to control other
instruments, use other instruments to control the LP-380,
and use a sequencer to create complex musical pieces.
When you use the LP-380 keyboard or pedal, or select a
sound, the notes, pedal activation and change in sound are
transmitted to another instrument, or are recorded by a
sequencer.
Connections
Commercially available MIDI cables are used to transfer
MIDI data. Connect these cables from the MIDI connectors
of the LP-380 to the MIDI connectors of the external MIDI
device that you want to exchange data with. There are two
types of MIDI connector.
MIDIINconnector
This connector receives MIDI messages.
The MIDI IN connector lets you play the LP-380’s sounds
from an external MIDI device (e.g., MIDI keyboard or se-
quencer). Use a MIDI cable to connect the LP-380’s MIDI
IN connector to your external MIDI device’s MIDI OUT
connector.
MIDIOUTconnector
This connector transmits MIDI messages.
The MIDI OUT connector lets you control an external
MIDI device using the MIDI messages transmitted from
the LP-380. Use a MIDI cable to connect the LP-380’s MIDI
OUT connector to your external MIDI device’s MIDI IN
connector.
MIDI function mode
When the LP-380 is turned on, the MIDI parameters are
set to transmission channel 1, all reception channels (1–16),
Local On and Omni O.
These settings can be changed from the MIDI function
mode.

Appendix
Troubleshooting
If during use any of the following problems should occur,
carefully examine the instrument to see if you can nd out
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. If it is, set it to ON (or turn the instrument o and
then on again).
• Make sure there is not a jack plugged into one of the
Headphones jacks. This would turn the internal speak-
ers o. if so, unplug the jack.
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 device does not respond to trans-
mitted MIDI data
• Make sure that all MIDI cables are correctly connected.
Make sure that the LP-380 is receiving MIDI data on
the same channel as the MIDI device.
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
the rst note being played to give priority to notes played
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.

Introduction
Principales caractéristiques
Trente timbres de qualité superbe
Le LP-380 ore 30 sons (ou “timbres”) pleins d’expression
et de qualité époustouante, dont un son stéréo de piano
à queue de concert. Le mode Layer permet de jouer simul-
tanément deux timbres et le mode Partner permet à deux
personnes de jouer sur une moitié du clavier en utilisant la
même plage de notes.
Effets
Le LP-380 comporte 3 eets numériques. Ces eets permet-
tent de régler la brillance du son (Brilliance), de simuler
l’environnement acoustique d’une salle de concert (Reverb)
et de rendre le son plus ample (Chorus).
Pédale d’effets
Comme tout piano acoustique, le LP-380 dispose de trois
pédales contrôlant les eets de pédale forte (maintien), de
pédale de soutien (sostenuto) et de pédale douce (sourdine).
La fonction mi-pédale est disponible pour la pédale forte et
la pédale douce, ce qui permet de doser l’intensité de l’eet
en appuyant plus ou moins fort sur la pédale. L’utilisation
de la pédale forte permet d’ajouter un effet de résonance
au son de piano classique et de piano à queue (banque 1 et
banque 2 de Piano1).
Métronome
Le métronome intégré vous permet de spécier la mesure,
le tempo et le volume, et vous permet aussi d’employer le
son d’une cloche comme accent.
Fonction de réglage du toucher
La réponse dynamique du clavier est une des caractéristiques
les plus importantes d’un piano, et le LP-380 vous permet de
choisir parmi trois types diérents de réponse dynamique.
Tempéraments
An de garantir un jeu authentique dans un vaste éventail
de styles musicaux, le LP-380 vous permet de choisir parmi
neuf tempéraments, comprenant la gamme tempérée, les
tempéraments purs (majeur et mineur), les tempéraments
classiques (Kirnberger et Werckmeister) ainsi que des tem-
péraments utilisés dans la musique traditionnelle d’Inde et
du Moyen-Orient. Quand vous choisissez un son de piano
acoustique, l’accord étendu utilisé sur les pianos est auto-
matiquement sélectionné.
Réglage de la hauteur
La fonction Transpose permet de modifier la hauteur du
timbre, tandis que la fonction Pitch Control permet d’eec-
tuer un accordage n.
Deux prises pour casque
Les deux prises pour casque (une sur la face avant et une
sur la face arrière du LP-380) permeent à deux personnes
l’écoute simultanée.
Prise LINE OUT
Vous pouvez brancher une enceinte active ou un du maté-
riel d’enregistrement à la prise LINE OUT.
Caractéristiques MIDI
Le LP-380 supporte le protocole MIDI, c’est à dire un pro-
tocole standard qui permet d’échanger des données musi-
cales entre instruments musicaux et ordinateurs. Le proto-
cole MIDI permet à deux dispositifs (ou plus) de piloter ou
d’être pilotés l’un l’autre ; le LP-380 peut ainsi fonctionner
comme un générateur sonore à 16 parties multitimbres.
